284 HISTORY OF SANSKRIT POETICS

else. I must say that this latter alternative is not very likely, though not quite impossible. The अलं. स. (p. 159) quotes as an example of अनुक्तनिमित्ता विभावना the verse 'भङगलेखाम काश्मीर समाल- म्भनपिब्जराम् । अनलक्तकताम्राभामोष्ठलेखां च बिभ्रतीम् ।' which is उद्धट's example of विभावना (p.38 of काव्यालक्कार०). The K. M. सवस्व mentions four views about the alankara in this verse. जयरथ (p. 160) states that the text of सर्वस्व has been tampered with here, that the author of सर्वस्व, when he cites this verse in the साहित्यमीमांसा and comments on it, refers to two views only 'ग्रन्थकृतापि साहित्यमीमांसायामेत्छलोकविवृतौ पच्द्रयमेवोक्तम्। लेखक श्वास्य अ्रन्थस्य प्रतिपदमेव विपर्यासः कृतः।'. In the साहित्यमीमांसा this verse is cited on p. 47 after setting out Udbhata's definition of विभावना and it then remarks : 'अशलेखा ... बिभ्रतीम्' इत्यादि: संपाध न पिरत्वाधुपमानेन स्वा- भाविक स्य पिन्जरत्वादेरुपमेयस्याभेदाध्यवसायोऽतिशयोक्त्या द्रष्टव्यः ।." Therefore, is appears that the printed साहित्यमीमांसा is the साहित्यमीमांसा which जयरथ knew as composed by रुय्यक. The प्रतापरुद्रयशोभूषण (p. 11) mentions the view of a साहित्यमीगांसा as follows: प्रपन्चितं साहित्य- मीमांसायाम्। नायकगुराग्रथिता: सूक्तिस्रजः सुकृतिनामाकल्पमाकल्पन्ति-इति. I have not been able to trace this in the साहित्यमीमांसा (Tri. ed.), The date of रुय्यक can be easily determined. He quotes from the विक्रमाङ्कदेवचरित (composed about 1085 according.to Buhler) and criticizes the व्यक्तिविवेक and the काव्यप्रकाश. There- fore the सर्वस्व is later than 1100 A. D. He was teacher of मङ्गक,1 whose elder brother was the सान्धिविग्रहिक of जयसिंह of Kashmir (1128-1149 A. D.), as stated in श्रीकएठचरित 25.66. मङ्ट's श्रीकएठचरित was composed according to Buhler (K.Report p. 50) between 1135-1145 A, D. Therefore, if the quotations from the श्रीकएठचरित were originally part of the वृत्ति, the स्वस्व was composed about 1150 A.D. The सर्वस्व cites (p. 118) the verse असमाप्तजिगीषस्य, which occurs in the राजतर० (IV. 441), but it is quoted also in अभिनवभारती vol. I. p. 305, and therefore no chronological conclusion should be drawn from this, Dr. De

1. In श्रीकएठचरित 25. 15 मङ states shat his elder brother g held a meeting of learned men from time to time and verses 48ff state the names of about 30 men before whom the ओीकरठचरित was read ont, among, whom were सुहल and तेजकस Ambassadors to Kashmir court from king गोविन्दचन्द्र of Kanoj and अपरादित्य ruler of कोङया. Verses 29-30 highly praise रुय्यक as गुड़-
