[^230]. MSS. A, C & F read : Paārijātaharanṇe. MSS. B, & G read : Pārijātāpaha-
ran
raṇe. In MSS. D & E the portion is missing. This is a reference to the

Paārijaātaharaṇacampū of SeşŚeṣakṛṣṇa, who was Teacher of Bhattṭṭoji. SeṣŚeṣakṛṣṇa

wrote also a commentary on the Prakriyaākaumudiī of Raāmacandra. The com-

mentary is known as Prakriyāprakāsśa Bhattṭṭoji in his SŚabdakaustubha on 1.1.8

(p. 114; C.S.S.) refers to it thus: tad etat sakalam abhisandhāya prakriyāprakāśe

gurucaranṇair uktam etc.
 

 
[^230-aa]. In the Rāghavapāndṇḍaviīya, the word mahelā has two meanings. One
is mahati ilä
is mahatī ilā, and the other is vanitä.
 
ā.
 
[^230-b]. I had access to the Kavikalpalatā of Deveśvara, published by Asiatic

Sociey of Bengal, Calcutta. This was not available in full. First part had

the auto-commentary.
 
In the second part, the colophon at the end of the

4th & 5th section in the third chapter reads the commentary as:
 
sü
sūryakaviraājakṛtā bālabodhikā.
 

 
This Süūryakavi is said to have written the Narasimhacampuṃhacampū. See Note

177 also. The auto-commentary explains paramahelā-vilāsī thus: paresām
ṣāṃ
mahelā=stri; tasyā vilāsī; tasyā vilāsī; and paramā yā helā =līlā, tayā vilāsī,
 

Upamitibhavaprapañcā of Siddharsṣi also uses mahelaā (p. 190).

 
[^231]. See S.K. & T.B. on Unṇādisūtra 54. The T.B. quotes here:
paramahela
paramahelārato'py aparadaāradārikaḥ
 

and attributes the line to one Damayantikaīkāvya. Baālamanoramā attributes the
same line to Sriharsa
same line to Śriharṣa(?). I am unable to verify.
 

 
[^231-aa]. Except E, all MSS. read thus. Some verses attributed to Akbariīya-

kālidāsa are noted by Haradatta Sharma, in the I.H.Q., Vol. X. (p. 484 ).

This is not found there. I did not have access to the last part of the

Kavikalpalatăā. I do not know whether this verse is there. The connection of

Kavikalpalataā and Akbariyakäīyakālidāsa is also puzzling to me. I do not know

whether the author of the former was also known by that name or title.
