'''Dhundhi-raja''' ([[IAST]]: Ḍhuṇḍhirāja), also known as '''Ḍhuṇḍhi Vyāsa''', was an 18th-century [[Sanskrit]] writer from [[Varanasi]], who settled in the [[Thanjavur Maratha kingdom]] of present-day [[Tamil Nadu]], India. He is noted for writing a commentary on ''[[Mudrarakshasa|Mudra-rakshasa]]'' (1713 CE) and an adaptation of ''[[Gita Govinda|Gita-govinda]]''.

== Biography ==

Dhundhi-raja was also known as Dhundhi-raja-vyasa-yajvan or Dhundhi-raja-yajvan,{{sfn|Julia Leslie|1989|p=19}} ''yajvan'' being the title accorded to a person who had performed a ritual sacrifice (''[[yajna]]'').{{sfn|Julia Leslie|1989|p=12}} King [[Shahuji I|Shahaji I]] gave him the title ''Abhinava-Jayadeva'' ("the new [[Jayadeva]]") for writing ''Shaha-vilasa-gita'',{{sfn|Julia Leslie|1989|p=19}} a free adaptation of Jayadeva's ''[[Gita Govinda|Gita-govinda]]''.<ref name="EG"/>

Dhundhi-raja was a [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-speaking [[brahmin]], originally from [[Varanasi]]. His father's name was Lakshmana-vyasa alias Lakshmana-sudhi. In the Thanjavur Maratha kingdom, Dhundhi-raja resided at [[Swamimalai|Svamimalai]] near Thanjavur. His patrons included several members of the Thanjavur court, including the kings Shahaji I and [[Serfoji I]], as well as the ministers [[Tryambaka-yajvan|Tryambaka]] and Raghunatha. He describes himself as a ''pauranika'' ([[Purana]] [[sūta|story-teller]]) of Shahaji.{{sfn|Julia Leslie|1989|p=19}}

Dhundhi-raja had a son named Balakrishna, and a grandson named Shankara-dikshita, who composed ''Pradyumna-vijaya''.{{sfn|Julia Leslie|1989|p=19}}

== Works ==

* ''Shaha-vilasa-gita'' or ''Shaha-vilasa-gitam'' ([[IAST]]: Śāhavilāsagīta or Śāhavilāsagītam), a poem adapted from [[Gita Govinda|Gita-govinda]]. It celebrates the love between king [[Shahuji I|Shahaji I]] and a [[courtesan]].<ref name="EG">{{cite book |author=Elisa Ganser |chapter=From Text to Performance: On Multilingual Practices of South Indian Dance |editor1=Giovanni Ciotti |editor2=Erin McCann, Erin |title=Linguistic and Textual Aspects of Multilingualism in South India and Sri Lanka |year=2021 |publisher=Institut Français de Pondichéry |pages=604–605 |isbn=9782855392424 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=V7t3zgEACAAJ }}</ref>
* ''Mudra-rakshasa-vyakhya'' (IAST: Mudrārākṣasavyakhya), a commentary on ''[[Mudra-rakshasa|Mudrarakshasa]]''{{sfn|Julia Leslie|1989|p=10}}

The introductory verses in Dhundhi-raja's ''Mudra-rakshasa-vyakhya'' are same as those of his patron [[Tryambaka-yajvan|Tryambaka]]'s ''Dharmākūta'': it is possible that Tryambaka took these verses from Dhundhi-raja's work. Alternative theories ascribe the authorship of ''Mudra-rakshasa-vyakhya'' to Tryambaka or the authorship of ''Dharmākūta'' to Dhundhi-raja.{{sfn|Julia Leslie|1989|p=12}}
