APPENDIX I. No. 102. KUŠALEŠA, a resident of the Āgrā district, was the great-grand-father of Sridhars Pâţhaka, the wellknown poet of Khadiboli. He wrote a book named Dāna Pachísī in the samvat year 1844=1787 A.D.
No. 103. LAKSHMAŅA, & Gauda Brāhman of Ajodhyā and follower of Rāmānuja, composed a book named Rāmaratnávalí in the Samvat year 1907=1850 A.D. Apparently ho is also the author of Hanumăn-tamāchā in which the name appears as Lakshaņa or Lakhaņa and which was copied in Samvat 1909=1852 A.D.

LALA, the author of Lāla Khyāla, the manuscript under notice, appears to be indentical with Lāla Kavi of Benāres, who flourished during the time of Rājā Cheta Simba (1770 and 1781 A.D.) of Benāres. He was the author of Rasamūla and eulogies of the Rājās of Benāres. (See nos. 113 and 114 of S.R. 1903). He was fond of alliteration, with which the manuscript under notice is replete. The latter appears to be a collection of his miscellaneous verses.

The other Varanga-charitra is the description of a nun named Varānga.
