No. 137. PREMA SAKHI (Flourished 1734 A.D.) He was a Vaishnava of the Sakhi Sampradāya. Four works of his have been found, one of which is stylod Jānaki Rāma ko nakhasikha, another being a copy of the same without a name. The remaining 2 are collections of miscellancous vorges one of which is named as Hari Chhanda, Kavitta, Dohā, Sorațhã, Chhappaya prabandha, which is merely a descriptive name given by the scribe. The other is nameless, but the name quoted equally applies to it. For brevity the former has been shortened in the notice as Hari Chhandādi Prabandha and the nainelogs one has been given the name of Kavittādi Prabandha as it begins with a Kavitta. Prema Sakhi's works have been noticed, in no. 39 of S. R. 1900, 308 of 1906-08 and 210 of 1909-11.
No. 138. PRIYĀDĀSA composed his commentary on Bhaktaināla in Samvat 1769= 1712 A.D. (suo no. 55 of S. R. 1901). He is a famous writer and his book is very well known among the scholars.
No. 139. PRIYĀDĀSA wrote Chāhaveli or a panegyric of Rādhā, the only work yet found written by him. He is said to have been a follower of Rādhā Ballabhi saint, Hita Harivamsa. He flourished in the middle of the 19th century.
No. 140. PUHAKARA Kāyastha flourished in 1618 A.D. He lived in Pratāpapur, a village in the Mainpuri district of the United Provinces, during the reign of Jaliūngir. Ho composed a book named Rasa-ratana, which has been noticed in some previous reports (see 110. 48 of 1905 and no. 238 of 1906-8). It is extremely curious that the manuscript under notice found in the library of Bābū Purushottamadāsa, B.A., LL.B., of Allāhābād, should be exactly like the one found with Bābū Jagannātha Prasāda of Chhatarpur noticed as no. 48 of 1905. Our present manuscript purports to have been copied by one Chhedilāla Kāyastha on the 4th of the dark fortnight of Asvina
