Description
An Alaṁkāra text contains four stavakas by Deveśvara, the son of Vāgbhaṭa, who was the prime minister to the king of Mālava. The text serves as a manual for poets, drawing from and borrowing elements of the Kāvyakalpalatā by Arisiṁha and Amaracandra. One of the Samasyā ślokas in the work contains a panegyric for Hammīramahīmahendra, probably identical to the Chauhan prince of that name, circa 1283 A.D. (NCC, Vol. III, p. 270).
A fragment consists of four stavakas. The first stavaka has chandābhyāsa and three other chapters, each named kusuma. The second stavaka has uddiṣṭavarṇa and four other chapters. The third stavaka has rājadarśana and five other chapters. The fourth stavaka has arthotpāda and six other chapters (Matsunami, 1965, p. 35). This manuscript contains a fragmented folio of the Tridaśaḍāmaratantra, a Kaula Śaiva tantric text.
