ABHINANDA THE

GAUDA.

By G. BüHLER, Ph.D.

AMoNgst the poets, whose works are quoted

by Šàrngadhara in his large collection of ‘ elegant extracts,’ is a Gaula called Abhinanda or Abhinandana.

Two works of this author, the

Rāmacharitramahākāvya and the Kādambart kathására, are marked in my Catalogue of MSS. from Gujarāt, fascicle II, p. 102, no. 187, and

p. 128, no. 6. When I lately examined these

works, I found that they contain several statements regarding the family of the author, which are not without importance for the history, and especially the literary history, of India. I think, therefore, that it will not be useless to publish a separate notice of this little-known poet. The Rāmacharitra is by far the most extensive

of his two productions.
