When it comes to translations into Tamil, Daṇḍin's Kāvyādarśa should be mentioned. This text has also been translated into Kannaḍa, Tibetan and probably even more languages.

Subject: [INDOLOGY] Translations
 
I have received a query from a scholar not on this list about translations of Sanskrit texts into other Indian languages in the medieval period, say pre- 17th century. If any of you know such translations, I’d be delighted to get some information on them.

With thanks and best wishes,

Patrick Olivelle
