INDEX OF AUTHORS.
Krishna pandita
Called Seshakrishna. Author of the Prakritachandrika. Son and pupil of Narasinha head at the time of the 'Sesha vansa (called 'Seshanṛisinha). Krishna mentions (v. 30) that he wrote this book after his Padachandrika, a work (I. O. 903) written under the auspices of prince Narottama. He was author also of a commentary to the Prakriyâkaumndî of Ramachandra. Ulwar 1152, &c. For our author see Bhandharkar's Report, 1883-84, 59. According to Bhandarkar, Ramachandra, who was our author's nephew, lived about 1150 A. D.
Kedara bhatta
Author of the Vrittaratnakara. 3, App. p. 225. No. 869 of this Report's Collection is a copy of this work with the commentary of Sulhana (L. 157). It is stated there that Kedâra was the son of Pidhveka (sic. correct Pibveka: Aufrecht writes Pabbeka and Pavyeka) of the Kasyapa vanśa, who is described as proficient in the 'Saivaśastra (śaivasiddhântavettâ: Saivatattvâvabodhah). Aufrecht notes that our author is quoted by 'Sivarâma on Vâsavadatta, p. 185, by Mallinâtha, Oxf. 113a, by Padmanabha, Oxf. 110b, by Chitrasena, Oxf. 197b, and others.
The commentator Sulhana was the son of Bhaskara, who was the son of the good poet (sukavi) Vailâditya, a Dâkshipâtya of the Krishnâtreya gotra. Sulhana called his commentary. Sukavihṛidayânandinî, by a reference to his grandfather's biruda which perhaps shews that Vailâditya was alive when it was composed.
Kaiyata
Author of the Mahâbhâshyapradîpa. Bhimasena the author of a Kavyaprakasaṭika, says that Kaiyata, Uvata and Mammata were three sons born to Jaiyata from the "blessed womb" of his wife. 1, pp. 26 (but write "elder brothers"), and 94. Aufrecht in Catalogus Catalogorum styles this, however, a silly tradition. That Kaiyața and Mammața were brothers is believed by the Kashmir pandits. See Bühler's Kashmir Report, P. 72,
