Murari was the son of Vardhamana and Tantumatidevi
&nd of the Moudgalyagotra. He is .quoted by Ratnakara, and
the latter flourished at the court of Avantivarnxan (855—884.
A. D.) In the introduction to his Anargha Raghava it is said
that the audience were terrified by the representation of a play
which was full of sentiments of anger, terror and .disgust and
probably the reference is to Bhavabhuti's Malati-Madhava-
Accordingly his work was meant to remove-the unpleasant
feelings of the audience. The plot is made up of the story of
Rama and owing to the eloquence of the narration he has
been named Bara-Valrniki. The play has no dramatic beauty
and it is more fit for the hall than for the stage. His diction
is inscrutable and: his ideas are far-fetched and im most cases
unnatural. Anyhow toe shows himself a. master .of scholarly
reading and ready vocabulary. Viewed,as :ciassic poetry, his
work finds a middle place in the poetic pantheon.
