Bhamaha (Sanskrit: भामह, Bhāmaha) (c. 7th century[1]) was a Sanskrit poetician believed to be contemporaneous with Daṇḍin. He is noted for writing a work called the Kavyalankara (Sanskrit: काव्यालङ्कार, Kāvyālaṅkāra) ("The ornaments of poetry"). For centuries, he was known only by reputation, until manuscripts of the Kāvyālaṃkāra came to the attention of scholars in the early 1900s.[2]
