344 HISTORY OF SANSKRIT POETICS

about 90 matters in which बोधिसत्त्व became proficient are enumerated. In the context where faenaaq is sandwiched bet- ween Vedangas and several other lores, क्रियाकल्प can only mean श्राद्धकल्प, particularly when the word यशञकल्प precedes. Dr. Raghavan himself points out that the काव्यादर्श employs the word क्रियाविधि (in I. 9). Then, as Dandin refers to what former writers did for the व्युत्पत्ति of people, why does Dr. Raghavan not say that क्रियाविवि was the name of the शास्त्र ? For reasons of space I do not pursue this matter much further. I do not accept the new name for the { which he propounds as used in olden times. It has further to be noted that five great com- mentators of the भागवतपुराण X. 45.36 have the reading (in the list of 64 कलाS) क्रिय।विकल्प instead of क्रियाकल्प. Thus the whole edifice of क्रियाकल्प being the ancient name of the science of Poetics is raised on rather slippery foundations, viz. a doubtful reading क्रियाकल्प. श्रीधर expressaly states that his enumeration is based on शैवतन्त्र (and not on the कामसूत्र). The kalas have been variously given from ancient times. The ara itself (I. 3.17) states that पान्चाल (बाभ्रव्य) proclaimed another set of 64 kalas. The कामसूत्र states (I. 3. 17-18) 'पाऊ्वालिकी च चतुःषष्टि- रपरा। तस्या: प्रयोगाननन्ववेत्य सांप्रयोगिके वच्यामः ।'. Here the meaning of aer is different, as it means 'different modes of sexual enjoyment'. सांप्रयोगिक is the 2nd अधिकरण of कामसूत्र.Vide 'तदान्ध्रीषु प्रायेगेति संवेशनप्रकारा बाभ्रवीयाः' II. 6 21. कामसूत्र I. 1. 10 mentions a work of पान्चाल बाभ्रव्य in 7 अधिकरणs on कामशाख. Vide I. H. Q. vol. VIII pp. 542-548 for different lists of kalās (Prof. Chinta- haran Chakravarti), I. H. Q. vol. V. pp. 88 ff (Dr. Acharya), J.R. A. S. 1914 p.355, the कलाविलास of क्षेमेन्द्र who furnishes two different lists in the 4th and 10th (verse 40) cantos. The ना्यशार appears to presuppose 64 kalas (34. 44, 35.60).In the वासवदत्ता (p. 140 of Hall's ed.) there is a reference to 64 कलाS. 5 The topics of the अलक्कारशास्त्र. The next question is to consider the problems with which the science of Poetics grapples. In part I when describing the contents of several works these topics have been more or less indicated as regards each individual work. Here all these topics will be brought निर्घएटौ निगमे पुराये इतिहासे वेदे व्याकरये निरुक्ते शिक्षार्यां छन्दसि यज्ञकल्पे ज्योतिषि सांख्ये योगे क्रियाकल्पे वशेषिके वैशिके अर्थविद्यार्यां बार्हस्पत्ये' &c.
