योगरढ; II dosas.of शब्द, भर्थ, वाक्य etc .; III. some devices which poets adopt to heighten the charm of their works, such as निर्वचन (exemplified in ्ईदृशैश्वरितैर्जाने सत्यं दोषाकरो भवान्); IV ten gunas; V figures af शब्द, अनुप्रास (छेका०, वृत्त्यनु०, लाटानु०), पुनरुकामास, यमक, चित्र and one hundred figures of sense; in the midst of the 5th मयूख, at the beginning of अर्थालक्कारs there is a fresh मङल; VI rasas, bhavas, the three ritis गौडी, लाटी and पान्चाली and the five वृत्तिs (मधुरा, प्रौढा, परुषा, ललिता and भद्रा); VII व्यजना and divi- sions of ध्वनि (as in the ध्वन्यालोक); VIII the divisions of गुणीभूत- व्यक््य; IX लक्षया; X अभिधा. The several editions differ to some extent in the number of verses. The author was also styled पीयूषवर्ष (shower of nectar) as the work itself shows 'चन्द्रालोकममुं स्वयं वितनुते पयूषवर्षः कृती' (I.2); 'भनेनासावाधः सुकविजयदेवेन रचिते चिरं चन्द्रालोके सुखयतु मयूखः सुमनसः ॥' (I. 16). The राकागम, com. on the चन्द्रालोक, by गागाभट्ट expressly says 'जयदेवस्यव पीयूषवर्ष इति नामान्तर म्' on the verse 6 at the end of the चन्द्रालोक in the Chowkhambha S.Series. जयदेव was the son of महादेव and सुमित्रा (महावेवः सत्रप्रमुखमखविधैकचत्रः सुमित्रा तन्मक्तिप्रसिदित- मतियस्य पितरौ। I. 16). जयदेव, the author of the drama प्रसभ्नराधव, was also the son of महादेव and सुमित्रा (vide प्रसन्न० I. 14 and 15). From the प्रसन्नराघव it appears that he was a great logician also (ननु अर्यं प्रमागाप्रवीणोपि श्रयते। ... सूत्रधार :- येषां कोमलकाव्यकौशलकलालीलावती भारती तेषा कर्कशतर्कवक्रवचनोद्वारेपि कि हीयते ॥ I. 18). This जयदेव is different from the जयदेव that was the author of the गीतगोविन्द, as the latter was the son of भोजदेव and रामादेवी and was an inhabitant of किन्दुबिल्व in the Birbhum district of Bengal (while जयदेव पीयूषवर्ष seems to have been a native of विदर्भ and not of Bengal). The author of the चन्द्रालोक is probably to be identi- fied with जयदेव named पक्षधर, author of the मययालोक (a work on logic). The date of the चन्द्रालोक cannot be fixed with certainty. The चन्द्रालोक mentions no author by name. But in the verse 'अक्गीकरोति यः काव्यं शम्दार्थावनलङकृती । अभसी न मन्यते कस्मादनुष्यमनलं कृती॥' (I.8), there is clearly a reference to the काव्यप्रकाशकारिका (तददोषौ शब्दायो संगुखावदलसकुती पुनः कापि). We saw above (p.275) that the अलक्वारसवस्व was the first to define the two figures विचित्र and विकल्प. The चन्द्रालोक defines both these figures and almost in the same words as the सर्वस्व ('तुल्यबलविरोधो विकल्पः' भलं. स. P. 198; 'विकल्प स्तुल्यबलयोर्विरोषश्वातुंरीयुतः' चन्द्रालोक V. 96; 'स्वविपरीतफलनिष्प- चमे प्रयत्नो विचिन्नम्' अलं. स. p. 168; विचित्रं चेतप्रयतन: स्यादविपरीतफलप्रदः ।
