·PREFACE This is the sixth volume of the Series The Contribution of Women to Sanskrit Literature, viz., the Vaidyanātha-prāsāda-prašasti, attributed to Devakumārikā and the Santānagopāla-kāvya of Lakşmi Rājñi both critically edited for the first time. The Introduction contains accounts of the lives and works of Devakumārikā and Lakşmi. In addition, there are brief accounts of the complete works of five other poetesses, three published and the rest unpublished. These editions of the Vaidyanātha-prāsāda-prasasti and the Santānagopāla-kāvya have been prepared from a single manuscript each belonging respectively to the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal and the India Office Library, London. As the Santānagopāla-kāvya is of recent origin, probably very few MSS. of the same exist. The work is reported to have been published once in the South but no confirmation as to this was possible as none of the Libraries applied to could supply me a copy or give me definite informations about the publishers, editor, etc. An attempt has been made to identify the persons and places mentioned in these works, and also to verify historically the informations given in the Vaidyanāthaprāsāda-prasasti and trace to their sources the traditions mentioned in the Santānagopāla-kāvya. Wherever necessary, additional informations about the incidents referred to in these works have been given in foot-notes.

·The different parts of a compound have been hyphenated and proper names printed in bold types for the convenience of readers. Thanks are due to Dr. H. N. Randle, M.A., D. Phil., Librarian, India Office Library, London and the authorities of the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal for permitting me to edit their manuscripts. University of Calcutta J. B. C. 1940.

·INTRODUCTION Description of the MS. of the Vaidyanatha-prūsāda-prasasti The MS. of the Vaidyanātha-prāsāda-prasasti consists of ten sheets of foolscap paper written in Devanāgara on one side only. 26 lines in a page. It was copied by Rūpabhadra, son of Govardhana, in Samyat 1775 i.e. 1719-20 A.D. It is complete but much discoloured. The MS. is so defective that even many metrical feet have been altogether omitted, not to speak of many words that have been omitted by the scribe throughout. The emendations have been numerous ; as a result, no attempt is made here to show them in foot-notes or an Appendix. The post-colophon records the date of the MS. as Samyat 1775 i.e. 1719-20 A.D. :- 24 पञ्च-द्वीप-मुनीन्दु-सन्मित-शरच्छुक्लासिताद्रीन्द्रजा ? घस्र सूर्य-सुतान्विते बिजवरो गोवर्धनस्थात्मजः । प्रत्यर्थि-क्षितिभृत्-पराजय-कर-श्रीमण्डित... ...पामतरेश्वरस्य वचनाच्छोरूपभद्रोऽलिखत् ॥ Authorship of the Vaidyanatha-prūsada-prasasti. The verses entitled Vaidyanatha-prāsāda-prasasti, found inscribed on the temple consecrated to Vaidyanātha, are attributed to Devakumārikā by Mahāmahopādhyāya Haraprasāda Šāstrin in his Catalogue of Sanskrit manuscripts at the Royal Asiatic Society of ·12 INTRODUCTION Bengal, Vol. IV, History and Geography, p. 13, MS. No. 3086. Although the MS. is very corrupt, still all the five colophons are legible and clear. Out of the five colophons, the colophon to the third prakarana, viz. the Dāna-prašaņsā-prakaraṇa?, indicates nothing regarding the authorship of the work ; of the remaining four, two, viz. those of Cantos I and V, show that the Inscription was not composed by Devakumārikā while the remaining two, viz., those of Cantos II4 and IV, do not go against the attribution of the verses to her if the compounds be expounded in the particular way as shown below. The colophon to prakarana I runs as follows: इति देवकुमारिका-नाम-राज-माट-कारित-वैद्यनाथ-प्रासाद-प्रशस्तौ वंश- वर्णनम्। Now, the compound देवकुमारिका......प्रशस्तौ may be expounded as follows 179FICT Fitfra: तादृशः वैद्यनाथ- प्रासादः...। Or......राजमात्रा कारिता ; तादृशी वैद्यनाथ-प्रासाद- Anfa: ; TH1 As regards this colophon, in either case, it cannot be concluded that the Inscription was composed by Devakumārikā ; for in the first case, the compound means the inscription on the temple of Vaidyanātha that was caused to be built by Devakumārikā, etc.; and, in the second case, it would mean the Inscription, that was composed at the instance of Devakumūrikā, on the temple of Vaidyanātha. Similar is the case with the colophon to prakarana V. But with regard to the colophons to Cantos II and IV, the word stick (in contrast to gifta ) may be so interpreted as to mean that the Vaidyanātha-prāsāda-prasasti was composed by Devaku- . 2. P. 16 3. P. 46 1. P. 30 5. P. 38 4. P. 23 ·INTRODUCTION 13 as mārikā herself or otherwise. The colosion to Canto II is as follows : इति देवकुमारिका-नाम-राज-माट-कृत-वैद्यनाथ- प्रासाद प्रशस्तौ...द्वितीय-प्रकरणम्। Here also the compound may be expounded as above, making aid follow HTC or AUFET I Ifaia is taken an adjective to ufa, the colophon does not indicate that the verses were composed by Devakumārikā; for, then, it would simply mean the inscription on the temple of Vaidyanātha built by Devakumārikā. But if sia is taken as an adjective to qafel, the colophon indicates that Devakumārikā was the composer of the verses, for, the compound would mean the Inscription composed by Devakumārikā, on the temple of Vaidyanātha and in that case the verses may be said to have been rightly ascribed to her. But the evidence of the body of the Inscription does not corroborate the above ascription. Throughout the work there is no mention that Devakumārikā composed the prasasti. On the other hand, though the composition is full of detailed information about Devakumārikā, nowhere does the poet say anything in the first person ; everything is stated in the third. It is not that a poet does not at times speak of self in the first person in a Sanskrit work but here there is no reference to self in the first person whatsoever in the body of the Inscription which makes the ascription of the verses to Devakumārikā very doubtful. Again, verses 87, 102, 106, 108, 110, 115, 116, 125, etc. strongly suggest that the composition was by some body else than Devakumārikā. The octad, at the end of the fifth prakarana is expressly stated to have been composed by Hariscandra? and it 1. V. 142, p-46.

·14 INTRODUCTION seems that the remaining portion of the Prašasti was really composed by a Brāhmaṇa poet Srinivāsa Rāya who, as mentioned in the fourth prakarana, though clever could not enumerate adequately the noble deeds of Queen Devakumārika (ततपुण्य-कर्माणि कविः कथञ्चित् संख्यां विधातुनिपुणोऽपि नेष्ठे ) and who was responsible for making the consecration ceremony a success.? Still we considered it fit to publish the Vaidyanāthaprāsāda-prašasti in this volume in order to bring to light all the facts regarding the Inscription so that scholars may judge for themselves, Further we hope that the discovery of further materials will throw new light on the point at issue. The Inscription, too is important for the History of Rajputana of the eighteenth century. Life and Date of Devakumarika. Devakumārikā was the wife of Rāņā Amarasimha, daughter-in-law of Jayasimha and mother of Samgrāmasimha of Chitor and Candrakumārikā.8 She was the daughter of Sabalasimha and sister of Sultānasimha. She flourished between the second half of the seventeenth and the first half of the eighteenth century. Her son was coronated in 1710-11 A.D. and as a widow, she consecrated the temple of Vaidyanātha in 1/16 A.D. 1. V. 13, p. 39. 2. V 14, p. 39. 3. V. 109, p. 38: 4. Verses. 100-101, p. 35. 5.

It composed during the consecrationceremony of the temple of Vaidyanātha in the Samyat year 1772, i.e. 1715-16 A.D. 1 The first prakarana as the name implies, gives the history of the Royal family of Mewar in short, referring to the important activities of the Rāņās, ancestor of Rāņā Amara, husband of Devakumārikā. The succession of kings as given here is as follows: Bāpā Rāwal Bhimasimha [died 1303 A.D.]. Jayasimha Rahappa Rāņa [1201 A.D.] Narapāla Laksmanasimha (1313-14 A.D.

Udayasimha, son of Samgrāmasimha, built the beautiful city of Udayapura”. Pratāpasimha, the celebrated hero, the glory of Medieval India, became the protector of religion when other Ksatriyas abandoned its ; he stood most valiantly partly composed by Rāṇā Kumbha (unpublished); The Eklii.gaji Temple Inscription of Maheśvara, court-poet of RaiMal, in 100 verses (A.D. 1489), published in the Bhavanagar Inscriptions, p. 117; Jawar Inscription of the Temple of Ramaswami (A.D. 1497-_in three pieces containing 40 verses) ; The Rājaprašasti (A.D. 1676——; containing 24 cantos, engraved on 25 slabs -summarized in the Rajputana Museum, Ajmer, for 1917-18 A.D., pp. 2-3.

Jagatsimha, son of Karņa, built up a massive and high temple of Vişņu in front of the royal compounds. His son Rājasimha excavated the lake Rājasamudra for the good of his people and captured Malpurs on the Ajmer frontier that belonged to the emperor of Delhi. Amara, son of Jayasimha, built a palace called Varasadvilāsa and also the temple called Jaganmandira. He conguered Sāhapura and died at the height of his fame. In this prakaraņa, there is a marked tendency to explain the names of kings as significant of their achievements in life. Thus it is said that the title Rāņā was quite appropriate for the Kings of Mewar who were outstandingly clever in warfare. The name Narapāla was an apt one as the king, successor of Rāhappa, ruled his subjects with unparalled success. Dinakara was called so because he had the lustre of the sun. The name Yaśaḥkarna was significant as the fame of the Rāņā spread far and wide. Nāgapāla was so called as he had the might of innumerable elephants?; Pūrņapāla because he governed his kingdom for the complete happiness of people, and Pythvimalla, because he 1. V. 35. 2.

Bhuvanasimha was the one champion stalwart ruler at whose sight all the elephant-like kings took to heels. Bhimasimha was simply a terror to his enemies as Bhima wasº and Jayasimha is reported to have made Victory a permanent factor of his lifes. Lakşmanasimha resembled Rāma's younger brother Lakşmaņa as he defeated his enemies resembling Meghanāda. Arisimha's feet were adorned with the gems of the elephants of vanquished kings*. Lakşasimha instataneously made a gift of a lakh (Laksa) of coins, and defeated his enemies hundred thousand i.e. lakh times. The 'Ma’ of Rānā Mokala means "Vişnu' and the 'U' means Siva ; the Rāņā was called Mokala because both Vişnu and Siva reigned supreme in his hearts. Rāṇā Kumbha was so called because he was born to drink dry, like the pitcherborn sage, the ocean of hostile armies, more skilful in warfare than Kumbhakarna, constantly devoted to the enemy of Kumbhakarņa i.e. Rāma and had his mind constantly given in offering pitcherfuls of gold, silver, etc.?

The second prakarana of the Vaidyanātha-prāsāda. prasasti begins with a description of the coronation ceremony of Samgrāmasimhaº which took place in Jyaistha, Samvat 1767 i.e. 1710-11A.D. Sukharāma, the old priest, took a leading part and made all the preparations for the proper performance of the ceremony. After the performance of the rite in course of which the king was bathed with holy water, he toured round the city on an elephant's back. Soon after his accession to the throne, he ordered the Rāvala prince Samgrāma, his namesake, to vanquish the Mewatis. Kānthajit, a Kāyastha, joined Samgrāma in his fight against the Mewatis. In the battle both Samgrāma and his enemy Dalelakhān were killed. At the end, however, the Rāņā was victorious". By and ly Rāņā Saņgrāmasimba II conquered all the neighbouring kingdoms. Vihāridāsa, his Chief Minister, was an outstanding personality, highly learned, very pious and extemely devoted to the good of the King and the country. He was responsible for the wide spread of culture and education among people and their broad religious outlook. With his sanction the king offered gifts.

happiness as well as the all-round good of their country?.
As the prosperity of the country increased by leaps and
bounds to an unprecedented degree the reverence of the
people for Samgrāmasimha knew no bounds.
The third prakaraṇa dwells on the benevolence of
Rāņā Samgrāmasimha. It is said that he often used to
make gifts to learned priests, deserving scholars and others
such as Dakşiņāmūrti of the South, Dinakara (1724-25
A.D.) of Benares, Sukhānanda the logician, Pundarika
and Devarāma versed in Vedic Rituals, and Kamalākānta
Bhatta, the astrologer and teacher.
The fourth prakarana describes the maternal side of
the great ruler Samgrāmasimha II. The traditional story
of Cāhuvāna's origin is given in some detail. Then we
come down to Samgrāma Rāva who was invited by the
king of Chitor to reside in his kingdom. The genealogical
table of the family of Devakumārikā as given in the
Inscription is as follows:
1. Caturanga Cabuyāna

2. Samgrāma Rāva
3. Pratāpa Rāva
4. Balabhadra
5. Rāmacandra
6. Savalasimha

Devakumārikā

·22 INTRODUCTION Then we get some personal informations of Devakumārikā herself. She married Rāņā Amarasimha of Mewar and was the mother of Rāņā Samgrämasimha, After the death of Rāņā Amara and the accession of Samgrāma to the throne, the Queen Mother made up her mind to dedicate her life to the cause of religion as is normally the case with widows. She performed three Tulādānas i.e. gave away on each occasion silver equal to her own weight. During the second Tula-dāna, silver equal to the weight of Princess Candrakumārikā and Devakumārikā's grandson was offered. She then erected a temple, inside which she dug a well, for consecration to Siva in Śrīšārāma, a village now known as Sisaram which had already a temple of Siva in it. The temple had a marvellous view, particularly in its high tower decorated with gold. The fifth canto deals with the opening ceremony of the holy temple of Vaidyanātha in A. D. 1716 in which the great Bhima of Koţā and Rāmasimha of Dungara, celebrated priests and other stalwarts of the day were present. On this particular occassion Devakumārikā, the Queen Mother, was immensely helped by Minister Haraji and Ūdā, son of Premā, her own maid. riest Sukharāma together with other renowned priests performed all the religious rites in connection with the inauguration of the temple. The ceremony was performed with due eclat. The Queen Mother is said to have performed the fourth Tulā-dāna at the end of the ceremony. This canto ends with an octad, a charming hymn to Siva by Hariscandra.

·INTRODUCTION 23 Critical remarks The lineage of the Rāņās of Udayapura given in the Vaidyanātha-prāsāda-prasasti is on the whole right). In the Prasasti genuine history has been given in the garb of real poetry. In the first prakarana, puns upon the names of the Rāņās have been adopted in a clever way; the meanings hinted at are mostly historically correct. Thus the interest of history has not been altogether neglected for the sake of poetry. Apart from the activities of the Rānās referred to, the following informations, in addition to the others stated above, are also historically true: 1. The Rāņāas of Mewar were staunch followers of Siva. 2. Hārīta, himself a devotee of Siva and a great sage, was at the root of all prosperity of Bāppā, founder of the Guhilot dynasty. 3. The title Rāņā was introduced for the first time into the history of India by Rāhappa, a family-poet and successor of Bāppā. The historical accounts in the following prakaranas as well are mostly accurate; there is however, some chronological difficulty, with reference to the accession of Samgrāmasimha to the thrones. This inscription records the names of a galaxy of leading personalities of Chitor and the neighbouring countries of the 18th Century A.D., viz., Vihāridāsa, 1. See the foot-notes in Prakarana I. The account on the whole, agrees with Tod's Annals of Rajasthan. 2. See pp. 17–18. 3. See f.n. 3, p. 17.

·24 INTRODUCTION as the Premier, Sukharāma the priest and so on. It is clear from the Praśasti that the king almost equally honoured the leading persons of various ranks of life, the deserving scholars as well as other personalities of high renown, an astrologer? as well as a physician”, a logicians as well a Vedic scholar4 and so on. It is only towards the end of the praśasti that the real subject-matter is dealt with ; the praśasti is called Vaidyanāthā-prāsāda-prasasti, but the first four chapters have nothing to do with Vaidyanātha or the temple consecrated to him. The composition is, no doubt, meant for the eulogy of Vaidyanātha and the Royal family of which he is the Family Deity in his Ekalinga form. So one can, probably, pass over the wilful violation of the tradition that Siva should be given precedence over Gaņeśa at the beginning of a work”. The treatment of the Vaidyanātha-prāsāda-prasasti is quite straightforward. Exaggerations in prakaranas two to five and almost every stanza therein has some historical bearing. The style is lucid. The composition cannot, however, be said to be marked with much rhetorical excellence. There are, however, a few good figures of speech® and happy illustrations of Guna Samādhi'. There are a few grammatical drawbacks in the composition. No uncommon metre has been used. are rare 1. Verses 83-84, p. 29. 2. V. 74, p. 24. 3. V. 76, p. 25 4. V. 77, p. 26 5 Verses 1 and 2, p. 1. 6.

This Lakşmi Rajõi is altogether a different person from Rāņi Gauri Lakşmi Bāyī of Travancore (1811-1815) who was first sovereign in her own right, and subsequently as regent on the birth of her eldest son Maharaja Svati Tirunal Rama Varma, the famous poet, musician and composer (for an account of her reign, see Travancore State Manual by Dewan Bahadur V. Nagam Aiyar, chap. vi, vol. 1).

·28 INTRODUCTION by the Queen out of affection for Prince Ravivarman in spite of her ill health.. The Santāna-gopāla-kāvya”, in three cantos consisting of 43+37 +50=130 verses, is based on a story from the Bhāgavata-purāņa. In the first canto, we get the pathetic picture of a pious Brahmin, losing one son after another, approaching and earnestly praying to Krşņa at Dvārakā for saving his sons, yet getting no response from him. In this way, the Brahmin lost eight sons one after another. When his ninth son too died, he once more went to Dyārakā to solicit the favour of Krsna., and was coming back, disappointed as before, when Arjuna who happened to be present there, was moved by his piteous lamentation and promised to save his tenth child when it would be born. The grief-stricken father was at first rather doubtful of Arjuna's ability to help him in this respect. But Arjuna assured the Brahmin by reminding him of his (Arjuna's) glorious past deeds and even went so far as to yow solemnly that either he would save the Brahmin's tenth child, or immolate himself on the funeral pyre. When the tenth child was about to be born, elaborate preparations were made by Arjuna for protecting him from the clutches of death. The entire house, where the child was about to be born, was well-fortified with arrows and weapons and so on. But inspite of all these precau- 1. See the last verse of the Santānagopāla-kāyya. 2.

·INTRODUCTION 29 tions, no sooner was the child born than it died, whereupon the disappointed and bereaved father heaped up abuses on Arjuna. Arjuna at once went to the abode of the god of death in search of the dead child, but failing to find it anywhere, he returned and prepared to burn himself to death. Then Krsna appeared on the spot, and dissuaded Arjuna from committing suicide by promising to bring the Brahmin's dead child to life. In the second canto, Krsna and Arjuna are found approaching Hari in order to submit their petition to him direct. They crossed the Lokāloka mountain, and on approaching the Lord began to eulogise and pray to him. The pleased Lord asked them what he could do for them, whereupon Kyşna related what had happened and what they had come for. The Lord, then, graciously granted their prayer and further told them now that they had visited His place, they had become purged of all their sins and would enjoy eternal bliss in His region after death. The third canto portrays the overwhelming joy of the Brahmin and his wife on being restored, not only of one, but of all the ten children. The work ends with the picture of the over-joyed father pouring blessings on Arjuna and offering homage to Krsna by recounting his glorious past deeds and achievements. Critical estimate of the Santānagopala-kāvya. The work is outstandingly religious in tone as it is written really to eulogize Vişnu and Krşna, and thus to educate Prince Ravivarman in theological lore. The poetess exhibits womanly tenderness when she states that Krşņa as well as Arjuna were guilty of killing ·30 INTRODUCTION people in the Kuruksetra war and they had to be purgated of this sin. The pride they took in winning the Kurukşetra war had to go too. That is why, says our poetess, the two mighty heroes had to visit the region of Vişnu". In this work we get some beautiful descriptions, e.g., of the Lokāloka mountain, Vişņu lying on the serpent Seşa, etc. The stavas of Krsna and Arjuna to Vişnuº and of the Brahmin to Krsna: are really good ones. The poetess has a simple and sweet style. She avoids compounds. We do not meet with many many rhetorical devices in the first and second cantos. The third canto is, however, full of Yamakas. The poetess is an adept in traditional lore. Her work Santānagopāla is short but the knowledge of the Paurāņika Literature she has shown in it is great. References to the epics, Purāṇas, etc. have been given in this edition in foot-notes. Lakşmi Rājñī has employed in this work the metres Vasanta-tilaka, Mālini, Upendravajrā and Upajātī®, Puşpitāgrā" Druta-vilambitas, Sārdūla-vikridita', Pịthvīżo and Sikhariņi12. 1. V. 35, p. 67. 2.

·INTRODUCTION 31 3. GANGADEVI Gangādevī, consort of Prince Kampana, also called Kamparāya", of Vijayanagara, has left for us a work called Madhurā-vijaya, only a fragment of which is extant. The book has been edited from a single incomplete and defective manuscript belonging to a private individual of Trivandrum? There is an incomplete MS. of the Madhurā-vijaya in the Government Oriental MSS. Library, Madras, No. R. 219 (Triennial Catalogue, III. 2985). This is really a copy of the Trivandum MS. This MS. is written in Devanāgara on paper while the MS. used for the printed edition is a palm-leaf one in Grantha character. As Vira Kamparāya was the second son of Bukka Rāya who ruled from 1343 to 1379 A.D., the work must have been composed by the middle of the fourteenth century A.D. 1. First Vijayanagara Dynasty Samgama Harihara I Kampa Bukka I Mārapa Muddapa Harihara II Kampa Chikka Samgama Virūpaņņa Kampa Bhāskara Mallinātha For an account of Bukka I and his minister Madhava Ācārya, see my edition of Kāla-Madhava, Part I, Introduction, pp. xxv ff. 2. See Bibliography in loco.

·32 INTRODUCTION The work begins with a description of Bukkarāya, founder of Vijayanagara Dynasty, and presents a good picture of Vijayanagara situated on the Tungabhadrā. Bukka's favourite wife was Devāyi, mother of Kampana, hero of the present work. Samgama and Kampana the younger were his other two sons by the same wife (v. 40, p. 17). The name Kampana was purposely given as his parents wanted him to make his enemies tremble with fear (v. 34, p. 16 of the printed edition). The prince was trained in all worldly matters including warfare by his father. On the express wish of Bukkarāya, Prince Kampana embarked on his expedition to conquer various kings of the south viz., Camparāya of Tundira (Tondamandala), the forest-chiefs or Vanyarājas and the king of the Turuşkas of Madura. During his compaign against Camparāya he passed through Karṇāta and Mulbāgal (Kanțakānana), crossed the Pālār (Kşīratarangiņi) and encamped at Virincipuram where his army encountered the enemies. Kampa laid siege to the fort of Rājagambhiram where he had a duel with Camparāya who was subsequently killed. Then Kampa proceeded to conquer Kāñcí (modern Conjeeveram). Subsequently, he vanquished the Sultan of Madura (Madhurā). As the manuscript of the work comes to an abrupt end after what is presumed to be the eighth canto and some forty-one verses of some other canto, no further details are available. Thus the Madhurā-vijaya-kāvya is historically important, supplying us with a short but authentic history of Vijayanagara in the fourteenth century A.D. The incidents mentioned here agree with those given in the ·INTRODUCTION 33 Sāļuya-abhyudaya by Rājanātha alias Diņqima Kavi? Rāmābhyudaya attributed to Sāļuva Narasimhaº, the Prapannāmſta by Anantācārya, etc. But Gangādevi combined in herself the rare gifts of a poetess and a historian. The camp-life of Kampana described in canto VI and the conversation between the king and his consort Gaigadevi, our poetess, are charmingly described. These two cantos have nothing much of history in them and other cantos as well bear genuine marks of high class poetry. The way in which Gangadevi refers to a large number of poets, dramatists, etc., viz., Prācetasa, Vyāsa, Kālidāsa Bāṇabhatta, Bhāravi, Dandin, Bhavabhūti, Karņāmrtakavi, Tikkaya, Agastya the poets, Gangadhara the 1.

Still that she was fastidious about literary compositions is evident from her remarks that no literary composition, however excellent, can claim to be perfect as none of them can be said to possess all the requisite qualities of perfection, viz., wording, meaning, thought and sentiments. In the part of the Madhurā-vijaya that is available, metres Anustubh, Upajati, Vamsastha, Druta-vilam bita and Puşpitāgrā have been employed. The work is composed in the Vaidarbhi style and the diction is graceful. The similes and metaphors are lively and sometimes striking*.

Jayanti or Vaijayanti Jayanti was the wife of Krşnanātha, son of Durgādāsa Cakravartin of Koţālipādā, Faridpur, Bengal. She was born of a learned Brahmin family of Dhānuka at Vikrampura, Dacca. Some verses are attributed to her. I She is also said to have been the joint authoress of the Ananda-latikā-campū in accordance with a tradition current in Bengal. But it seems doubtful whether the attribution is right. Only two MSS. of the Anandalatikā are extant; one belongs to the India Office Library and the other to Pandita Dinabandhu Sahityaśāstrin, publisher of Samskſta-Sāhitya-Parişat-Patrikā, 7. R. G. Kar Road, Calcutta. Pandita Dinabandhu ſahityaśāstrin's elder brother began to edit the works. The Ananda-latikā is being published in the Samskrta- Sāhitya-Parişat-Patrikā as the work of Jayantīdevī and her husband. In the following passage in p. 2 of this edition* which has not still proceeded far, it is stated that Krşņanātha Kavi composed the work in collaboration with his wife. आनन्दकः-आर्याः, श्रीमन्नन्द-नन्दन-चरण-सरसोरह-मनन-परितुच्छित- विषयरस-श्रौटुर्गादास-चक्रवति -तनयेन पत्नी-सहायेन श्रीकृष्णनाथ- कविना विरचितमानन्दलतिका-ग्रन्थमधीतवानस्मि । Now, we find this passage in toto in the India Office 1 See Sanskrit Poetess, Part A, p.

·36 INTRODUCTION Library MS. except the compound पत्नी-सहायेन | Not only this but also there is no trace of Jayantidevi's collaboration with Krşnanātha, her husband, anywhere in the same. On the contrary, the colophons explicitly state that the work was composed by Krşnanātha Sārvabhauma Bhattācarya himself ; e.g. the colophon to the fifth canto : इति श्रीमहामहोपाध्याय-कृष्णनाथ-सार्वभौम-भट्टाचार्य-विरचितानन्द- लतिकायां पञ्चम-कुमुमम् । All other colophons are the same mutatis mutandis. Therefore, it is impossible to accept her as the joint author of the work on the basis of the evidence supplied by the India Office manuscript. Curious to find out whether the MS. at present belonging to Paņdita Dinabandhu Sābityaśāstrin really contains any reading justifying the tradition I approached him. He was very kind to show me the manuscript. Unfortunately, that part of the folio of the MS. that is supposed to have contained the reading पत्नी-सहायेन in the passage quoted above was found missing. I carefully consulted the manuscript but could not get any evidence in it in support of the joint authorship of Jayantīdevī. On the contrary, the following concluding verse in this MS., not found in the India Office Liberary MS. definitely establishes that Jayantidevi cannot be said to be the joint author of the work :- शाके वेद-मुनीषु-चन्द्र-गणिते (१५७४) पचे वलचे मधौ श्रीमहन्ध-पदारविन्द-युगल-श्रौतर्कवागीश्वरम् । नत्वा श्रीहिज-कृष्णनाथ-बटु ना काव्यं मया कल्पितं दोषावेशमपास्य साधु-हृदयैराखाद्यमेतच्चिरम् ॥

·INTRODUCTION 37 The MS. in question is dated Śaka 1574 i.e. 1652-53 A.D., the date of Krşņanātha Sārvabhauma himself. When in this MS. it is stated get a read i.e. the work is composed by me and nothing whatsoever about the help of his wife is mentioned, Jayantidevi cannot be accepted as the joint author of the work. The colophons also, which are identical with those found in the India Office MS., lead to the same conclusion. Therefore, as the only two extant MSS. clearly show that the work was composed by Krsnanātha himself, the claim that his wife too had anything to do with the composition of the work is, at the present state of our knowledge, wholly unwarrantable?. The line re-afacit- चम्पूर्येनाकारि स्त्रिया सह is not traceable in any of the above two manscripts. 4. Madhuravāni. Madhuravāņi was one of the most brilliant scholars of the court of Raghunātha Bhūpa of Tanjore. Probably Madhuravāni is not her real name but only a descriptive title meaning a lady possessed of a melodious voice We cannot be sure whether she is identical with 1. This cancels our previous view about the joint authorship of Jayantidevi in Sanskrit Poetesses, Part A, Introduction, p.

Unfortunately, the only MS. of this important work belonging to the Veda-Vedānta-Mandiram, Malleśvaram, Bangalore, is no more extant ; in any case, no body seems to know anything definitely about its existence. On my enquiry Mr. M.C. Krishnaswamy Iyenger, Librarian of the said Library, kindly informed me in his letter, dated 19-4-1938, that the Books and Manuscripts deposited in the Library prior to 1928 had all been returned to the owners during that year owing to severe ravages of white ants into the shelves and that these had never come back to the Library; again Rao Babadhur Mahamahopādhyaya R. Narasimhācārya, M.A., M.R.A.S., the then President of the Management Committee who would have been able, probably, to throw some light on the whereabouts of the MS. in question had also passed away on 6-12-1936 (Sunday). The Mahāmahopādhyāya had a valuable collection of Kanarese, Telugu, English, Tamil and Sanskrit Books besides those of archæological interests. The Librarian thought I had better write to his adopted son Mr. R. Tirunarayana Iyengar at 9, West Park Road, Malleśvaram. Accordingly I did so. But Mr. Iyengar in his turn informed me that he did not know anything about it. So one of the outstanding records of the literary 1.

·INTRODUCTION 39 achievements of Indian Women seems to have been lost for ever. At present we possess, however, only a short summary of Madhuravāņi's valuable work in the Indian Review of February, 1908. As in spite of my best efforts the MS. in question could not be traced, the account given below is based upon that article. The MS. was a palm-leaf one in Telugu script and incomplete. The work was composed by the middle of the seventeenth century A.D. The poetess was, probably, a native of Mysore. The work furnishes no infomation about her parentage. We come to know only this much that she was born of a learned family?. Madhurayāņi claims her proficiency in music and similar other arts which probably enabled her to secure the favour of Raghunātha who was himself a great musician and literateur. She is also supposed to be the author of several campüs rich in Dhvani or suggeston, and different versions of the Naişadha-kāvya and Kumāra-sambhava. The first canto opens, as usual, with the invocation of the blessings of various gods on Raghunātha, patron of the poetess. Then Madhuravāni offers her homage to various poets including Mayūra and Mankha. In the same i.e. the first canto she gives a graphic description of Raghunātha and the grandeur of his court and relates how the work came to be composed. Raghunātha was anxious to have his Andhra-Rāmāyaṇa translated into Sanskrit and accordingly was wondering who among the galaxy of learned ladies of his court skilful in composing original Sanskrit and Telugu works? was best suited for 1. 1.91 2. 1.83 ·40 INTRODUCTION the task. One night he dreamt in a dream that Rāmacandra appeared to him and declared that Madhuravāni would be the best for the purpose. Next day in the assembly he made his dream known to her who readily undertook the task. The proper subject matter of the work i.e. the story of the Rāmāyaṇa begins with the second canto. In cantos II-IV we get an account of Daśaratha anxious for progeny and performing sacrifice for the same. Cantos y and VI recount the birth and childhood of the four Princes Rāma and others; how Viśvāmitra approached Daśaratha for Rāma's help for the destruction of Tādakā, how Rāma killed Tādakā and on his way back, restored Ahalyā to life. In the next two (vii ond viii) cantos, we get a vivid description of the breaking of Siya's bow by Rāma at Janaka's court ; his marriage with Sītā; and the defeat of Parasurāma. Cantos IX and X describe the festivities in connection with the installation of Rāma; Kaikeyi's malicious intervention ; Rāma's exile ; Bharata's failure to persuade Rāma to return. Canto XI deals with the mutilation of Śūrpaņakhā and the abduction of Sītā. The following canto (xii) describes Rāma's search for Sitā, meeting with Sugrīva and the subsequent killing of Bāli. Cantos XIII and XIV narrate the search of Sitā by Sugrīva and others ; her discovery by Hanumān. This brings us up to folio 115 of the MS. where there is an abrupt break but as some portion of the Yuddha-kāņda of the Rāmāyaṇa is dealt with in folios marked 126, 1 9 and 140, it is evident that the work was completed by the poetess herself. Folios 13, 29-30, 105, 116-125, 127-128, 129-139 of the MS. are said to have been missing. In its ·INTRODUCTION 41 incomplete form the MS. consists of 14 cantos and 1500 stanzas. It is evident that high female education was the rule of the society in South India in mediaeval ages. Rāmabhadrāmbā, Madhuravāni and others who adorned the court of Raghunātha, Gangādevi and Tirumalāmbā bear testimony to this. 5. Ramabhadramba The Raghunāthābhyudaya was composed about the second half of the seventeenth century A.D. by Rāmabhadrāmbā of the court of the Nayaka King Raghunatha. She was a great favourite of the king", her patron, through whose grace she obtained the status of a distinguished poetess (साहित्य-साम्राग्य-भद्रपोठारूढ). Nowhere in the work, even in the colophons, is there any suggestion that she 1. See particulary, the last two cantos of Rāmabhadrāmba's Raghunāthābhyudaya. Madhuravāņi refers to them in her Rāmāyaṇa-kāvya : विपञ्चिकायां चतुरा: प्रगलभाः शास्त्रऽतिदक्षाः सरस-प्रबन्धे । समीपमेतस्य समेत्य केऽपि सुभ्र-जनाः खख-कलाः व्यवण्वन् ॥ (1.78) सवोत्तर स्वादिम-संस्कृतान्ध्र-प्रबन्ध निर्माण-पचैलिमानि । यशांसि भूयास्यवतारयन्त्यः सहस्रशः सन्ति सरोजनेनाः ॥ (1. 82) 2 V.10, p. 2, शब्दार्थयोमर्म समप्रधानं वशंवदं यस्य वदन्ति सर्वे । कृती स एवात्न कृतौ सहायो नाथो मम श्रीरघुनाथ-नामा ॥ 3 The Queen authoresses usually, as very natural, ·42 INTRODUCTION was the Queen of Raghunātha. On the other hand, her remarks that all others take him to be Raghuvara but she herself and others who know him intimately consider him an incarnation of krşņa?, her unstinted and unqualified praise for harlots, etc. and the frivolous nature of the king making love to a whole host of women as shown in Cantos XI and XII% all lead to one conclusion, viz., that she was not a Queen, but a Mistress, of Raghunātha Nāyaka. This epic consists of twelve cantos. It begins with a prayer to various gods and goddesses for the all-round happiness of Raghunātha and for the completion of the work without any impediment. The poetess also acknowledges her deep sense of gratitude to king Raghunātha for his patronage. The first canto gives a description of the beautiful country of the Colas. The rivers Tāmraparni and Kāverī which water the country have also been described at length. The birds, animals creepers, fruits trees, flowers, etc. have also drawn the ardent admiration of the poetess. The Colas are said to be very pious take care to refer to their designations clearly in the colophons or elsewhere ; gee e. g. Binabāyi's Dvārakānattala, and Viśvāsadevi's Gangā-vākyāvalī. 1.

·INTRODUCTION 43 and the Brāhmaṇas versed in the Šāstras, particularly in ritualistic literature and the proper performance of sacrifices. The second canto is devoted to the description of the capital of the country of the Colas, Tanjore (291-7127), the abode of Lakşmi and beautiful damsels. Its mountains, mighty elephants, encircling sea, beautiful lotuses, jewelled houses, sprightly horses digging out the earth with their hoofst, the harlots, high buildings, etc. have been graphically described by the poetess. The king is praised as a worthy and pious ruler ; finally, the people of the country too are eulogised as virtuous. She has a special word of praise for the fair sex". She also dwells on the prosperity of the people and the sovereignty of the ruler. In the third canto the personal charms as well as many-fold virtues of the king such as valour, learning, philanthrophy and so on are described. Thus powerful kings are represented as recognising the king's suzerainty and soliciting his help. Again, he is said to have encouraged female education in his famiiy as well as outside. 1.

Our poetess seems enamoured of the personal charms of the king as she returns to the same topic on many occasions throughout. The beginning of the fifth canto is devoted to the same topics and the rest to the description of his court which was adorned with royal visitors from Kerala", Anga®, Magadha, Mālava, Kalinga", Gauda, Aratta®, and other parts of India and with great philosophers, grammarians, poets, singers and dancing women trained by the king himself bhadrāmbā, may other poetesses of whom Madhuravāņi was one.

He also invented a new instrument in which any Rāga could be played.

As is natural, the major portion of the Canto is devoted to the pre-birth and after-birth ceremonies performed with eclat for the well-being of Raghunātba. Raghunātha was so called after the name of Vişnu through whose grace the parents had him. The seventh canto begins with a description of the physical charms of the young prince Raghunātha.

·INTRODUCTION 47 described. When the Mahomedanst invaded Karnāta (Vijayanagara), Venkatadeva Rāya, it is said, sought for the help of King Raghunātha whom the old father would not let go but for the insistent persuasion of Venkatarāya. On his way to Penugonda, capital of Karnāta, he passed through Candragiripurī. The Murasas at Ballālapura put up some resistance; other enemies fled pellmell. Raghunātha won the battle. Then he came to the rescue of Kyşnapa Nayaka, of Tundira or Tonda-mandala, at that time imprisoned by Venkatadevarāya. Out of gratitude Krşņapa gave his sister in marriage with Raghunātha, The eighth canto describes the extension of material help by Raghunatha to the Brāhmaṇas tortured by Colaga* ; to the king of NepālaⓇ against the Paran- 1. Pārasika rulers of Bijapur and Golkonda. 2. Near Belgola, not far from Seringa patam.

Afraid of Raghunātha, Colage (Solaga) sought for the help of Krsnapa, brother-in-law of Raghunātha, who willingly assisted him quite against the advice of his ministers. Colaga, though at first secure in an island, was, however, subsequently vanquished and imprisoned by Raghunātha. Krşnapa fled away like a coward. In the ninth canto the king of Nepāla (island Jaffna ?) is found approaching Raghunātha for reminding him of his promise for help. Raghunātha totally vanquished the Parangis or the Portuguese and replaced the king of Nepāla in his former position. Then he proceeded to vanquish the rebellious kings of the western countries such as Pāndya, Tundīra, etc, and met them at Topūr* on the bank of the Tānıraparnī (locally called Tambaravari) 1.

Jaggarāja, the former usurper of the throne of Karņāta, died in the battle-field. Rāvilla Venka, Mākarāja Rāya, Dalavāy Ceñca? and ſākabhūru all fled from the battle-field. The captured king of the Pandyas was out of compassion released by Raghunātha. Krsnapa, king of Tuņdira, again, began to create troubles. Raghunātha's armies marched against him while he himself remained at Tiruvaiyār. The army captured Bhuvanagiri and other fortresses and defeated Krsnapa who was imprisoned by Raghunāthaa. The next canto begins with a description of Tanjore (Tañjāpura) decorated for the reception of victorious king Raghunātha. Women took a leading part in merry-making. It is said that they again made a grand display of their special proficiency in arts by composing all sorts of verses, explaining learned articles and treatises in various languages, filling up the elliptical feet and composing at ease verses in eight languages and interpreting the compositions of famous poets and dramatists, solving Anicut. He describes himself as "चोल-धरामण्डल-निखिल-भोगfawa-fardiace" in his Bhārata-sāra-samgraha, Mss. 8676 and 8677 of Tanjore. 1. His name is also found in the Raghunāthābhyudaya of Vijayarāghaya Nāyaka, 2.

They entertained the king with music and dance. Again, they are also eulogised as good cooks. They composed also a a large number of panegyrics in various languages, particularly on his conquests. Thus this canto is exclusively devoted to the description of the women of Tanjore including the members of the royal and noble families. In the twelfth and last canto of the Raghunāthābhyudaya too the poetess describes the women of Tanjore, specially, their proficiency in music and dancing. They sang songs in Jayamangala, Simhalalilā and such other Rāgas and played the tālas called Ratilīlā, Turangalīlā, Rangābharaṇa, Anangaparikramana, etc. They also danced, among others, particular dance called Raghunātha-vilāsa named after the king. The work closes with a specially happy picture of the enjoying king. The Raghunāthābhyudaya is important from two points of view :- 1. As a historical document of Tanjore at Raghunātha's time and the personal achievements of Raghunātha as well as his ancestors.

That she was an expert in the arts of music, dance, cooking, etc., is evident from the vivid, though technical, descriptions of these in the work, particularly in its last two cantos. In the work women play a prominent part indeed. Whereas the last two cantos are exclusively devoted to their eulogy and show them in their loveliest colour, the first six cantos also depict them truly well. The remaining cantos are concerned with warfare and struggle in which also women figure prominently. The poetess compares the hero throughout the book with Rāma of the Rāmāyaṇa.

Blessed are the persons who cherish Raghunātha, like Rāmacandra, in their hearts -says the poetess. But she has not cared to keep up the high ideal of Rāma's life, viz., sincere and pure love for Sītā and aversion to any other The short Introduction to the printed edition of the book contains in bare outlines only the contents of the book. In it nothing has been said about the metrical and the rhetorical excellence of the work. The book is however, very rich from the metrical point of view and therefore, a list of all the metres employed is appended (see Appendix II). The major portion of the work is composed is इन्द्रवजा, उपेन्द्रवजा or उपजाति। À large number of verses is composed in Chifrati There are some verses in पञ्चचामर, प्रबोधिता and मञ्जु भाषिणी metres that are not commonly used. This work, no doubt rich in rhetorical embellishments, suffers from one great defect---the language is rather 1. Canto vi.

The summary of the Rāmāyaṇa” in the same canto seems rather un called for though, probably, it was inserted for the pleasure of Raghunātha who was very much devoted to Rāmacandra and himself wrote the Andhra-Rāmāyaṇas. 6. Tirumalamba. Tirumalāmbā flourished in the first half of the sixteenth century A. D. The Kalahasti Inscription, No. 157 of Epigraphic Reports of 1924, records that Acyutarāya was crowned King in 1529. He reigned till 1542. As the present work desribes Acyutadeva as a king, it must have been composed between 1529 and 1542. During her student-life as well, Tirumalāmbā appears to have composed verses as one of them is preserved in an inscription of the Vitthala temple at Hampe, commemorating the gift of Suvarna-meru or a mountainous heap of gold by king Acyutarāya*. The inscription 99 13 99 79 vv. 41-42; gtaGFqMHT | v. 34; fagi vy. 53, 56 and 59 ; fedrei 1. Vy. 18-29. 2. Vy, 43ff. 3. Unfortunately this Rāmāyaṇa is no more extant. He is the reputed author of several Telugu works but only one of them, viz., the Vālmiki-carita is preserved in Tanjore MSS. Library. 4. Epigraphic Reports, No. 9 of 1904.

·56 INTRODUCTION records her name as Oduva Turumalāmbā or Student Tirumalāmbā. Although we have no direct evidence at hand to prove conclusively the identity of the two Tirumalāmbās, yet it may, with a fair amount of certainty, be assumed that they are the same. In the long colophon at the end? she does not refer to herself as a queen as is usually done by Queen authoresses, but only speaks of herself as very dear (प्रेमसर्वख) to the King and his confidante (विश्वासमू). So from this colophon it is not clear whether she was a court-lady, or an intimate friend of the king, or one of his queens, these two epithets being applicable equally to either. That she was not the chief queen is in any case clear from her own writing where she refers to Varadāmbikā as such. This is supported by other important works like the Acyutarāyābhyudaya of Rājanātha Dimdimakavi“. In such works, however, we get no reference to Tirumalāmbā. Nowhere in the body of the Varadāmbikā-pariņaya- 1. See the next foot note. 2. The editor of the printed edition thinks that “the phrase राजाधिराजाच्युतराय-प्रेमसवैखविश्वासभुवा Shows that she was a queen of the Emperor.” We do not see why this phrase should refer to a queen only, and not any one else. In fact, a queen or any other lady may be designated by these epithets. So nothing can be inferred definitely on the evidence of this phrase alone as the editor thinks. 3.

·INTRODUCTION 57 campū also is there any reference to Tirumalāmbā, either as a queen or otherwise. Therefore, it is rather difficult to determine her exact status from her own work or other standard Historical works. In the colophon to the work Tirumalāmbā speaks of herself as a versatile genius--a musician, grammarian rhetorician, writer, connoisseur of various arts, linguistand a patron of scholars and poets. She was religiouslyminded,-making rich offerings to priests and various religious institutions. She asserts that she enjoyed the full confidence of the king and seems to be rather proud of the factl. 1.

·58 INTRODUCTION The work that such a cultured lady has produced is indeed a very good specimen of the campū-kāvya. It is important historically as well as topographically. The work is also charming from the poetical point of view. The pedigree of Acyutadevarāya given in the Varadāmbikā-pariņaya-campū is historically correct.

He conquered all the neighbouring countries including Cola. About the Cola king it is stated in the Varadāmbikā-pariņaya that he was taken as a prisoner but subsequently he managed to escape to the sea-coast. But there is a different version that Narasa killed the Cola. Again, the statement in the present work that the sovereign of Madura submitted to him without fight is not borne out by the evidence of the Acyutarāyābhyudaya of Rājanāthaº. Then he conquered the ruler of Seringapatam, captured the forts of Dumakur and Tarasangi and the Sultan, perhaps Yusuf Adil Shah of Haiderabad. Narasimha restored his country to the Sultan after his submission. Narasa married Obamāmbā, daughter of Rucirāja and Srīrāmāmbikā.

Acyuta ascended the throne when he was quite grown-up. He married Varadāmbikā, younger sister of his Ministers both called Tirumalarāja. They had, after a considerable time, a son called Cina-Venkatādri. Satisfied with the learning and achievements of his son, Acyutaraya installed him as the Heir Apparent. This book ends with prayer to Venkatādri (Tirupati) for the long life and all-round happiness of Acyuta, Varadāmbikā and Cinavenkatādri. With womanly sympathy our poetess goes to the extent of giving a vivid description, whether real or fictitious, of the first meeting between the lovers, the consequent pangs suffered by both of them, etc. Having described the conquests of Narasimha, she unlocks her heart and tenderly delineates beautiful pictures of a devoted wife (Varadāmbikā) and mother in succession. The descriptions of Vijayanagara?, Tonda-mandala (Tuņdira-deśa), Cola, the river Kāveri, Adam's bridge", Seringapattam (Śrīranga-pattaņa) represent vividly the topography of Southern India of the sixteenth century A.D. 1.

·INTRODUCTION 61 The Varadāmbikā-pariņaya-campū is full of long compounds running over many lines in print, even pages at times and as such, outstandingly represents the Quality called Ojas?. But sweetness and simplicity are not altogether wanting ; for example, we have simple and charming descriptions of the royal bridegroom Acyuta bringing his bride to his own palace, the advent of the spring, etc.3 . 1. Dandin's Kavyadarsa, I- ओजः समासभूयस्तमेतद् गद्यस्य जीवितम् । 2. प्रविश्य तस्मिन् प्रमना पाल- स्वां राजकन्यां विधिनोपयम्य । श्रियं पयोधेरिव शेषशायी समानयत्तां सदनं स्वकीयम् ॥ V. 127 The king now enjoys himself in her company :- पट्टाभिषेकमहिषोपदमप्यमुष्य दत्त्वाऽधिकप्रणयदर्शित-कौतुकौः । क्षीणोपतिः सह तयाऽन्वभवत् समस्तान् विख्यातराग-सुभगान् विषयोपभोगान् ॥ V. 128 3. At the advent of the spring, everybody is gay, none the less the youthful ladies : आराम-कामास्त्र-निकेतनेऽस्मिन् अस्मासु सर्वायुध-हारिणीषु । च ताङ्गरं तस्य पिकाः प्रियास्त्र चञ्चौ निधायेव ससुच्चलन्ति ॥ V. 139 and eversomore the Queen- एवंविधैर्नम-वचोविलासः सखी-जनस्य श्रवणातिथेयैः ॥ अज्ञात-पुष्यावचय-प्रयासा देवी तदा कम्र-गतैरचारीत्॥v.140 And so on (see vv. 166, 157, etc.) :- ·62 INTRODUCTION The high-soaring poetic imagination of Tirumalām bā makes a lasting impression. Grand indeed is the description of the evening :- The setting sun is nothing but a ruby-lid which being removed by the childish moon from the top of the sky. vessel, dense darkness sets in अरविन्द-बन्धु-कुरुविन्द-पिधाने चपलेन बाल-शशिना व्यपनौते। घुसृणं वियन्मघव-नौल- -करण्डाद्- गलितं यथा घनमदृश्यत सन्धा॥V. 158 Again, the sun behaves like a chamberlain of Lord Nārāyaṇa who makes Lakşmi (beauty) leave her lotushome and accompany him for the region of Vişnu lying on the Ocean Kşiroda :- सागरोदर-शयस्य मुरारेः कञ्चुकोव विलसत्कर-दण्डः । इन्दिरां दुद्यमणिरम्बज-गेहादात्मनैव सह नूनमनेषीत् ॥ V. 169 Thus it cannot be denied that though her style is usually heavy, long compounds retarding its easy flowyet at times we get indeed fine imageries couched in beautiful language. 1. Pp. 170-173. 2. P. 173. 3. The idea is :-Lakşmi has to leave her paternal residence as it were for the house of her Lord Nārāyaṇa in the company of his chamberlain, the sun; in other words, the lotuses fade away as soon as the sun sets.

·INTRODUCTION 63 The work is rich in rhetorical embellishments. It furnishes good examples of anuprāsa and yamaka ; and of arthāntara-nyāsa, parisamkhyāna, virodha, śleşa, sahokti, svabhāvokti, etc. Here similes and metaphors are apt, novel and striking. Tirumalāmbā uses, among others, the following metres : Drutavilarnbita, rathoddhatā, sālini, svāgatā, aupacchandasika, vaņśastha, kalahaņsa, mañjābhāşiņi, praharşiņā, prthvi, narkutaka mālinā, śikhariņi, viyogini and hariņaplutā. From the accounts given above it is seen that Queen Gangādevi and Queen Lakşmī, Madhuravānī, Tirumalāmbā, and Rāmabhadrāmbā, i.e. all the poetesses dealt with above except Devakumārikā flourished in the south. The credit for fostering the poetic talents of these gifted ladies goes mostly to the Vijayanagara emperors and the Nāyaka Bhūpas of Tanjore. Whereas Lakşmi Rājñī is a modern poetess, Gangādevi is the oldest of them all. Madhuravāni and Rāmabhadrāmbā flourishing in the court of the same patron Raghunatha are contemporaries. Tirumalāmbā who flourished in the court of Acyutarāya, brother-in-law of the father of Raghunātha Bhūpa, was a senior contemporary, if a contemporary at all, of Rāmabadrāmbā and Madhuravānī.

He dictated that all the atelfegis must leave aside their houses on the plains of Mewar and live with him in the hills.

His son muafa'y was to be sent at his 12th year to the court of Jehangir to pay him homage on his behalf.

It is of interest to note that some texts place the वाज-पेय above the try and advocate for it the paramount lordship, while by the latter mere kingship is conferred. But other texts take the बाज-पेय to confer paramount lordship and the राज-सूय universal sovereignty, like that of वरुण ; Tait Brah, II, 73 SataBrah, V. I. However, there are reasons to believe that the वाजपेय was performed by the king before the राज सूय and by the ब्राह्मण before the बृहस्पति-सव ; AsvSS., ix. 9. 19.
