KĀVYĀDARSA 93

zur Sanskrit Metrik, edited by Dr. Schlingloff from a single fragment found in central Asia (Turfan). I have not been able to secure a copy. It may further be noted that chapters 14-15 of the नाव्यशास (K.M edition=15-16 of Ch. ed.) deal with numerous metres and the colophon at the end of the 15th chap. (in G. O. S. ed.) is इति भारतीय-नाट्यशास्त्रे छन्दोविचितिर्नामाध्याय: ys4V :. The following are among the authors and works not quoted by name: पतअ्जलि's महाभाष्य is quoted as आप्तभाषित 'नोपमानं तिङन्तेनेत्यतिकरम्याप्तभाषितम्' (काव्या. II. 227); भरत's नाट्यशासत्र seems to be referred to as another school (आगमान्तर) 'यच्च सन्ध्यङ्गवृत्यअलक्षयाधा- गमान्तरे। व्यावर्णितमिदं चेष्टमलङ्कारतयैव नः॥' (II. 367). For सन्ध्यङ्, वृत्त्यक् and लक्षय see chapters 21, 22, 17 of the नाट्यशास्त्र (Ch. ed.). In another place दएडी says almost in the same way as भामह (I. 24 quoted above) 'मिश्राषि नाटकादीनि तेषामन्यत्र विस्तरः' (I. 31). He refers in general terms to former Acaryas or learned men; 'ya- शास्त्राषि संहृत्य' (I. 2 .; this is a common statement with writers; compare 'समाहृत्यान्यतन्त्राणि' अमर०); सूरय: occurs at I. 9 (former sages explained the body of poetry and its ornaments) and in II. 7 (इति वाचामलङ्कारा दशिंता: पूर्वसूरिभिः); कि तु बीजं विकल्पानां पूर्वाचार्ये: प्रदर्शितम्' II. 2 and in 'एता: षोडश निर्दिष्ाः पूर्वाचायैंः प्रहेलिकाः' III.106. He refers to the opinions of other writers on Poetics as केषांचित् or कैश्षित (II. 227; I. 79) and एके (II. 268 about the definition of लेश). He quotes a half verse लिम्पतीव तमोक्गानि वर्षतीवाञ्जनं नभः (II. 226) and holds an elaborate discussion on it, pointing out that some writers were misled into regarding that verse (well- known even in Dandin's day) as an example of 34HT (as the word {a occurs in it thrice), but that the verse is an example of उत्प्रेक्षा (in the first half where two इवs occur). This discussion is pointedly referred to by प्रतीहारेन्दुराज on उद्धट (p. 26). The verse occurs in the मृच्छकटिक and also in two of the dramas discovered and ascribed to Bhāsa by M.M. Ganpatiśāstri, viz. चारुदत्त I. 19 and बालचरित I, 15. दएडी refers to कापिलड (III. 175), to सुगत (III. 174) and to न्याय which is called ह्ेतुविधा by him (III. 173). In the शार्ङ्गधरपद्धति (No. 174) and in जहय's सूक्तिमुक्तावली P. 45 No. 74 a verse of राजशेखर is quoted which makes दएडी the au- thor of three works 'त्रयोऽमयस्रयो वेदास्त्यो देवास्त्रयो गुणाः। त्रयो दशिडप्रबन्धाश्व त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्रताः ॥'. Various scholars have taxed their ingenuity to find o it these three works. All that the verse means is that three compositions of Dandin are well-known in all the worlds
