7. Especially striking is the close resemblance between the episodes
in both poems following Rāvana's death. In a sequence of three kaļāvaka's in the Paūmacariu describing Rāvana's mourning loved-ones, more than half of the verses contain one or more verbal similarities to the corresponding passages in the Mahāpurāņa. This episode in the Paūmacariu is usually47 regarded as one of Svayambhūdeva's poetically most appreciated passages. That may be an indication that Puşpadanta also was so deeply impressed with this episode that he was either unwillinglyunable to shake of Svayambhūdeva's influence concerning this passage, or willingly modelled his passage on Svayambhūdeva's episode. 76.2.2-348
