UDBHAȚA 139

å. has been published in the G. O. series based on a single ms. (1931). From these quotations it follows that the comme- ntary of Tilaka was called उद्गटविवेक or उद्टविचार. The rele- vant reference in the com. of faora to the matter mentioned in the Ist quotation from the विमर्शिनी will be found at p. 22 of the com. of facra. I have not been able to find the second reference in the printed text of the उद्दटविवेक, unless the meagre explanation on p. 41 is treated as the one referred to. The word सामध्य appears in उद्धर's definition of विशेषोक्ति (V. 5) and not in faera's comment. The 3rd extract probibly refers to P.40 of the printed text (काव्ये दोषगुशालद्कारायां च शब्दारथगततयान्व- यव्यतिरेकाभ्यां विभाग: क्रियते। तिलक). In this case the अलं.स. (P. 257 तस्मादाश्रवाश्रयिभावेनैव चिरन्तनमतानुसृतिरिति) appears to differ from तिलक and follows older authors. The commentary of तिलक, though brief, is always to the point and acute. He criticizes प्रतीहारेन्दुराज several times and it appears that he had several commentaries on Udbhata before him. ₹47 who wrote the काव्यप्रकाशसक्केत1 learnt Poetics under तिलक and acc. to the colophon of the सहृदयलीला, the author रुचक whose another name was रुय्यक was the son of राजानकतिलक. As the अलं.स. was composed between 1135-1155, तिलक must have flourished about 1100-1125 A. D. He was probably a younger contemporary of HFHz. I do not at all agree with the arguments, which look like special pleading, of the learned editor of the उद्भटविवेक (Intro. pp. 42-45) that HEE had read Tilaka's work and borrowed ideas fiom him. To me it appears that the truth is just the other way about. Similarly, the editor's attempt (Intro. pp. 38-39) t) show that तिलक wrote some other work is based on nothing more solid than mere conjectures. The ms. of तिलक's commentary on 3a2 refered to by Dr. De in Bulletin of the London School of Oriental Studies, vol. 4 p. 279 is the same as the one on which the G. O. S. edition is based. 12.
