Introduction
In fact, see the very first verse of the S.K.U. which
reads thus :
samsāramarusamcaratṛṣitānām
śarīriņām,
sudhākādambinibhūtam tan mahas samupāsmahe.
xiii
Compare this with what Deveśvara has in the
following:
samsāramarusamcarasamudbh utaprabh utakhedānām
tāpatrayātapataptānām asmākam akasmad ajani
sudhākādambinikadambasambandhaḥ.
(K.K.L., 1923; p. 139)
It seems clear from these that our author had
received effective inspiration from Deveśvara. S.K.U.
also quotes the line
gaja iva paramahelāvilāsi
(Ibid. p. 92)
with the words iti Kavikalpalatayām (See S.K.U. p. 60).
Deveśvara was assigned to the beginning of the
14th century. (See S. K. De's History of Sanskrit
Poetics, p. 260). Our author quotes (see p. 46)
a verse from one Narasimhacampu, which was perhaps
the same as the one attributed to Suryakavi,
who wrote the commentary Balabodhikä on the
Kavikalpalata. (See S. K. De; Ibid. p. 262). From
this we need not take that our author came soon
after Deveśvara or Suryakavi. He seems to be much
later for the following reasons.
In verse 12, he declares namulam likhyate kimcit
(which is on the model of Mallinātha). In keeping
with this declaration, we notice, all the comments
that he makes are made on the authority of many
standard works like the Sabdakaustubha of Bhaṭṭoji,
