Part 16 - The Lost Works of Ჹś󲹰 (Introduction)

It appears that Ჹś󲹰 has contributed a lot in the field of Sanskrit Literature and Poetics. But many researchers i.e. S. K. De[1], Konow[2] and Mirasi[3] etc. opine that some of his works have been lost.

However some traces are available so far his lost works are concerned. Such as:

[(i) The Haravilāsa]

[(ii) The Bhūvanakośa]
