अमरुशतकम्
which mark the poems as the product of a single creative
mind.
The earliest mention of Amaru as a poet of eminence who
excelled in painting love in detached verses is found in the
middle of the ninth century. Anandavardhana, in his
Dhvanyaloka says:--
मुक्तं हि प्रबन्धेविव रसबन्धाभिनिवेशिनः कवयो दृश्यन्ते । 447
ह्यमरुकस्य कवेर्मुक्तकाः शृङ्गाररसनिध्यन्दिनः प्रबन्धायमानाः प्रसिद्धा एव ।
III, 7, P. 142.
The Daśarupakakara (last quarter of the 10th century)
cites numerous verses from what he calls the Amaruśataka,
and since then the tradition is uniform among rhetoricians
of referring to the poems of Amaru as Amaruśataka.
Arjuna speaks of अमरुककवेः प्रसार-श्लोकान् शतम् - - the hundred
verses known as belonging to Amaru; Rudrama speaks of
the अमरुशतकम्, and Vema imentions अमरुककविना रचितां
शृङ्गाररसात्मिकां शतश्लोकीम् ।
Dr. Pischel 15 in his introduction to the Śṛngāratilaka makes
the suggestion that originally the Amaruśataka was intended.
like Rudrata's Sṛngāratilaka, to illustrate the sentiment of
love and the types of heroes and heroines, and from this
point of view the seeming incoherence of the single stanzas
becomes at once intelligible. The suggestion, as remarked
by Dr. S. K. De, 16 " is indeed very ingenious but unlikely
since no definite tradition of any particular object is
associated with the work." The seemingly incoherent
arrangement and the absence of any logical grouping of the
verses are properly explained by Arjuna who remarks: _
