Non-Extant Works Assigned to K¡emendra “BibliographyofK¢emendra’sMinorWorks”
The influence of Kashmiri Śaivism esp. in the Samayamātkā
Bhatkathāmañjarī, and the
mamālāNar-
has been acknowledged. But K¤emendra was clearly trying to blend the philosophical ideas
of Śaivism with those of Vai¤avism. He worked eclectically, borrowing doctrines from various
schools and even weaving them into his satirical works, Samayamātkā
e.g. Narmamālā
II.103,
II.112 11 . Most of the non-extant works of K¤emendra were listed in the introduction by RĀGHA-
VĀCHĀRYA (1961), pp. 10-12, and their position in the inner chronology has been discussed by
of
STERNBACH (1979), pp. 9 ff. In the īkā
Hemacandra’s (12 th cent.) Kāvyānuśāsanaīkā (Chaps.1-
2) some verses of the non-extant works from K¤emendra’s Kavikahābharaa are cited
(Amtataragakāvya, Kanakajānakī, Citrabhāratanāaka, Padyakādambarī) 12 . In Śārgadharapaddhati
(Bombay 1888, No. 3474) I found one verse assigned to K¤emendra, but as STERNBACH
(1979), pp. 9 ff. has shown, some more verses might have been quoted and attributed to Rājaśekhara
and other authors.

WOJTILLA (1984), BALDISSERA (1999, 2001 & 2005), KIRDE (2001), have focused on citations and allusions in
K§emendra’s satirical poems with reference to Tantrism.

For example, Kāvyānuśāsanaīkā in Hemacandra’s Āyurvedaśāstra,
(Bombay 1934, p. 8) the verse “aga candanapaka°” is
cited as an example from whereas in K§emendra’s Kavikahābharaa V. (Bombay 1887, p. 136) the
same verse is cited in “mama padyakādambaryām” as an example for familiarity with medical science.
