Our MS. mentions Mankhuka as the author’s name. In Burnell, Tanjore, p. 54a, the name of the author is given as t Ka£m^rasandhivigrahikamahkhuka. , Generally Rajanaka Ruyyaka (or Rucaka) is mentioned as the author of our work. Thus in the edition published in the *Ka- ▼yamala’ (No. 35, Bombay 1893); also in the Bodleian MS. Wilson 406 (Aufrecht-Oxford 210a), where Ruppaka is a mistake for Ruyyaka. Mitra, Notices No. 3015 (vol. IX, p. 117) has Rajanaka Rucaka. Biihler (Report, pp. 51, 67 seq.) has shown that Rajanaka Ruyyaka was the Guru of Mankha or Mankhaka (who wrote his Srlkanthacarita between A. D. 1135 and 1145). Is Mankhuka identical with Mankhaka, and was he the real author of the Alam- kSraSastra which his Guru appropriated to himself?
