References to Rādhā,' Krishna in Art, Bulletin of Museums and Archaeology in U. P. Nos. 21-24, 1978-79, published in 1980, pp. 83-84. R.C. Agrawala has referred to (1) Two terracotta plaques from the Rangamahal temple in Rajasthan, depicting the Govardhanadharana and Dānalılā scenes, and to (2) two Mandor pillars depicting Govardhanadharaṇa and several other Bāla-lilā scenes. See his paper ‘Krşņa-Lilā Scenes in Early Rājasthani Sculptures', Krishna in Art, pp. 27-31. In the same volume Doris Srinivasan has sketched the development of Kșşņa-Lilā scenes in early art with relevant bibliographic references. See her paper 'Early Kļņșa Icons : the case of Mathura', pp. 1-16. Sridharadāsa's Saduktikarņāmsta (1205 A. D.) has sixty verses relating to Bālakṣşņa. Many of these
verse quite probably derive from earlier sources. 3. The textual citations are given in an Appendix at the end of
this paper. Sarvasena's Harivijaya (4th Cent. A.D.), now lost, was the earliest know Prakrit Mahākāvya based on the episode of Pārijāta-harana. See Kulkarni, V. M., 'The Harivijaya of Sarvasena', Annals of the BORI, Diamond Jubilee Volume, 1977-78, p. p. 691-710, now also published in his Studies in
Sanskrit Sāhitya-Sastra, 1983, pp, 162-191. 4. Vākpatirāja is known to have written another Prakrit Mahākāvaya
called Mahumaha-vijaya (Madhumatha-vijaya). but we have no information about its subject-matter or contents. Mahumaha or Mahumahana was a favourite Prakrit name of Krşņa or
Vişņu in the post-Gupta period. 5. For a survey of the Jain tradition on Krşna's life as a whole,
