INTRODUCTION
recension of the poem. The number of quotations in his work
is very small. Apart from a few references to Bhoja,1 most of the quotations are anonymous. The definition of Vibhavana with the example, cited in the beginning of the commentary, is from Dandin's Kavyadarsa. Two verses are cited from the Daśarupaka2 in the gloss on Setu 4.3. Two other anonymous quotations are found in the gloss on 10.75%
and 12.50.4
Madhavayajvan appears also to have composed a commentary on the Gathasaptasati. Two mss. of this commentary called Tatparyadipika are reported to be in the Punjab University Library, now in Pakistan.5
There is no doubt that our Madhavayajvan is identical writh the author of that name who wrote the Nayacandrikǎ commentary on the Arthaśastra. A portion of this commentary, edited by Udayavīra Sastri from an incomplete ms., was included in the second volume of the Arthaśastra edited by Jolly and Schmidt. The colophon at the end of each chapter of the Nayacandrika gives the name of the author as Vadikavicūḍāmaņi Mahopadhyāya Śrīmat Mādhavayajvamiśra,

10.64.
