Dr. E. HULTZSCH REVIEWS IN THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY BOMBAY;TIIE GADYACHINTANANI OP VADIBH ASIMHA, by T. S. KUPPUSWAMI SASTRI and S. SUBRAMANYA SASTRI, Madras, 1902. (Sarasvativilosa Series, No. 1.)
This is the citio princeps of a romance in Sanskrit prose, which resembles in style the Kailanbari of Bana. The first of the two editors is lavourably known to students of Sanskrit literature by his valuable article on Ramabhadra Dikshita and his contemporaries (printed in the Karyamala as a preface to the Patanjalicharita.) He is one of the small band of native scholars who coinbine a Pandit's erudition with a koen appreciation of modern Oriental research.
Odaya deva, surnamed Vådibhasimha, ihe author of the Gadyachintamani, was a Southern Digambara and the pupil of Pushpasēna. IIe also composed a pocm entitled Kshatrachvlanari, the beginning of which was printed at Bangalore a few years ago in an--unfortunately cxtinct--magazine of Jaina works. Both the Gadyachintamani and the Kshatrachudamani have for their subject the legend of Jivaka or Jiyaindharą and soom to be based on the Jivamdharapurana.
