वषि in the भलं. स. he flourished about 1135-1145 A.D. For the mention of a com. called तिलकरस्न on the ग्यच्तिविवेक caused to be written by a king named चामुएडसिह on the banks of the river Sarayu, vide Prof. S. R. Bhandarkar's Report on the Search for mss. in Rajputana and Central India for 1904-5 and 1905-6, pp. 39-40 and 85-87. 24. The सरस्वतीकष्ठाभरण and शु्गारप्रकाश of भोज. The first work has been published several times (e.g. by Mr. Borooah, at Benares in 1887 and in the K. M. series 1934). In these pages reference is made to the K. M. edition of 1934 with the com. of रत्नेश्वर composed under king रामसिंह (on परिच्छेदs I-III) and of जगदर (on IV). The सरस्वतीकएठाभरण is a voluminous work, but it is more or less a compilation. It is divided into five परिच्छेदs. The first speaks of काव्यप्रयोजन, काव्यलक्षण, काव्यमेद, 16 dosas of pada, 16 of वाक्य and 16 of वाक्यार्थ, the 24 गुखs of शब्द and the same number in वाक्यारथ; in the second परि० the author treats of 24 शब्दालक्कारs such as जाति, रीति, वृत्ति, छाया, मुद्रा, गुम्फना, शय्या, यमक, श्लेष, प्रहेलिका; in the third he defines and illustrates 24 अर्थाल्कारs, जाति, विभावना, हेतु, अहेतु, सूक्ष्म, उत्तर, विरोष, सम्भव, भन्योन्य, परिवृत्ति, निदर्शन, भेद, समाहित, भ्रान्ति, वितक, मीलित, स्मृति, भाव, प्रत्यक्ष, अनु- मान, उपमान, आगम, अर्थापत्ति and अभाव; in the fourth परि० he dwells upon 24 figures of both शब्द and अर्थ viz. उपमा, रूपक, साम्य, संशय, भपह्नुति, समाधि, समासोकि, उत्प्रेक्षा, अप्रस्तुतप्रशंसा, तुल्ययोगिता, लेश (the same as व्याजस्तुति), सहोक्ि, समुचय, आच्तेप, अर्थान्तरन्यास, विशेषोकि, परिकर, दीपक, क्रम, पर्याय, अतिशयोकि, श्लेष, भाविक, संसृहि; in the fifth he treats of rasas, bhāvas, heroes and heroines and their sub- divisions and characteristics, the five sandhis, मुख, प्रतिमुख etc., the four urttis भारती etc. In all there are 643 कारिकाs, some of which are taken bodily from the काव्यादर्श, ध्वन्यालोक and other works. For example, कारिकाs V. 5-6 are the same as काव्यादर्श I. 21-22, कारिका V. 3 (शृङ्गारी चेत्कविः) occurs (in ्व. p. 278). The first कारिका in the 5th परिच्छेद (रसोडमिमानोहड्ार: शजार इति गीयते) bears a close resemblance to certain verses of the भमिपुराय, (338. 1-4) quoted above on p. 8. Similarly, सर. क. II. 2, 39, 75 are much the same as the भभिपुराख 341. 18-19, 21 and 342. 10. Dr. De in J. R. A. S. 1923 pp. 537-549 holds that भोज borrows from the Agnipurana. I demur to his conclusion. He is wrong as to the verse मद्गारी चेत found both in सर. क. V. 3 and भमिपु. 338. 11, as shown above on pp. 7-8. The सरस्वतीकयठामरय quotes profusely from Dapdin's
