PREFACE,
Jânakiparinaya is a Kavya written by Chakra Kavi. It
is gathered from the portions* of the verse at the end of the
sargas of this Kavya that his parents were Ambâ and Lokanâtha-
sudhi, that his son Râmachandra was well-versed in all Sâma
Veda, that he was a poetic genius even from his Upanayana
sacrament and his work was admired by Pândya and Chera
kings and also by Nilakantha Adhvari and that he wrote two
other Kâvyas named, Rukminiparinaya and Pârvatîparinaya.
Chitraratnâkara, a work dealing with Sabdálankâra contains
the following verse.
रुक्मिणीजानकीगौरी द्रौपदी परिणीतयः ।
कृतयो यस्य तस्यैषा कृतिश्चक्रकवेः शुभा ॥"
which shows that he has also written two more works, namely,
Chitraratnâkara and Draupadiparinaya. It is probable that Nila-
kantha Adhvari referred to in this work is the same as the famous
Nilakantha Dikshita, the anthor of Sivalilárnava, Nilakantha-
vijaya and other works. Hence the author, Chakrakavi may be
a contemporary of Nîlakantha Dikshita who lived in the first
half of the 17th century A. D.
* 'यं सूनुं जनयाम्बभूव महितः श्रीलोकनाथः सुधीः ख्यातं चक्रकविं सतीसमुदयैः
सम्मानिताम्बाभिधा ।
'यत्पुत्रो भुवि वेत्ति सामनिगमं श्रीरामचन्द्रोऽखिलम्' (८ सर्गः )
'सावित्र्या सममेव यं श्रितवती वाग्देवता सादरम्' (३ सर्गः )
'पाण्ड्यमहीभुजा बहुमते नव्ये तदीये महाकाव्ये' (२. सर्गः )
'चेरावनीवासवश्लाघासीमनि' (४ सर्गः )
'श्रीनीलकण्ठाध्वरिश्लाघासीमनि ( ६ सर्गः )
'रुक्मिणीपरिणयभ्रातरि' (५ सर्गः )
'पार्वतीपरिणयभ्रातरि' (७ सर्ग:)
