Introduction
About this Manuscript
This contains all 13 sarga-s of the mahākāvya by Kavirājapaṇḍita, which uses śleṣa to narrate the Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata simultaneously. Kavirājapaṇḍita (or Kavirāja Sūri) was court poet of ‘Vīra’ Kāmadeva II (1182–87) of the Kādambas of Jayantīpura (Karnataka region). The first three folios have marginal notes explaining the double meanings. A pencilled note on the cover refers to the tīkā (commentary) by Śaśidhara, which seems to have formed the second part of the manuscript, going by the folio numbers. The last folio shifts from Newari to Devanagari to elaborate on the simultaneous references to Sitā/Draupadi.
