Dear list


I have Mallinātha’s Sañjīvanī and Bhaṭṭahemādri’s Raghuvaṃśadarpaṇa on the Raghuvaṃśa.

 

Have the following commentaries on Raghuvaṃśa ever been published?

  1. Vallabhadeva’s Pañjikā
  2. Dinakaramiśra’s Subodhinī
  3. Cāritravardhana’s Śiśuhitaiṣiṇī
  4. Sumativijaya’s Sugamānvayā
As per the preface of the edition of Raghuvaṃśa by Pt. N R Acharya (Nirnay Sagar Press 1948), the manuscripts of the above four were available with BORI in 1948. Pt. Acharya did publish some citations from all four as footnotes but they are minimal extracts only.

Thanks, Nityānanda Miśra

In his edition of Raghuvamsa (with Hemadri I guess),
Prof. RCDwivedi has shown how the footnote extracts from other commentaries 
in the NSPress edition are not always faithful/accurate.

Seeking a clarification: Is the above Hemadri the same as the author of 'Chaturvargachintamani' (dharma shaastra compilation)?

Thanks.

Misraji,

Sorry for the wrong link to Goodall's edition of Raghuvamsa. Giving below the right link. It seems the book has not been made available online.

Namaste,

Attaching bibliography from Dominic Goodall's edn of Raghuvamsa, received from a scholar who is not a member of the group (I will invite him to join BVP). He hopes this discussion on Raghuvamsa would give a chance to remind Sanskrit scholars again of the heavy unpublished materials that we are still having with us. many commentaries still remain unpublished!!!

shankara
