DAŠARŪPA 245

Prasasti of the kings of Malwa edited by Buhler (E. I. vol. I pp. 222-238) and in the Nagpur Prasasti of the same line of kings (E. I. II pp. 180-194 edited by Kielhorn) the following pedigree of the Paramara kings is given. WTHR-descendant उपेन्द्र-वैरिसिंह I-सीयक I-चाक्पति I-वैरिसिंह II-एवं-s00 वाक्पति II-सिन्धुराज brother of the preceding-भोज son of सिन्दु०-उदयादित्य relative of भोज- लद्षमदेव and नरवर्मदेव. वाक्पतिराज was also called मुब्ज and उत्पलराज, while सिन्धुराज was called नवसाहसाढ् and कुमारनारायण. The नवसाइसाक्कचरित of पश्मगप्त alias परिमल states in (XI. 101-102) that सिन्धुराज younger brother of वाक्पतिराज was called नवसाहसाक्क. The तिलकमब्जरी of धनपाल also gives briefly the pedigree as वैरिसिंह-सीयक alias श्रीहर्ष-s0ns वाक्पतिराज and सिन्धुराज-son भोज of सिन्धुराज. The first प्रकाश after bowing to गखेश, विष्णु, भरत and सरस्वती speaks of the ten kinds of rupakas, नृत्य and नृत्त, लास्य, ताण्डव, the five sandhis and their angas, definition of विष्कम्भ, चूलिका, अक्कास्य, अक्कावतार, प्रवेशक etc. The 2nd speaks of several kinds of heroes (नायक) and heroines (नायिका), their charcteristics, their friends, the four vrttis and their angas. The third gives practical directions as to how to begin a nātaka," about the prologue, about the various requisites that constitute the ten kinds of rupakas. The fourth deals with the rasa theory in all its details. The commentary of धनिक is a learned one and

धनिक as an officer of उत्पलराज. Buhler on Udepur Prasasti (E. I. vol. I. at p. 227) states that धनिक was the महासाध्यपाल of उत्पलराज (i. e. वाक्पति). मुज and वाक्पतिराज are the same since the same verse is attributed by धनिक to मुज and also to वाक्पतिराज and since the Nigpur prasasti (E. I. vol. II. p. 184 verse 23) speaks of मुब्ज as the son of सीयक and does not men- tion वाक्पतिराज. The नवसाइसाङ्कचरित XI. 93 speaks of him as कविमित्र, 'अतोते विक्रमादित्ये गतेस्तं सातवाहने। कविमित्रे विशश्राम यस्मिन् देवी सरस्वती ।I'. 1. The Nagpur Prasasti of samvat 1161 (1104-5 A. D.) in E. I. vol. II. 180 at p. 185 (verse 32) states 'तस्मित्वासवनन्धुता- मुपगते राज्ये च कुल्याकुले मन्नस्वामिनि तस्य बन्धुरुदयादित्योभवद्गूपतिः ।'. 2. The दशरूप expressly states that Nataka is the pattern on which other varieties of plays are to be modelled 'ysfaen- दयान्येषां भूयोरसपरित्रहास। सम्पूर्णलक्षरात्वात्र पूर्व नाटकसुच्यते I' III. 1.
