JAGANNĀTHA 323

मट्टोजिदीच्षित, which is a com. on the सि. कौ .; (4-8) five लहरिs (men- tioned in रसग. p. 109 called सुधा, अमृत about the river यमुना in 10 शाद लविक्रीडित verses in K.M. series, लक्षमी (41 verses), करुणा (60 verses in वियोगिनी and other metres1 in K.M. series), गक्ता or पीयूष (in 52 शिखरिणी verscs); (9) जगदाभरण (in praise of Dara Shukoh), (10) आसफविलास (about Nabob Asafkhan, who died in 1641 A. D.); (11) प्राणाभरण (in praise of प्राखनारायण, prince of कामरूप or कमता in Assam in 51 verses in different metres;2 (12) भामिनीविलास (in four समुल्लासs on अन्योक्ति, शृङ्गार, करुण and शान्ति); (13) यमुनावणनचम्पू (quoted in रसगङ्गाधर pp.19 and 128). The रसगङ्गाधर quotes verses from many of his other works such as from the गङ्गालहरि (समृद्धं सौभाग्यं० p. 243, समुत्पत्ति: p. 491), from the भामिनीविलास (दिगन्ते श्रयन्ते० p. 402, पुरा सरसि० p. 403). For detailed information about Jagannatha, his date, his poetry and literary criticism, his works and the like; vide Mr. V. A. Ramswami Sastri's contributions in Journal, Annamalai University, vol. II pp. 201-208, vol. III pp. 106-116, 229-244, vol. IV pp. 149-158, 262-274. These contributions were correct- ed and supplemented by the learned Pandit and issued as a separate work in 32 pages 'Jagannatha Pandit' in 1942 at Annamalingara. जगन्नाथ was a Tailanga brahmana of the भान्ध्रवेंगिनादि family. He was the son of पेरुभट्ट (or पेरमभट्ट)8 and learnt at the feet of his own father and also of शेषवीरेश्वर. पेरुमट्ट was the pupil of शानेन्द्रभित्त in भद्वृत, of महेन्द्र in न्याय and वैशेषिक, of खएडदेव in पूर्वमीमांसा at Benares, of वीरेश्वर surnamed शेष in grammar (Intro. verses 2 and 3 of रस०). It appears that the title of पएिडतराज was conferred name मनोरमाकुचमर्दिनी. Vide Calcutta Oriental Journal vol. III. No. 3 pp. 41-51 for a statement of जगन्नाथ's criticism of Bhattoji. 1. Some of these are found in the ामिनीविलास and the रसगश्ञा० (e.g. वाचा निर्मलया on p. 66). 2. प्रायनारायण was a feudatory of the Mogul Emperor and died in 1666 A. D. 3. At the end of his प्रायाभरण we have the following verse: तलकन्वयमझलालयमहालचमीदयालालित: श्रीमस्पेरमभट्टसूनुरनिशं विदल- लाटंतप:। सन्तुष्टः कमताधिपस्य कवितामाकयरयं तदर्णन श्रीमत्परिडतराज-परिडत- जगननाथो व्यधासीदिदम् ॥. In the रसगङ्गाधर (Intro. verses) the father is called drny. He probably migrated to Assam during the tumultuous times when there was fratricidal war between the sons of Shah Jahan.
