THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY
APRIL, 1918
the latter. Unfortunately for him, he was overcome by foņâdri and lost his title and distinctions. The Sultan then decorated him with the distinguishing appellation of " Vidyâdindima Soņaśnila Kavi " and detained him for some time with himself. On one occasion Arunagiri so pleased the Sultan with his poetic talent that the latter conferred upon him the title of Dindima-sârvabhauma-kavi.' Arunagiri rendered the story of Rama into a kávya and a nataka and wrote also several works on édstras. Having thus distinguished himself in the court of the Sultan and having pleased him, Arunagiri got a note of the Sultan ordering Praudhadêvarêya to grant the queen's garden near Puttûr to Arunagiri (1). Praudhadevaraya, it is said, quietly gave away to Arunagiri the garden belonging to his queen. Arunagiri then ordered an agrahara to be built there on the bank of the river Kutila ; in the middle of which was constructed a temple for Siva under the name of Sabhâpati and on the south-east corner another for Vishņu. This new village received five different names, namely, Praudhadêvarayapuram, Sárvabhaumapuram, Dindimalayam, Trimandalam and Mûlândam.
Though Dindimakavisârvabhauma often caused panic in the minds of great poets, he never interfered with the lesser ones.
