Dear sirs, namaskars,
I have started reading the Mahabharatam along with the commentary of Nilakantha, wherein Nilakantha quotes another source 'iti RatnagarbhaH'  frequently. Is this Ratnagarbha the name of a person or of a commentary and if so, what happened to it?
Appayya Deekshita is said to have written three booklets named Mantra Ramayanam, Mantra MahaBharatam and Mantra Bhagavatam. This was told in one of the talks by an renowned scholar Mudigonda Venkata Rama Shastry (who passed away around 30 yrs ago, but whose recorded talks are available). Can someone throw light on these books? Appayya Deekshita seems to have written that several Vedic mantras are embedded in the three texts in different places.
Regards,
Aravinda Rao K

Rao ji,

Among Appayya Dikshita's known and published works, there are two works related to Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Ramayana Tatparya Sangraha Stotra (25 veses) and Bharata Tatparya Sangraha Stotra (20 verses) with auto-commentaries. Both the texts are included in Vol 4 of Appayya Dikshitendra Granthavali.

I am sure you are familiar with Nilakantha Chaturdhara's Mantrabhagavatam and Mantraramayanam. 

regards
shankara

The time period of Appayya Dikshita had a trend of Sangraha forms for Ramayana, Bharata and Bhagavata. There are many such sangraha works of that period.
