PREFACE.
VARAD
ARADARAJASTAVA is one of the most pre-
cious gems from the erudite pen of that most
renowned all-round scholar and poet, Sri Appaya
Dikshita. Appaya Dikshita along with Sri Vidya-
ranya and Sri Sankara Bhagavatpadacharya form
the most illustrious trio that adorn the firmament of
the Sanskrit philosophical literature. All these three
are mighty intellectual giants of whom any count-
ry and any literature might always be proud. It
has been the privilege and good fortune of Mother
India this Punyabhumi-to produce three such
brilliant stars of the first magnitude. All these
three are deservedly considered to be divine incar-
nations, Sri Sankara comes first and Dikshita last
in point of time. By the blessings of His Holi-
ness the Jagadguru of Sringeri the Sri Vani Vilas
Press had the unique honour and rare distinction
of publishing the memorial edition of the collected
works of Sri Sankaracharya. And now it has
embarked on the ambitious task of publishing the
works of Dikshita one after another and if by God's
grace all the works are finished then they will be
issued in a collected form, in uniform handy
