THE prose-poetry genre of Sanskrit Literature called Campu
is thus described as a delightful honey-grape mixture by the
famous latter-day scholar and poet Sri Venkaṭādhvarin, himself
the author of the Viśvaguṇādarśa-one of the most popular
Campus. This description may perhaps be considered particularly
felicitous and significant, without the least need for reservation,
as applied to the Nilakaṇṭhavijaya, among the numerous Campus
preserved in Sanskrit Literature. Though the Sanskrit scholars
of South India are fairly familiar with this brilliant and beautiful
Campū through an old edition of the work in Grantha script,
which has long been out of print, yet for want of a good
Devanagari edition the majority of Sanskrit scholars in North
India and elsewhere could not find easy access to this work. The
proprietor of the Balamanōrama Press at No. 8, Madhavaperumal
Koil Street, Mylapore, Madras, has now satisfactorily supplied
this long-felt want by bringing out for the first time this
Devanagari edition of the Nīlakaṇṭhavijaya, with the help of the
manuscripts described below:-
