the name of the author of the lost Tarangavati Kathā. It appears in a newly Sanskritized form as Sripālita in Abhinanda's Rāmaccrita, xxii, 100; see also Upadhye, op. cit., Inro
duction, p. 55. 15. See Upadhye, op. cit., pp. 47, 54-55. 16. Kathāsaritasāgara, VIII. 37. Sātavāhana is said to have com
posed the Kathāpitha with the help of Guņādhya's pupils,
Guņadeva and Nandideva. See also Raghavan, op. cit., p. 854. 17. Defināmamālā, edited by R. Pischel, second edition by P. V.
Ramanujaswami, Introduction I, p. 12–14. Ramanujaswami says that from Hemacandra's references to Sātavāhana in his Defināmanālā, he could not gather definite evidence for saying that Sātavāhana had composed a Deśi Kośa. But what Hemacandra has given under Sātavāhana's name are clearly quotations, and each one gives a Sanskrit meaning-equivalent for a Deśya word. These facts leave no doubt about the existence of a Deśya lexicon of Sātavāhana. Ramanujaswami observes that Hemacandra has quoted Satavāhana seven times.
