Dear Peter,

Thank you for the intriguing reference about the Ratnākara Purāṇa. But the papers on Archive seem not to associate this Pandit Ratnākara with the author of the Haravijaya. Is it just a mere assumption based on the title of the chronicle? Could you point me to any other consistent sources, if they exist?

Dear Alakendu Das,

To Ratnākara, 9th century Kashmir, author of the Haravijaya, is
attributed a chronicle of the kings of Kashmir, possibly only
surviving in fragments of translations into Persian and Urdu. See the
following blog post of Vinayak Razdan,
http://www.searchkashmir.org/2014/06/hasan-shah-and-lost-kings-of.html
,  and, linked from there, scans of two articles of Pandit Ananda Koul
in the Journal and Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal from
early 20th century, https://archive.org/details/HasansHistoryOfKashmir
. I was made aware of it by Muzaffar Ahmad,
https://independent.academia.edu/MuzaffarAhmad , who is working on it.

Best Regards,

Peter Pasedach
