known among his Yamaka Kāvyass. The present work,
Tripuradahana, is also an eminent example of Bhattatiri's
skill in this special field of Yamaka. Tripuradahana
contains three Asrāsas and 194 stanzas mostly in Arya
metre.
Yamaka kavya is a hard nut to crack and so the
commentary of such a work is of especial value. The com-
mentary Hrdayagrahini published here for the first time
is by Anavattu Pankajäksa Pişāroti The name of the
$ Vasu Battatiri's known Yamaka works are :-
(1) Yudhishtiravijaya ( 2 ) Tripuradahana (3) Saurikatha
and (4) Nalodaya. But Vatakkumkur Raja Raja Varma
says that Nalodaya is the work of Ravi Bhattatiri the father
of Vasu Bhattatiri (Keraliya Samskrta Sahitya Caritam 1;
p. 161 ). But in an old commentary of Nalodaya entitled
Kavihrdayadarpana by Srikantha, mention is made of Vasu-
deva as the author.
'अथ श्रीमान् महाकविमद्देश्वरी वासुदेवनामा वासुदेवानुस्मरणपूर्वकं प्रणि
गोषित प्रबन्धप्रतिबन्धकृन्तनाय प्रथमविधेयप्रतिष्ठात्मिकां नमस्क्रियां तावदनुतिष्ठति ॥
' इति श्रीकण्ठाचार्यपुत्रेण श्रीकण्ठेन कृते नलोदयव्याख्याने कविहृदयदर्पणाख्य

Ms. No. 1021 of University Manuscripts Library. In this
connection it may also be pointed out that in the colphons of
several commentaries of Nalodaya available in our Library
and in the Madras Mss. Library, Nalodaya is attributed to
Kalidasa.
Vasudeva's work on grammar is Vasudevavijaya in five
sargas.
Vasu Bhattatiri belonged to Pattattu Illom at Peruvanam
some eight miles South of Trichur. In Yudhishthiravijaya he
says:-
तस्य च बसुधामवतः काले कुलशेखरस्य वसुधामवत: ।
वेदानामध्यायी भारतगुरुरभवदाधनामध्यायी ॥
समञ्जनि कश्चित् तस्य प्रवणः शिष्योऽनुवर्तकवितस्व
काण्यानामालोके पटुमनलो वासुदेवनामा लोके ॥
