________________ INTRODUCTION XXIX Gunaratna 1 (consisting of but thirteen verses), to our poet. Excepting verse 1, which is a mere repetition of Mal. I. 2, the poem has nothing in common with Bhavabhūti's style The last eleven verses are of the nature of proverbs such as are usually met with in works on Nītı All the verses but the first have been included by Bohtlingk in his Indische Spruche, which may be consulted for references to other works where these stanzas are to be found. Below I append the numbers in Bohtlingk's work. Verse 2 = No. 5033, occurs also in Sārngadhara-paddhatz 502 as kasyā pi, verse 3 = No. 6089, verse 4 = No. 2152, verse 5 = No 2130 occurs also in Sārngadhara-paddhatr 295 as anonymous, verse 6 = No. 2138, verse 7 = No 6099, verse 8= No. 4658, verse 9 = No 5960, verse 10= No.5468, verse 11 = No 2445, verse 12 = No 94, but attributed to Vyāsa in Sārngadhara-paddhatr 669, verse 13 = No 2153 Bhavabhūtı must have, however, composed other works which unfortunately have been lost to us, for a large number of verses ascribed to him are not traceable in his three known dramas. 9 a. The following is a list of these verses (1) in Śārngadhara-paddhatz 8 as bhavabhūteh 43, 2 (No 791), alpatalarr anuyātām, 6, 2 (No 146), niravadyāne padyāni, 41, 2 (No. 749), darvād yady apr tulyo (2) in Suvrtta-tılaka 4 as bhatta-bhavabhūteh : Commentary on II 37 ajñānād yadi vā.
