page 1066 note 1 Vallabhadeva, in Subhāṣitāvalī, vv. 1674Google Scholar and 1678, quotes Ṛtusaṃhāra, vi, 16 and 19, as Kālidāsa's. It should be noted that v. 1673 is also Kālidāsa's (Kumārasaṃbhava, iii, 29), which strengthens the attribution. The fact that vv. 1703 and 1704 are quoted as anonymous has no weight; no doubt they were taken from an anthology which gave no names, as Buhler, , Die indischen Inschriften, p. 71Google Scholar, n. 2, suggests.

Oldenberg, , Der Literatur des alten Indien, p. 217Google Scholar, n. 1, leaves the matter open. Weber, it must. be remembered, at one time doubted the authenticity of the Mālavikāgnimitra, but later recognized his error; see his Indian Literature, p. 204, n. 211.

page 1069 note 3 The difference between the Eclogues and Georgics of Vergil are much more marked, and yet their ascription to Vergil is in both cases beyond all doubt. Again, the poems of Catullus show a variety much greater than that found in the case of Kālidāsa's poems.
