An in-depth critique on the whole gamut of Prime Minister Mandana?s writings, the book brings into relief the wealth of his creative and critical equipment, which he happily posse-ssed in ample measure. Visibly confident of his erudition and poetic talents, he made substantial contri-butions to Balles Letters and technical literature. His Writings include in their ambit a Mahakavya, Campu, Shataka, poem on Prakraticitrna, besides a delightful compendium of Bana?s burly Kadambari, a treatise on Poetics and an exhaustive gloss on the Sarasvatavyakarana. With his poetic and scientific writings Mandana belied the oft-repeated charge that good poets do not make good critics. All of Mandana?s writings have been subjected in the book to a sustained evaluation, which, even if not exhaustive, is decidedly all-embra-cing. All the writings have much to commend themselves. No study of the raspective genres can he deemed to be complete without taking note of Mandana?s writings. The book has the distinct merit of turning focus on them. ISBN-9788178541471
