The following is a composition of Kshemendra, as an appendix to the famous
'Bharatamanjari' he composed as a re-telling of the Mahabharata.  In this
verse:

नमः सहस्रशाखाय धर्मोपवनशाखिने  ।
सत्त्वप्रतिष्ठापुष्पाय निर्वाणफलशालिने  ॥ १९.*१६ ॥

Kshemendra compares Vyasa to a huge tree in the garden of Dharma. The
flowers of the tree are sattvapratishtha, establishment in sattva and the
fruit is moksha, nirvaaNa. There are more kaavya rasa to be enjoyed in this
hymn to Veda Vyasa.

In the talk 'Kashmira' Dr.Shatavadhani Ganesh mentioned a work
'Vyasashtakam' authored by Kshemendra. I would like to view that text, if
it is available. My search on the internet did not yield any result. Any
help would be appreciated.
