I'd like to ask the list for help with a problem that I have been unable to
solve with the means available to me.
The Sansknet project (resurrected under a new URL some time ago) has
an electronic text of a commentary on Visvanatha's Sahityadarpana. The
1st pariccheda, e.g., which can be found here:
http://sansknet.ac.in/Sahityam/Sahityadarpanam/Vilochana/Parichada1.h
tm
has the following colophon:
iti 'srii-Mahe'svaranyaayaala.mkaara-bha.t.taacaarya-viracitaayaa.m
Saahityadarpa.na-tiikaayaam prathama.h pariccheda.h.
Now, there is a commentary by one Mahesvaratarkalamkara
(note: -tarka-, not -nyaya-!),
called Vij~napriyaa
(published in 1998 by the Bharatiya Buk Karporesan [Book Corporation];
ISBN 81-85122-13-X; unavailable here).
On the other hand, what is usually known as the Sahityadarpanatika is
Haridasa's Kusumapratima.
A have found no reference whatsoever to Mahesvaranyayalamkara, or to
the title under which his tika is filed on Sanknet: "Vilochana" [=
Vilocanaa].
[The Locana commentary by Visvanatha's son, Anantadasa, by the way,
is filed separately under "Lochana", as may be expected.]
Any confirmation that the commentator's name and the title are correct
would already be a great help.
Thanks in advance
