the form रुचक (vide रत्नापण pp. 393, 396) Instead of the name अलक्भारसर्वस्व many writers use the shorter form सर्वस्व (रत्नापण pP. 424, 449, 452, रसगङ्गाघर pp. 220, 227 355, चित्रमीमांसा p.98). The sutras as well as the urtti are often referred to as अलक्कारसवस्व or सर्वस्व; vide एकावलीतरल (pp. 136, 146, 237), प्रतापरुद्० p. 291, रस्नापस (pp.341,452). The भलं. स. was translated into German by Jacobi in Z. D. M. G. vol. 62. Besides the अलङ्कारसवस्व, रुय्यक wrote the following works :- 1, अलक्कारानुसारिणी (mentioned by जयरथ on pp. 44, 73, 76); 2, काव्यप्रकाशसक्केत (p. 130 of विमर्शिनी); 3, नाटकमीमांसा; 4, व्यक्तिविवेक- विचार; 5, श्रीकएठस्तव (vide अलं. स. p. 23 'उदाहरयं मदीये श्रीक एठस्तवे'); 6, सहृदयलीला; 7, साहित्यमीमांसा; 8, हर्षचरितवार्तिक. About the last two the अलं. स. says (p' 77) 'एषा (उत्प्रेक्षा) च समस्तोपमाप्रतिपादक- विषयेपि हर्षचरितवार्तिके साहित्यमीमांसायां च तेषु तेषु प्रदेशेषूदाहता। इह तु अन्थ- विस्तरभयान्न प्रपञ्चिता'. जयरथ (p.16) distinctly ascribes the com.on the व्यक्तिविवेक to रुय्यक 'वाच्यस्य प्रतीयमानेन तादात्म्यतदुत्पत्यमावादि नेह प्रतन्यत इति व्यक्तिविवेकविचारे हि मयवैतद्वितत्य निर्णीतमिति भाव:'. The com. on the व्यक्तिविवेक (Trivandrum ed. p. 44) claims the हर्षचरितवार्तिक as a work of the author 'एतदस्माभिषृषंचरितवार्तिके विस्तृत्य प्रतिपादितम्'. Vide p. 50 also for the same statement. In the same work (p. 32) the नाटकमीमांसा and साहित्यमीमांसा are said to be the author's works. Aufrecht (C. C. p. 32 b) says that the अलंकारानुसारिणी is a commentary on the सोमपालविलास of जहण, rel- ying upon the remarks of रत्नकरठ (1681 A. D.) on स्तुतिकुसुमाब्जलि (VIII. 19 तथाहि कविवरजहणकृते सोमपालविलासे ... अस्यार्थः श्रीराजनकरुचक- विरचितायामलक्कारानुसारिगां etc.). But the remarks of जयरथ show that the अलक्कारानुसारिणी wis an independent work on भलक्कार, containing a dissertation on the 48 varieties of प्रतीयमानोरप्रेक्षा, on मालारूपक etc. A mere commentary on another work is hardly likely to contain such dissertations. The ग्यक्तिविवेकविचार (p.45) shows that the author contemplated writing a work called बहती. This last, if actually completed, whould be his tenth work. The सहृदयलोला (published in K. M. series and by Pischel at Kiel in 1886) is a brief work divided into four aetras called गु, अलक्गार, जीवित and परिकर. The first उल्लेख describes the ten gunas, रूप, वर्ण, प्रभा etc. of charming ladies; the 2nd speaks of the various kinds of ornaments (of gold, pearl, stones) etc., unguents, flowers worn by women; the third speaks of youth, that is the very essence of charm; and the last briefly refers to the paraphernalia that sets off beauty to advantage.
