Kās'yapa Gotra. The second view that Dhoyi was a Vaidya
is based on the supposed identity of Dhoyi with Duhisena
or Dhuyisena mentioned in Vaidya genealogical works. *
No conclusion, also, as regards his caste can possibly be
arrived at from his title of Kaviraja as this cannot be supposed
to have been associated invariably with the names of Vaidyas
even in Bengal. For even Jayadeva who is usually regarded
to have been a Bengali Brahmin is referred to with that
title. Thus the question concerning the caste of Dhoyi must
remain open until some new and definite information about it
is brought to light.
Works of Dhoyi-
Only one work of Dhoyi has so far come down to us. It
is his Pavanaduta.. We do not know if he composed other
works as well or it was only this solitary work which earned
for him the enviable tile of Kaviraja. It is true that a few
stray verses pot found in the Pavanalūta are attributed to
Dhoyi in works of anthology. The number of these verses
already known is twenty and they have all been collected in
one place. In the present book they appear in the form
of a supplementary note that follows the introduction.
