of this work from this library. 2. S. K. De--Sanskrit Poetics, Vol. I. p. 297. As regards the authorship and the work he remarks:-- " The author, a Guzerat Brahman, was the son of Nāhanabhai and a native of Rāner. The work deals with poetic figures alone, and the illustrations sing the glory of the Peshwa Madhavarao I and his uncle Raghunathrao. The author, therefore, belongs to the third and fourth quarters of the I8th century.” ___ For further particulars cf. R. G. Bhandarkar's Report 1887-9I. p. lxiii. No. 519 of 1884-87 is included in this report through mistake.
