For Mânatunga compare Klatt in Ind. Ant. XI. p. 252. He is No. 20 in the Tapâ gachchha with Klatt. "Mânatunga, 'Mâlaveśvarachaulukyavayarasinhadevâmâtya.' He converted the king, who was beguiled by the sorceries of Bâna and Mayûra, at Vârânasî, by the Bhaktâmarastavana, and convinced Nagaraja by the Bhayaharastavana. He also composed a stavana beginning Bhattibhara." See also Weber, II. p. 932, note, where references are given to Bühler, Ind. Ant. 1, pp. 111-115; Jacobi in Ind. Stu. 14, p. 359, and the passage from Klatt. Weber adds the following later communication from Klatt. "The Prabhavakacharitra (composed about Samvat 1250), in which Mânatunga's life (śringa 12) follows immediately after that of Bappabhațți (died Samvat 895) contains only the already known story of the controversy between Bâna, Mayûra and Mânatunga before king Harsha in Vânârasî.
