Bhagavadvarṇanam 94. I have compiled and put in alphabetical order the following list of the authors quoted by Vallabhadeva. The list is a nominal one, and ander each name I have added the instances where it occurs with varying honorific prefixes, without attempting here to decide how far a real distinction is meant to be inferred. In the great majority of such cases, doubtless, the compiler understood himself to be dealing with one and the same poet. But I doubt whether, how far that applies to cases where, as in this book, a quotation from Baka is inmediately followed by one from Srívaka. Then, again, we cannot say whether the compiler knew that Vyasadâsa was another name of Kshemendra, and Vidhyadipati of Ratnakara. He quotes the four, perhaps aware that they were only two, perhaps thinking them to be two, perhaps knowing them to be two. So again utpreksha-Vallabha, that is Vallabha fond of utprekshâs, * may be intended to distinguish that Vallabhadeva from another poet of the same name; but we cannot, in the absence of other testimony, be certain that it is so. bhagavata-Achintadeva.

• Compare apama-Kálid&sa, a title given to Kalidasa on account of his fondness for that figure, not a name intended to distinguish one Kalidasa from another.
