INTRODUCTION.
a
E consider it a high privilege to pay our
respectful homage in this foreword to the
illustrious author of this work which it is
the good fortune of the Sri Vani Vilas Press
to give out to the world. The poem of Varadaraja-
stava has been well known to the Sanskrit world for
a long time. The author appears to have had a great
partiality for the work and held it as a favourite.
He quotes several slokas from this poem in his
Kuvalayananda to illustrate some Alamkaras. In
his enumeration of his principal works, he makes
prominent mention of the Varadarajastava, short as
it is. The reference to the poern as 'the description
of the celestial figure of Varadaraja of Kanchi
'कांची वरदराजस्य दिव्यविग्रहवर्णनम्' is indicative of
the poet's high appreciation. Mention is made of
the author's commentary also in the next line
'व्यारव्या तस्य च संक्लृप्ता नातिसंक्षेपविस्तरा' A commen-
tary has also been written therefor which is neither
too short nor too long.' It is very seldom that we
have a commentary written by the Poet himself.
