Chandrahasa..
The 'Jamini Bharata' is attributed to a disciple of Vyasa, Jaimini, who is also said to be the founder of the Purvamimamsa philosophy.

The repeated attempts on the life of innocent Chandrahasa not only failed to materialize but also finally boomeranged on the villain himself because of Chandrahasa's implicit faith in the Lord.
