INTRODUCTION
Prasastis' and the introductory verses of the Pāțhyaratnakosa and see what facts can be ascertained from them.
Name :
The Ms. C. of Nrtyaratnakosa gives to this person only one name - Kālasena. But in the printed text of Pāțhyaratnakos'a we find such variants of Kālasena as Kālajit", Kāluji“, Krşņa and Tamarājie. Mention of Kāma seems to be a misprint for Kāla".
Geneology of Kālasena:
In the Pāthyaratnakosa, Kālasena refers to his dynasty as Vyāghrac mikaravaṁs'a. We can gather the following geneology of Kālasena from his Pras'astis :
Tāmarāja – (1)
Āmodarāja
Rāmarāja Penkarāja (Peņa] P. R. K. P. 3, V. 12. Mhāmarāja (Hmānga] P. R. K. V. 13. (Queen Padmāvati), Tāmarājendra (Tāmarāja] P. R. K. P. 5. V. 16.
Kālasena
The second Tâmarāja is described as Mahārājādhirāja-Mahārāņā. Srimțgānka - Tāmarājendra. It is not clear as to what is suggested by Srimrgānka. Mrgānka means the moon. Tämarājendra can be taken to mean Tāma, the great king.
1. The Ms. C. of Nityaratnakos'a gives short, long and very long Pras'astis of Kālasena as under :
P. 70 - a Pras'asti of two lines; pp. 107, 144, 183, Prasastis with 26 titles, and pp. 230-231 a very long Pras'asti with 105 titles. Similarly the Pathyaratnakos'a gives short Pras'astis on pp. 13, 14, 23, 33, 41, 45, 53, 69; a long one on pp 8,
18, 38, 55 and a very long one on pp. 72-75. 2. Päthyaratnakos'a, Pp, 2-5, verses 6-34. We have tried to collect our information
