394 HISTORY OF SANSKRIT POETICS

Dandin (II. 227) refers to the words of the महाभाष्य in discussi- ng the verse लिम्पतीव. The definition of विभावना (क्रियायाः प्रतिषेधेपि) given by the काव्यप्रकाश is based on the view of grammarians that 'kriyā' means 'hetu'. Vāmana deals in his 5th adhikaraņa with the grammatical purity of words and Bhamaha also (in VI. 30-61) does the same. Logic (Tarkaāstra) deals with the power of words (abhidha). The same subject is discussed in the अभिधावृत्तिमातृका, शब्दव्यापारविचार, त्रिवेषिका, वृत्तिवार्तिक by writers on alankara. Alankarikas regard anumana as a figure of speech. The figure काव्यलिन also is suggested by तर्क phraseology. Mahimabhațta wrote व्यक्तिविवेक for establishing that ध्वनि comes under anumana and Sankuka appears to have held that rasa is anumeya and the vibhāvas are anumapaka. The Sankhya philosophy had not much influence over alankāra, but in dealing with Nāyaka's theory of rasa frequent reference is made to सत्त्व, रजस् and तमस् (as on vol. I. p. 279 of अभिनवभारती and p. 283 तत एव कापिलद:खस्य चाशल्यमेव प्रायत्वेनोक्तं रजोवृत्ति वदद्गिः). The word भोग or भोगीकृति seems to be suggested by the सांख्य doctrine that पुरुष is भोका and not कर्ता. The पूर्वमीमांसा system also has lent some doctrines to अल- शारशाखत्र. The काव्यप्रकाश view (सङ्केतित ... जातिरेव वा) is the पूर्वमीमांसा view (भाकृतिस्तु क्रियार्थत्वात्' जै. I.3. 33). The views 'तात्पर्यार्थोपि केषुचित्' (काव्यप्रकाश II.) and 'तात्पर्याख्यां वृत्तिमाङ्ठु: पदार्थान्वयबोधने' साहित्य- दर्पण II. 20 are derived from the अभिहितान्वयवाद which was suppo- rted by Kumārila and Pārthasārathimiśra in his Nyāyaratna- mala .. The अभिददितान्वयवाद and अन्विताभिधानवाद are mentioned in the काव्यप्रकाश II. and V. The काव्यप्रकाश mentions 'लोहितोष्णीषा छत्विजः प्रचरन्ति', 'यत्परः शब्दः स शब्दार्थः' (V. pp. 225-227) which are topics discussed in the पुर्वमीमांसा. Vide जै. III. 8.12 for the first. The words 'फलं संवित्िः प्रकटता वा' in काव्यप्र. II p. 61 give expression respectively to the theories of प्रभाकर and कुमारिल. अर्थापत्ति is an alankara acc. to साहित्यदर्पण aud अलं. स .; it is regar- ded as a प्रमाख by पूर्वमीमांसा. परिसंख्या which is a well-known technical term in पूर्वमीमांसा (asin जै. I. 2. 34, III. 7, 33) is an अलक्कार according to रुद्रट, काव्यप्रकाश, साहित्यदर्पण and others. From the Vedanta some works like the चमत्कारचन्द्रिका, the मन्दारमरन्दचम्पू (9th बिन्दु), and रसगङ्गाधर (p. 23) quote the Upanisad' passage 'रसो वै सः' in order to describe the blissful 1. 'रसो वै सः। रसं ह्येवायं लब्धानन्दीभवति' तै. उप., बह्मानन्दवल्ली 7.

stage of Rasa realization. The काव्यप्रकाश describes रस as म्ह्मास्वादमिवानुभावयन् (vide p. 360 above). These writers regard रस, भानन्द and आात्मन as practically identical. The पृहदारएयकोपनिषद् (IV.3. 21) has the following very interesting passage 'तदथा प्रियया ख्निया संपरिष्वक्तो न बाह्यं किंचन वेद नान्तरमेवमेवायं पुरुषः प्राश्ेनात्मना संपरिष्वक्ो न बाहं किंचन वेद नान्तम्। तदा श्रस्यै तदाप्तकाम- मात्मकाममकामं रूपं शोकान्तरम् । अत्र पिताऽपिता भवति ... तीर्णो हि तदा सर्वान् शोकान् हृदयस्य भवति.' ब्रह्मसूत्र (I. 1. 12-19) deals with the passage of तै उप and others which speak of आनन्द मयात्मा.

Index of authors and works on Sanskrit Poetics

In the edition of 1923 works on abhinaya, music and kāmaśastra were generally excludcd, although in reports on the Mss, works on these subjects are often included under alankāraśāstra. Not all works on dramaturgy have been included. The Index is principally based on Aufrecht's Catalogus Catalogorum, on the first volume of the New Catalogus Catalogorum edited by Dr. Raghavan (which men- tions authors and works beginning with the letter alone) and on the same scholar's numerous papers on Al nkara, on Dr. Harichand's 'Kalidasa et L' Art Poetique de L' Inde', Dr. De's 'History of Sanskrit Poetics' vol. I. These works themselves except Dr. Raghavan's, are based on other catalogues of Mss. and Reports. Hence I had in many cases to consult the original catalogues such as the I. O. (India Office) catalogue, Mitra's Notices, the catalogue of the Mss. at the B. O. R. I. (Poona vol. XII); Govt. O. Mss. Library, Madras, vol. 22; Mss. cat. vol. VI of the Trivandrum Palace Library; Sarasvatī- mahal mss. Library at Tanjore, Cat. vol. 9 and the Reports of Buhler, Bhandarkar, Peterson and others. The entries in catalogues of Mss. are often meagre and misleading. The same work often appears under different names. The word rasa appears in namcs of works on medicine as well as in works on alankara. The word नाटसूत्र in the विवादरत्नाकर (p. 477) is a mistake for लाटसत्र (i. e. लाट्यायनश्रौतसूत्र I. 3. 19) as the quotation shows. Dr. Harichand enters ara in his list (on page 35) with a query. Instead of giving two separate lists for authors and works, one consolidated list is presented, the names of authors being put in thick type. I have probably omitted the names of a few commentators, particularly of the Kāvyaprakāśa. I have not given exhaustive references to all printed editions. Obvious abbreviations such as aay. for rTyaT are not mentioned here, as also those menticned in the general list of abbreviations. The principal abbrevintions employed in this index are :
