Kohala is one of them and a good deal has already been said about him above (pp. 24-25). He appears to have written on all topics of नाट्यशास्त्रं especially on music, acting and dance. See my paper on 'the fragments of Kohala' in the proceedings of the 6th Session of the All India O. Conference at Patna pp. 577-580. Mr. Kavi (in J. Andhra H. R. S. vol. III. at p. 24) says that the सक्गीतमेरु of कोहल is not now available except the chapter on ताल and अमिनय. It was Kohala who started the definitions of Uparupa- kas like सट्टक (नाट्यदर्पण p. 25 and अभिनव vol. II.p. 407). That the Aubhatas thought that the verse रसा भावा (नाव्यशास्त्र 6.10) puts down the elements of the historionic art at eleven according to the view of कोहल has already veen stated (p.24 n. 2). A. B. very frequently mentions the views of Kohala and quotes his verses also. On नाव्य 9.4-6 (vol. II p.26) Kohala is said to be नृत्ताचार्यं (शून्यभा- स्वरविद्युदाद्यभिनयविषये नृत्ताचार्यप्रवाहसिद्ध: कोहललिखितोपि हस्तः सकतो भवतीति). His views are mentioned on ra0 9. 126 (vol II. p. 55), on 12. 2-3 (vol. II. p.130), vol. II. p. 142 (about a धरुवाताल being called सुमद्र), vol. II. p. 144 (modes of moving about called नर्तनक and उत्फुल्लक in रौद्ररस), vol. II. p. 146 (a लय called जम्भटिका), vol. II. p. 151, on नाव्य 12.113 (vol. II p.155 about gaits called खञ्जक, हेला, विलम्बित), on नाव्य 18. 1 (vol. II. p. 407, saying that if the word प्रयोगत: is properly interpreted, then तोटक, स्टक, रासक and other auqas will be included), on 18. 7-8 (vol. II: p. 410) Kohala separately named several varieties of plays, but they are practically included in the definitions of the ten रूपकs); on 18. 14 (vol. II. pp. 416-17, the रूपक called अकू is of three kinds acc. to कोहल from whom 2t verses are quoted), on 18. 26 (vol. II. p. 421 कोहल spoke of five अर्थोपच्षेपकs), vol. II. p. 434 (quotes an आर्या from कोहल about विष्कम्भक), vol. II. p. 452 (कोहल's view 'शृङ्गारहास्यकरुणैरिह कैशिकी स्यात्' is opposed to भरत's), vol. II p. 459 (two आर्याs of कोहल quoted on वीथी), vol. II. p. 133 (an श्रनुष्टभ् of कोहल on दविपदी is quoted. On p. 72 of अ. भा. vol. III. G. O. S. it is said that rūpakas are of many varieties, acc. to Kohala on the basis of the languages employed and that Bharata must be regarded as holding the same view since he accepts a play called Saindhavaka composed in the Saindhava speech ((तेन दशरूपकस्य यद्दाषाकृतं वैचित्र्यं कोहलादिभिरुकं तदिह मुनिना सैन्धवा-
