THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
[JULY, 1904
I may add that Dr. Hoernle has for long entertained the intention of publishing a completo edition of the Gopālpur inscribed bricks, but has not yet found an opportunity of doing so. A small scale photograph of one side of one of them is given in Prof. Rhys Davids' latest book, Buddhist India (p. 123, fig. 27). The fact is also worth noting that bricks of huge dimensions were still used as late as the second century A. D.; but it is possible that they were taken from an earlier building. Bricks of sach size are commonly associated with baildings of greater antiquity.
RAMABHADRA-DIKSHITA AND THE SOUTHERN POETS OF HIS TIME,
BY T. 8. KUPPUSWAMI SASTRI ; TANJORE.
(Concluded from p. 142.) Pupils of Ramabhadra-Dikshita were also eminent scholars. They all acknowledge him as preceptor in very respectful terms in their works. They were (1) Bripiva-Dikshita, the author of the Sparasiddhantachandrika, a well-known work on Sanskrit grammar.
व्याकृतिनिर्माणवणान्प्रणमामि त्रीन्मुनीनगइन्द्यान् । गुरुमपि समष्टिमेषां वन्दे श्रीरामभद्रयज्वानम् ॥ कष्टं व्याकरणं पतञ्जलिरपि माह म तनाप्यसो दुर्शाना मतिमद्भिरप्यतितरां कष्टा स्वरप्रक्रिया । कैषा सा वमलीमसा मम मतिर्मन्दा तथाप्युत्सहे यन्मह्यं दयतेतरां निरुपधि श्रीरामभद्रो गुरुः ॥ संकृत्यन्वयसंभवाद्गुणमहाम्भोधेरनन्ताम्बया जाहव्येव पवित्रया क्षिाततले संवर्धितश्रेयसः। जातः कृष्णविपश्चितो विधुरिव प्रीणन्बुधानां मनः सन्मार्गाभिगमोज्ज्वलो विजयते स श्रीनिवासः सुधीः ॥
Svarasiddhantachandrika. (2) Venkatonvara-Kavi, the commentator on Ramabhadra-Dikshita's Patanjalicharita and the well-known author of the Uņddinighants compiled under the patronage of Sáhaji I. of Tanjore.
