Suktimuktavali (IAST: Sūktimuktāvalī, 1257 CE) is an anthology of Sanskrit-language verses composed in the Seuna (Yadava) kingdom of present-day India.
One of its introductory verses name its author as Jalhana (IAST: Jalhaṇa), the commander of the elephant force of the Yadava ruler Krishna.
[1] The introductory portion of the text provides following account of Jalhana's family: Dada, a man of the Vatsa gotra, served the Yadava chief Mailugi (Mallugi).
Janardana's son and successor Lakshmideva helped consolidate the power of the Yadava king Krishna, built a large tank, and maintained a beautiful garden.
[2] However, the concluding verses state that Bhanu (or Bhaskara) composed the work on behalf of "Jalha" (presumably an abbreviated form of the name "Jalhana").
