For the commentaries on 'other works', at least two are edited:

• Subodhā on Kālidāsa's Meghasandeśa

Meghasandeśa of Kālidāsa : text and English translation with twelve Sanskrit commentaries : Pañjikā of Vallabhadeva, Bālabodhinī of Sthiradeva, Pradīpa of Dakṣiṇāvartanātha, Cāritravardhinī of Caritravardhana, Sañjīvinī of Mallinātha, Śiṣyahitaiṣiṇī of Lakṣmīnivāsa, Vidyullatā of Pūrṇasarasvatī, Sumanoramaṇī of Parameśvara, Subodhā of Bharatasena, Sugamānvayavṛtti of Sumativijaya, Meghadūtaṭīkā of Kṛṣṇnapati, Rasadīpinī of Jagadhara / editor, Prof. N.P.

— the intr. of this book contains a detailed section on Bharatamallika and his unpublished mss. (his com. on Nalodaya, one ms. in IO, appears omitted both here and in Bhattacharya's article)

Meghadūtam in the eyes of the commentators : a descriptive study of the texts with twelve commentaries, Sthiradeva-Bālaprabodhinī, Vallabha-Pañjikā, Dakṣiṇavartanātha-pradīpa Caritravardhana-Chāritravardhinī, Jagaddhara-Rasadīpinī, Mallaninātha-Sañjīvanī, Pūrṇasarasvatī-Vidyullatā, Parameśvara-Sumanoramaṇī, Bharatamallika-Subodhā, Kr̥ṣṇapati-Vahoraṇa, Narahari-Brahmaprakāśikā, Brahmaśaṅkarmiśra-Bhāvabodhinī.Classical Sanskrit poem on the story of Yakṣa who sends message to his wife through megha (cloud) with twelve commentaries; includes translations in English. Dillī, Bhārata : Pratibhā Prakāśana, 2016. viii, 617 pages ; 28 cm ISBN 9788177023800

• Mugdhabodhinī on the Bhaṭṭikāvya : several eds in Calcutta, the first one already in 1828 (see NCC + D. C. Bhattacharya's art. fn. 1 - https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.429222/page/767/mode/2up - https://archive.org/details/TheIndianHistoricalQuarterlyVol.XVIII/page/n207/mode/2up - in the BL IO collection of Books s.v. Bharatamallika)

Bhattacharya gives also the references to the eds of four of Bharatasena's original works — two which are genealogical treaties (Ratnaprabhā and Chandraprabhā; see ref. of the former only p. 170 fn. 9 + for both ones in Barnett, A Suppl. Cat. ... in the Library of the British Museum, 1908, s.v. Bharatasena) and two small grammatical works in verses, one on monosyllabic homonyms and one on kārakas (see ref. by D. C. Bhattacharya's art. fn. 11-12 + NCC).

There could be eds in Bengali script of some of his other grammatical or medical writings.

Are Bharatamallika's commentaries on the Amarakośa and his medical writings, not to mention other works, really still unpublished?

Best wishes,

On Bharatamallika, see also the interesting paper by Pascale Haag,

Dear colleagues,

The Śabdakalpadruma contains quite a number of citations with attributions like

bharatadhṛtahaḍḍacandraḥ, bharatadhṛtavyāḍiḥ, bharatadhṛtaśabdārṇavaḥ, bharatadhṛtaratnakoṣaḥ, etc.

I suspect that these may be taken from the works of Bharatasena alias Bharatamallika. (I am unable to check at this time whether there is explanation of this matter in the Śabdakalpadruma itself.) And I would like to be able to track down the source texts.

If anyone can share any e-texts of any of the works of this apparently prolific 17th-c. author, I'd be very grateful.

There is an elaborate entry concerning him in NCC 16, and also at https://panditproject.org/entity/40418/person.

Related to the above: can anyone help me with a pdf of the following?

D. C. Bhattacharya, "Bharatamallika and his Patron." IHQ XVIII-2. 1942, pp. 168-79.

Thanks a lot.

Arlo Griffiths
