Art. IX.—The Jānakīharaṇa of Kumāradāsa.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
Extract
The history of this little-known work is remarkable. No manuscript of it has yet been discovered, and on the continent of India the only traces of its existence consist in the facts that a few of its verses are quoted in two Sanskrit anthologies, the Çārṅgadharapaddhati and the Subhāṣitāvalī, and in the Aucityavicāracarcā of Kṣemendra, and that the author is coupled with Kālidāsa in a memorial verse of Rājaçekhara—
Jānakīharaṇaṃ kartuṃ Raghuvaṃçe sthite sati
kaviḥ Kumāradāsaç ca Rāvaṇaç ca yadi kṣamaḥ.
