Carita.
A word of explanation has to be said in connection with this classification. The works included under the heading Sataka do not always contain a centum of verses. In many cases they exceed 100 and in a few they are below that number; and in spite of this apparent inconsistency, the authors of the respective works have named the works as Satakas and they have been given under this heading in our classification.
In classifying the manuscripts under the heading Campukavyas, certain works, though they are in the Campn style of composition, have been taken from that place and removed to the heading “carita' since their chief aim is in portraying the history of the times and the individuals about whom they are written. Thus Colacampūḥ (No. 4213), Varadāmbikāparimayacampūḥ (No. 4220), Dharmavijayacampūḥ (No. 4291), Bhosalavamlávallcampūḥ (No. 4240) and Sarabharājavilāsaḥ (No. 4241) have been taken over to the section 'Carita”.
Popular stories like the Hitopadeśa and other works have been included under the section Katha.
The Carita includes works which ordinarily will form part of other subdivisions of the Kävyas, but they have been given a separate heading since their main purpose is to depict historical facts. The Hargacarita of Baqabbatta and the Viranåráyapacarita
