under a king Chanakya Chandra who probably was a vassal
of King Lakṣmaṇasena. But the solitary work of this poet
on which we can lay our hands at present is a Pras'asti
viz. the Deopara Inscription of Vijayasena'. We have reference
also to one Umapati Upadhyaya who wrote the Pārijātaharaṇa
under King Hariharadeva Hindupati. He is called Umapati
dhara Upadhyaya by R.L. Mitra and identified with Umäpati-
dhara of the court of Lakṣmaṇasena. But the colophon of the
book gives the name as Umapati and not Umapatidhara³ and
when we find reference, in the Catalogus Catalogorum to
several poets of the name of Umapati we do not understand
what led Dr. Mitra to suggest the identity of this particular
Umāpati with the court-poet of Lakṣmaṇasena.
In the Saduktikarṇāmrta we meet with verses attribu-
ted to S'arana, S'araṇadeva and Chirantana-S'arana. We find
mention of a Mantrarāmāyanatika in the Catalogus
Catalogorum by one S'araṇakavi. Mr. S. C. Chakravarti
however identifies Sarana with S'araṇadeva-the author
of Durghalavril. But no strong case seems to have been
made out in favour of this particular identification. In fact,
in the present circumstances, it does not seem to be possible
satisfactorily identify S'araṇa-the court-poet
to
Lakṣmaṇasena.
