: Shodhganga: The Kavyamimamsa of Rajasekhara

ⲹś󲹰 (माल्यशिख�) is the name a locality mentioned in Ჹś󲹰’s 10th-century Kāvyamīmāṃsā.—It is a mountain in western India, which Rājaśekhara also accepted in his Kāvyamīmāṃsā. Therefore, it cannot be identified with mount Malyavān supposed to be situated near Kiṣkiṇdhā in south India. In the story of Rāmāyaṇa, Rāma stayed on this mountain during the rainy season. So it seems to different from Ჹś󲹰’s Malyaśikara and the mount Malyavān of Rāmāyaṇa and its identification may be sought for in the Vindhya range as a peak near about the Mālavā country on the west.
