30 PAUMACARIU poetry, mentions' him besides Caturmukha, Harșa and Bāna and speaks reverently of him as a great Acārya surrounded by thou- sands of friends and relatives' Harişena in his Dhammaparikkhā” (A.D 987) raises Svayambhū to the pedestal of a god and praises his knowledge of mundane and supramundane narratives. Kanakamara, the author of Karakanducariu (11th century) remembers him as one possessing a comprehensive mind (visāla- cittu). Hemacandra (1089-1172) considers him as an important metrical authority like Bharata, Kāśyapa, Pingala, Saitava, and Jaya- deva and borrows several passages verbatim from the Svayambhū- cchandas. Several other poets and writers who refer to Svayambhū as a great poet and an authority are mentioned below: Author Work Date Nayanandi Sayalavihivihāņa (in Ap.) 11th Cent. Vira' Jambūsāmicariu 1020 A.D. Sricandra Rayaņakarandu ( 1064 A.D. Kavidarpaņachandovſtti" 13th Cent. Dhanapāla" Bahubalicariu (in Ap.) 1398 A.D. Simhasena alias Raidhu" Mehesaracariu ( 15th Cent. Nārāyaṇabhatta Com. on Vịttaratnākara" 1544 A.D. Cintamanimiśra Vanmayaviveka" 16th Cent. Rāghavabhatta Com. on Sakuntala Gangadāsakavi Chandomañjari" Among the later writers, Rājasekhara Kavi appears to be the most indebted to Svayambhū. For, as pointed out earlier (pp. 46- 47) the Ap. section of his Chandaśśekhara is but a Sanskrit recast 91 (1) Caumuhu Sayambhu Siri-Harisu Donu. n'aloiu kai Isānu Vānu/ Mahapurana 1 1 5. (2) Kairău sayambhu mahảyariu. so sayana-sahāsahim pariyariu./Mahāpurana 69 1 7. Is this an echo of Svayambhu's own words kai atthi aneya bheya-bhariya je suyana-sahāsehim-ayariya/ (PC. 23 1 5)? In the gloss on the word Sayambhu in the above line cited from the Mahõpuräna is quoted dihara-samasa-nålar, etc., the second introduc- tory stanza of PC. Tribuvana too gives us to understand that Svayam- bhứ had numerous pupils. (3) Caumuhu kavva-virayani Savambhu vi, Pupphayantu annānu nisumbhivi/ jo sayambhu so deu pāhānau, aha kaha-loyaloya-viyānau/. Kaslival, 1950, 108; Premi, 1942, 371, n. 4.
