Source: Shodhganga: The Kavyamimamsa of RajasekharaKhasādhipati (खसाधिपति) is the name of an important person (viz., an Ācārya or Kavi) mentioned in Rājaśekhara’s 10th-century Kāvyamīmāṃsā.—Rājaśekhara mentioned this name in the eighth chapter of his Kāvyamīmāṃsā. It seem that Khasādhipati was a historical persons, who defeated Samudragupta’s son and Candragupta II’s elder brother Ramagupta and asked for a part of his kingdom with beautiful wife Dhruvasvamīni (or Dhruvadevi) in truce. Annoyed at this Candragupta II in the disguise of Dhruvasvamini took his revenge on Khasādhipati, killed him and also his unworthy brother Ramagupta. Then he married with Dhruvasvamīni and took the reins of the kingdom in his own hands. Else ever, some of the scholars think, it may possible that the name Khasadhipati was placed on the name of Śakādhipati for the composing mistake.
