ANTHOLOGY STANZAS ATTRIBUTED TO
MAYURA
INTRODUCTION
The stanzas attributed to Mayūra, both in the published and
also in the unpublished anthologies, have been listed by Thomas
in his recent edition of the Kavindravacanasamuccaya.¹ They
are seventeen in number, not counting citations from the Sürya-
śataka, and of these seventeen, sixteen are found in anthologies
that have been already published. The exception is a stanza in
Jalhana's Saktimuktāvali (1247-1260 A.D.), an anthology as
yet unedited. I have not been able to secure a copy of this verse,
but from its opening words, sabhiprāyam praṇayasarasam (quoted
by Thomas, op. cit., p. 67), it appears to have been composed in
the mandäkräntä meter.
Of the sixteen published stanzas, some are quoted here from
the Subhasitavali (after 1469 A.D.) of Vallabhadeva, others
from the Paddhati (1363 A.D.) of Sārngadhara, and still others
from the Saduktikarnāmṛta (1205 A.D.) of Sridhara Dāsa.³
The other anthologies which also cite some of these stanzas of
Mayūra are, as listed by Thomas (loc. cit.), the Padyavali of
Rūpagosvämin* (reported published in Calcutta)," and the follow-
ing, which are as yet unpublished: the Padyamṛtatarangini of
Haribhāskara, the Sarasamgraha of Sambhudāsa, and the Su-
bhasitaratnakośa of Bhaṭṭa Srikṛṣṇa.Ⓡ
