Rudrabhatta

Rudrabhatta

Rudrabhatta was an influential Kannada writer in the court of the Hoysala Empire whose patron was a minister of King Veera Ballala II in the late 12th century.Narasimhacharya (1988), p20] His seminal work is "Rasakalika" which played an important role in the development of Indian aesthetics. It was the source for Vidyanatha in writing his "Prataparudriya". Vasudeva quotes from it in his comments on "Karpurmanjari" by Rajasekhara. Today's scholars have not recognised his influence.
