50 HISTORY OF SANSKRIT POETICS

Rasa summarised on the Rasa sutra ay अभिनव (G. O.S. vol. I. p. 274) will be dealt with in part II. Some of his other views are : (a) Acc. to लोल्लट rasas are numerous,1 but only eight (or nine) are to be represented (on the stage) in accordance with the well-known theory of traditional works; (b) It appears that लोल्लट did not read the verse (यः कश्चित्कार्यवशाद्गच्छति पुरुषः प्रकष्टमध्वानम्। तत्राप्यक्कच्छेदः कर्तव्यः पूर्ववत्तज्: ॥ G. O. S. 18. 32, Ch. 20. 30, K. M. 18, 34);ª (c) A. B. (vol. II. p. 134) mentions the view of लोल्लट and गोपाल on ध्रुवाताल; (d) on नाट्य० 13. 1 अभिनव refers to भट्टलोल्लट's view; (e) अभिनव states (18.14) that लोल्लट read the verse as अङ्क इति गूढ शब्दो भावैश्च रसैश्च रोहयत्यर्थान्,' while अभिनव reads रूढिशष्दो; (f) on नाट्य० (G. O. S. 18.60, Ch. ed. 20. 63) A. B. mentions the view of लोल्लट that a नाटिका is षट्पदा, while शङ्कूक held that it was अरष्टपदा;3 (g) on 21. 29 (Ch.ed.) Lollata's view is that portions of the life and doings of the hero of a patākā are called अनुसन्धि.4 From the above it will be clear that Lollata also must have composed a commentary on most of the chapters of the नाट्यशाख Such as 6, 13, 18, 21 (if not on all). Two verses of Lollata are quoted by हेमचन्द्र in his काव्यानुशा- सन (chap. V. p 215) 'यस्तु सरिदद्रिसागरनगतुरगपुरारिवषने यत्नः । कविशक्तिख्यातिफलो विततधियां नो मतः प्रबन्धेषु ॥ यमकानुलोमतदितरचक्रादिभिदा हि रसविरोधिन्यः । अरभिमानमात्रमेतद्गङ्डरिकादिप्रवाहो वा ॥.' The first verse is ascribed to आपराजिति by the काव्यमीमांसा (p. 45) and the second is quoted by सोमेश्वर from लोल्लट in his commentary on the काव्यप्रकाश (folio 105b) and by नमिसाधु on रुद्रट (III. 59) without naming the author. The का. प्र. सक्केत of माशिक्यचन्द्र (Mysore ed. p. 82) who wrote in 1159-60 A. D. says that the details of the theory of rasa should be learnt from the रसविवरण of लोल्लट and others and on p. 147 hits off all three (लोल्लट, शङ्कक, and नायक) as follows : न वेत्ति यस्य गाम्भीर्यं गिरितुक्रोपि लोल्लटः। तत्तस्य रसपाथोधेः कथं 1 तेनानन्त्येपि पार्षदप्रसिद्धथतावतां प्रयोज्यत्वमिति यद्धट्टलोल्लटेन निरूपितं तदवलेपनापरामृश्येत्यलम् (१) । अ. भा. vol. I. p. 299; should we read अवलेपनापरामष्ट्येत्यलम् ? This last would mean 'because he (लोल्लट) was touched with vanity.' 2 अत एवं तद्द्ट्ट्लोल्लटाबैन पठितमेव। भ. भा. vol. II. p. 423. 3 घटपदेयं नाटिकेति संग्रहानुसारिणो भट्लोल्लटाद्याः, श्रीशङ्ककस्तु प्रयुक्तमेत- दित्यमिधायाष्टधेति व्याचष्टे। अ्र. भा. vol. II. p. 436. 4 तथा लोल्लटाधास्तु मन्यन्ते परार्थे साधयितव्ये पताकानायकस्येतिव सभागा अनुसन्धय: । p. 17 of अ. भा. vol. III (GOS).
