314 HISTORY OF SANSKRIT POETICS

Notices, vol. IXNo. 3160, pp. 40-41. The पच्यावलि of रूप has been edited by Dr. De in the Dacca University Publications Series. A few words must be said about the personal history of रूपगोस्वामी and जीवगोस्वामी. सनातन, his younger brother रूप and जीव (son of the youngest brother वल्लभ or अनुपम) are the most prominent of the gosvamins of Vrndavana. Their family was originally a Karņāta brāhmana1 family that migrated to Bengal at the end of the 14th century. सनातन, रूप and जीव fell heart and soul in the bhakti movement of Caitanya, otherwise called Gauranga. रूप systematized the भक्तिरसशास्त्र in the भक्तिरस।मृतसिन्धु and उज्ज्वल नीलमणि, while जीव specially dealt with the metaphy- sics of the Caitanya movement. Vide Aufrecht's cat. I p. 533, Dr. De's 'Vaisnava faith and movement in Bengal' pp. 113- 114 for the works of Rupa and pp. 116-118 of the latter for the works of Jiva. Among the authors and works named in the उउज्वलनीलमि the following may be noted: उद्धवसन्देश (pp.115, 126, 181,291, &c.), कर्णामृत (p. 602), क्रमदीपिका (p. 425), गीतगो- विन्द (pp. 140, 199, 215 &c.), छन्दोमन्जरी, जगन्नाथवल्लभ (p.525, a प्राकृत verse), दशरूपक, दानकेलिकौमुदी (a drama pp. 198, 272,283 &c.), पश्मपुराय, पद्यावलि (his own work frequently quoted), भरत (quoted several times), भागवत (particularly 10th skandha frequently cited), मुक्ताचरित (p. 318), मुनि (i. e. भरत pp. 14, 40

1. M. T. Kennedy in his 'Caitanya movement' (Oxford Un. Press, 1925, pp. 45-46) states that when Caitanya set out for Brindavan he met at Rāmkeli two remarkable men, who were originally Maratha brahmanas of princely descent, whose ancestors had migrated to Bengal and who had adopted the faith of Islam and had risen to be high officials in the Muha- mmedan court at Gaur. They were at once drawn to Caitanya and became the followers of Caitanya who gave them the names of Sanatana and Rupa. These men played a lead- ing part in the Caitanya movement. Dr. De in 'E irly History of the Vaisnava faith &c.' p. 73 n. 2 scouts the idea that Sanatana and Rupa had embraced the faith of Islam an l states that there is no evidence for holding so. But the evidence to the contrary that he brings forward is not very satisfactory nor conclusive.
