Rajashekhara wrote the ''Kāvyamīmāṃsā'' between 880 and 920 CE. The work is essentially a practical guide for poets that explains the elements and composition of a good poem. He is most noted for the ''Kārpūramañjarī'', a play written in Maharashtri Prakrit. Rajashekhara wrote the play to please his wife, Avantisundarī, a woman of taste and accomplishment. Rajashekhara is perhaps the only ancient Indian poet to acknowledge his wife for her contributions to his literary career. Life In his ''Bālarāmāyaṇa'' and ''Kāvyamimāṃsā'', Rajashekhara referred himself by his family name ''Yāyāvara'' or ''Yāyāvarīya''.
