Vātsagulmī (वात्सगुल्मी) refers to a style of poetry that evolved during the reign of Sarvasena during the Vākāṭakas (mid-3rd century CE).—During the reign of Sarvasena and his successors, Vatsagulma appears to have become a centre of learning, and the Prakrit kāvyas and subhāṣitas composed there evolved a style called Vacchomī (Vātsagulmī), which became a synonym of Vaidarbhī. Rājaśekhara mentions Vacchomī in this sense in the opening verse of his Karpūramañjari.
