92 HISTORY OF SANSKRIT POETICS

(Paisaci). The 2nd half illustrates 'सर्वभाषाभिः'. Nobel in 'Fundations of Indian Poetry' p. 136 holds that this directly refers to भामह I. 28 (न वक्त्रापरवक्त्राभ्यां युक्का नोच्छवासवत्यपि। संस्कृतं संस्कृता चेष्टा कथापभ्रंशभाक तथा). Nobel begs the question. One may say on the contrary with equal reasons that aHg refers to the काव्यादर्श. Besides the verse of भामह is not clear. What does संस्कृतं refer to ? The latter half appears to mean Katha is desired to be in Sanskrit and may be also in Apabhramsa. arHg himself says that काष्य may be पद or गद्य, again it may be in Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabhramsa (I. 16). दशिडन् refers to a कलापरिच्छेद, which he contemplated writing, probably as a part of his काव्यादर्श (इत्थं कलाचतुष्षष्टिविरोधः साधु नीयताम्। तस्याः कलापरिच्छेदे रूपमाविर्भविष्यति।' III. 171).1 At one time eminent scholars thought that at- विचिति was Dandin's own work. छन्दोविचिति is, however, as shown by me in I. A. for 1911 p. 177, a name for the science of metrics and particularly for the Vedanga on metrics attributed to पिङगलनाग whois quoted even in the Sabarabhasya on जै. I. I. 5 (p.54,Anan.). The word छन्दोविचिति occurs even in कौटिल्य's अर्थशाख (I. 3. 1) and in Ap. Dh. S. II. 4.8.11. The Bulletin of the London S. of Ori. and Afri. studies vol. XXII part I p. 192 reviews the publication of a work called 'Chandoviciti-Text

1 Vide Mr. S. L. Katre's paper in I. H. Q. vol. 24 pp. 118-122, where he brings together certain quotations from जगद्धर's commentary on मालतीमाधव, which are not found in the current काव्यादर्श. On कामसूत्र I. 3. 16 enumerating the 64 कलाs, the जयमझगला commentary in explaining दुर्वाचकयोगा: (30th कला in the list) quotes a verse from the काव्यादर्श viz. दंष्रायद्धर्या प्राग्योद्राकूदमाम- म्ववन्तःस्थामुच्चित्षेप। देव ध्रुट्तिद्ध्यत्विक्स्तुत्यो युष्मान् सोऽव्यात्सर्पात्केतु: ॥. Here सर्पात् means गरुड and सर्पात्केतुः is विष्णु; देवद्रुह् means असुर and देव ... चित means 'destroyer of Asuras'. While explaining काव्यसमस्या- पूरख (which is कला No. 33 from the list of 64 kalas) जयमङला quotes from the काव्यावर्श a quarter of a verse viz. आश्वासं जनयति राजमुख्यमध्ये which is given for समस्यापूरण and points out how the remaining pādas were composed. It appears from these exa- mples that the जयमझला knew of the काव्यादर्श as containing a treat- ment of kalas. This would be the कलापरिच्छेद and a part of the काव्यादर्श. Mr. Katre cites these passeges from Jaymangala on Kamasutra in a paper read at the 15th session of the All India Oriental conference.
