Rākṣasakāvya

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit

Title: Rākṣasakāvya

In 20 verses with ṭīkā.

The Ms. begins with v.2, and does not mention the author's name at the end.

Text and commentary are identical with those printed in Hoefer's Sanskrit-Lesebuch from the Berlin Ms. no.580, where the author is called Ravideva of Malayadeśa. The text (beginning: kaścidvanaṃ bahuvanaṃ vicaran vayastho ॰), without the author's name, is also given in Jīvānanda Vidyāsāgara's Kāvyasangraha, p. 572 (21 ślokas, the 6th of which is wanting in this Ms.)

Explicit: the commentary ends: tairyānamārūhya athānantaraṃ purūṣaḥ svagehaṃ gṛhaṃ samprayayau samprayātavānityarthaḥ |20|| iti śrīrākṣasakāvyaṭīkā samāptā|| f. 11r
"the text ends: etāvaduktavacanaṃ sumanāḥ sa uktvā rantvā dinaṃ saha tayā priyayā hyadīnaḥ| yuktaṃ caturbhiranaḍudbhiradīnavāḍbhir ārūhya yānamatha samprayayau svagehaṃ||20|| f. 11r "
