VYAKTIVIVEKA 255

p. 32. Hevery often quotes the views of पाणिनि as thsoe of the भाचार्यं (p.55), he enters upon a learned discussion about पयुंदास and प्रसन्यप्रतिवेष (on pp.38-39), very often quotes others' views with the words तदुकं, यदाङु: (pp.6, 7, 82, 121). Often he gives verses styled संग्रहश्लोक or संग्रहार्या,1 which summarise the discussion that precedes them; vide (pp. 6, 14, 18, 22-23, 26, 32, 34-35, 56 etc.). They are in all 146, of which five are आार्याs. Some of these contain the पूर्वपत and the उत्तरपद on a topic (e. g. pp. 124-125). All these संग्रहश्लोकs seem to be his own. In other cases he gives verses that are called भन्तरश्लोक or भन्तरारया (pp.28, 39, 46. 54, 85-86, 97, 109, 110, 136). The संग्रहश्लोकs summarise a preceding discussion, while भन्तरकोक: seem to be verses that add to the discussion. In one case (on p. 97) the अन्तरश्लोकs seem to be not his own (viz. the two verses 'अनुवाध्यमनुक्तवैव न विधेयमुदीरयेत्', 'विधेयोद् श्यभावोय"). He cites कारिकाs dealing with Alankara topics which are styled neither संग्रहशलोक nor अन्तरश्लोक (pp.74, 76, 77,108). They may be his own composition, He profusely quotes from the works of कालिदास, from भरत, भारवि, the ध्वन्यालोक. He also quotes उत्तरराम०, उ्गट, चन्द्रिका (Intro. verse 5), बालरामायय (pp. 40, 50), भल्लट, भामह, माघ, रत्नावलि, लोचन, वक्रोकिजीवित, वामन, वेणीसंहार, विद्धशालभजिका (p. 85), हर्षचरित and refers to हृदयदर्पण (Intro. verse 4). As the views of the व्यक्तिविवेक are summarised by the भलक्कारसर्वस्व it is earlier than about 1100 A.D. and as it quotes the बालरामायया and विद्धशालभजिका and criticizes the वक्रोक्तिजीवित and the लोचन (p. 19, where a passage from लोचन on p. 38-39 is quoted) he is later than 1020 A. D. It is supposed by सरस्वतीतीर्थ, गोविन्दठक्कुर and other commentators of the काव्यप्रकाश that मम्मट in the 5th उल्लाम combats the view of the व्यक्तिविवेक though he does not name the latter. The passage of the काव्यप्रकाश (V. p. 252 beginning with ननु वाच्यादसम्बद्धं तावन्न प्रतीयते quoted above on p. 249n closely resembles the ग्यक्तिबिबेक (pp.15 and li1). Further,

  1. On p. 98 there are three संग्रहश्लोकs of which the first (येन यस्याभिसम्बन्धो दूरस्थेनापि तेन सः । पदानामसमासानामानन्तयमकारखम् ॥) appears to be a quotation. The तन्त्रवार्तिक on जै. HI. 1. 27 states 'दूरस्थत्वादशक्योऽस्योपसंहार इति चेत् न । यस्य येनार्थसम्बन्ध इति न्यायाव'। p. 744 (Anan. ed.). The editor gives the whole verse as 'यस्य येनार्थसम्बन्यो दूरस्पेनापि तस्य सः । भर्थतो व्समर्थानामानन्त्थमकारयम् ॥'. The भभिनबमारती vol. I. p. 210 mentions this न्याय 'तथापि यस्य मेनार्थसम्पन्य इत्यर्यंक्रम भादतंष्यो न शब्द इति'.
