• Śataka: Udayāditya’s Candracūḍāmaṇi Śataka, a century of 103 verses, each closing on the name of Śiva as Candracūḍāmaṇi.
• Kāvya: Harihara’s Girijākalyāṇa, in ten āśvāsas, on the marriage of Girijā and Śiva; and Rāghavāṅka’s Siddharāma Caritre, in nine sandhis, on the life of the saint Siddharāma.
• Śāstra: Candrarāja’s Madanatilaka, in eleven adhikāras, and Maṅgarasa’s Khagendramaṇidarpaṇa, a treatise on poisons and their cure in sixteen adhikāras. These are the first works in the library’s new Śāstra section.

Each text was prepared from our source documents and checked against them word for word. All of them can be found in our Digital Library.
