stotrasamuchchayaH 2 (72)
##

The Ramamallehhaslotra (72) is of particular
interest because of its special form of
composition. The poet employs the dvAdashaprAsa,
repetition of a syllable twelve times in each
verse (the second syllable of each yati), in a
different way, using the repeated syllables in
the alphabetical order. The author, Mahadeva,
is probably the same as the author of the
naTeshAShTaka.
