________________ 30 PAUMACARIU poetry, mentions' him besides Caturmukha, Harsa and Bāņa and speaks reverently of him as a great Acārya surrounded by thousands of friends and relatives Harişeņa in his Dhammaparikkhā (A.D 987) raises Svayambhū to the pedestal of a god and praises his knowledge of mundane and supramundane narratives. Kanakāmara, the author of Karakanducariu (11th century) remembers him as one possessing a comprehensive mind (visālacittu). Hemacandra (1089-1172) considers him as an important metrical authority like Bharata, Kāśyapa, Pingala, Saitava and Jayadeva and borrows several passages verbatim from the Svayambhucchandas. Several other poets and writers who refer to Svayambhū as a great poet and an authority are mentioned below: Author Work Date Nayanandi Sayalavihivihāna (in Ap.) 11th Cent. Vira' Jambūsämicariu ( „ ) 1020 A.D. Sricandra Rayaņakarandu ( 1064 A.D. Kavidarpanachandovrtti 13th Cent. Dhanapāla Bāhubalicariu (in Ap.) 1398 A.D. Simhasena alias Raïdhu" Mehesaracariu ( , ) 15th Cent. Nārāyaṇabhatta Com. on Vrttaratnākara 1544 A.D. Cintamanimiśra Vāñmayaviveka" 16th Cent. Rāghavabhatta Com. on Śākuntala Gangādāsakavi Chandomañjarī' Among the later writers, Rajasekhara Kavi appears to be the most indebted to Svayambhū. For, as pointed out earlier (pp. 4647) the Ap. section of his Chandassekhara is but a Sanskrit recast (1) Caumuhu Sayambhu Siri-Harisu Doņu. n'aloiu kai īsānu Vānu/ Mahāpurāņa 1 1 5. (2) Kairāu sayambhu mahāyariu. So sayana-sahāsahim pariyariu./Mahapurana 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 Mahậpurāna is quoted dihara-samasa-ņālam, etc., the second introductory stanza of PC. Tribuvana too gives us to understand that Svayam bhũ had numerous pupils. (3) Caumuhu kavva-virayani Savambhu vi, Pupphayantu annānu nisumbhivi/ jo sayambhu so deu pähānau, aha kaha-loyaloya-viyānau/. Kaslival, 1950, 108; Premi, 1942, 371, n. 4.
