Input by members of the Sansknet project
(http://sansknet.ac.in)



This GRETIL version has been converted from a custom Devanagari encoding.
Therefore, word boundaries are usually not marked by blanks

The text is not proof-read!


NOTE:
The Sansknet version consists of three separate files for each pariccheda:
1) the mula text,
2) Maheśvarabhaṭṭa's Vijnapriyā (erroneously called Vilocanā), continuously
"numbered" according to the consonants of the Sanskrit alphabet ["(vi, ka)", "(vi kha)", etc.]
and
3) Anantadāsa's Locanā, continuously "numbered" according to vowels ["(lo, a)", "(lo, ā)" etc.].
However, the respective references to the "numberings" of the commentaries are
missing in the mula text, which renders their coordination impossible.

This GRETIL version integrates the separate Sansknet files for the two commentaries
according to the following edition:
Śrīmadālaṃkārikacakravartitrikaliṅgagajapatisāmrājyasāndhi-
vigrahakamahāpātra-Viśvanāthakavirāja-praṇītaḥ
Sāhityadarpaṇaḥ
granthakṛdātmabhuvā Sāhityadarpaṇavasudhākareṇa,
Anantadāsena viracitayā Locanākhyayā,
Bhaṭṭācārya-śrī-Maheśvara-Tarkālaṃkāra-praṇītayā Vijñapriyā-samākhyayā ca vyākhyayā samakaṃkṛtaḥ
