the commentator follows not only the method of Mallinatha but
that of the other earlier commentators like Arunagirinatha.
Modern methods of research too have not been ignored. Similar
usages of the earlier writers have been presented many a time to
justify the text, to illumine a passage, or to point out some beauty
or other.
 
The verse 7.16 presents the description of the secting sun.
There is a double entendre involving the sun and the birds.
In such a context the second half offers a difficulty. The com-
mentator unravels the problem by bringing in a story from
Brahma Purana. Thereby we are led to grasp one more aspect
of the poetess. We wish to draw the attention of the readers
to the commentary on 1.4, 21, 44, 58; 2.29, 33; 3.7; 4.49; 5.50,
54, 66; 7.29, 45; and 9.30, 37.
