This contains the first four out of thirteen sarga-s of a prakāśa (commentary) on Kavirāja’s Rāghavapāṇḍavīya by Śaśidhara, grandson of Rudrasiṃha, who composed it at the instance of King Amarasiṃha. Kavirāja Sūri was court poet of Kāmadeva II (1182 –87) of the Kādambas of Jayantīpura (Karnataka region); the work uses śleṣa to narrate the Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata simultaneously.
