VAJJALAGGAM
Alamkāra works like the Dhyanyāloka (Dhy.) of Anandavardhana, the Dhvanyālokalocana (Dhvl.) of Abhinavagupta, the Sarasvati. kanthābharaṇa (SkBh) and the Śrmgāraprakāśa (SrP) of Bhoja, the Dasarūpaka (DR) of Dhanañjaya, the Kāvyaprakāśa (KP) of Mammața, the Kavyānuśāsana of Hemacar.dra (KH), the Alamkāraratnākara (AR) of Sobhākara, the Alamkārasarvasva (AS) of Ruyyaka, the Sahityadarpaņa (SD) of Viśvanātha and the Kävyānusāsana of Vāgbhata (KV). But in none of these thetorical works are the stanzas designated as having been quoted from the VL. In a good many cases the stanzas are also found in one or another of the various recensions of the Gathāsaptaśatī. (GSS) of Häla and hence it is difficult to say whether they have been quoted from the VL or from the Gathāsaptaśati or from some other work,
Below is given a list of 46 stanzas from the Vajjālagga (VL) found quoted in one or more of the Alamkāra-works mentioned above :
