EPILOGUE

With Mahimabhatta's Vyaktiviveka, the controversy over

Anandavardhana's dhvani-theory is effectively at an end. The

next major work of Kashmiri Alamkarasāstra is Mammata's

Kāvyaprakāśa (c. 1100 AD). Mammata accepts the central role

of Anandavardhana's dhvani in poetry, argues for the existence

of suggestion (vyañjana) as a distinct mode of verbal

expression, and adopts Anandavardhana's tripartite

classification of poetry (into dhvani-, gunībhūtavyangya-, and

citra-kavya); while he draws on the works of many earlier

theorists in formulating his system of poetics, Mammata is

unambiguously a follower of Anandavardhana. The Kavyaprakasa

proves to be an extraordinarily influential work, and spawns

many imitators. While later Ālamkārikas disagree with Mammata

and with one another on many matters of detail, nearly all

accept Mammata's treatment of the basic issues of

Alamkārasastra as essentially valid.1 After Mammata, the

existence of dhvani and vyanjana are treated as settled facts.

The "scientific revolution" which began with Anandavardhana's

work is at an end, and a new period of "normal science"

ensues .

Yet, while the central tenets of Anandavardhana's poetic

and semantic theory gain virtually universal acceptance among

1Although a few alternative traditions (most notably that pioneered by Bhoja -- cf. above, Chapter One, p. 3) persist outside of Kashmir for some time before Alamkarasastra along the lines of Mammata's throughout the subcontinent. Kavyaprakasa gains acceptance

522

the post-Mammata Alamkarikas, the approach these later

theorists take to literary analysis is strikingly at odds with

what Anandavardhana himself seems to have to envisioned as the

proper role for Alamkāraśāstra. Criticism of existing

literary works as functionally unified wholes is wholly

neglected; discussion focuses almost entirely on the operation

of dhvani and other literary features at the level of the

individual verse. Rasa-directedness is widely accepted as an

ideal, but little or no attention is devoted to examining the

concrete techniques by which individual verses may be

effectively integrated into larger order textual units which

convey a single predominant rasa. These Ālamkārikas are

mainly interested in providing a precise account of the

semantic processes involved in poetic expression, along with

an exhaustive and logically ordered taxonomy of the

subvarieties of these processes and of the elements which may

be conveyed by them; attempts to evaluate the aesthetic

effectiveness of existing works, and to formulate principles

which might guide future poets in composing aesthetically

effective works -- both of which played a major role in the

Dhvanyaloka -- are marginalized. Änandavardhana's work

initiated major transformation in the field of

Alamkārasāstra, but the ultimate results of this

transformation are far from what Anandavardhana himself seems

to have intended.

In conclusion, let us briefly reexamine the main points

Page 532

524

ought ultimately to subserve.

By systematically applying concepts and methods drawn

from extra-poetic language theory to the analysis of poetic

language, Anandavardhana begins to bridge a terminological and

conceptual divide which had so far separated poetic theory and

linguistic philosophy. From this time forth, it comes to be

seen as necessary for Alamkarikas to give a precise and

philosophically defensible account of the semantic processes

by which poetic language conveys its meanings. Anxious to

defend himself against the charge that he is merely

redescribing phenomena dealt with by earlier theorists,

Ãnandavardhana argues that rasa and the other varieties of

unstated meaning (vastu and alamkara) he deals with under the

rubric of dhvani are conveyed by a semantic process so far

unrecognized by either Ālamkarikas or philosophers of

language -- what he calls vyañjanā ("suggestion" or

"manifestation"). The claim to have discovered a new mode of

verbal expression, however, places Anandavardhana in direct

conflict with all established schools of linguistic theory; he

is forced to expend a great deal of effort defending himself

against the objections of Mīmamsakas, grammarians, Naiyāyikas

and Buddhist logicians to the notion of vyañjana, and the

question of the existence or non-existence of vyañjana becomes

the major point of controversy among the Kashmiri Ālamkārikas

in the ensuing centuries.

Ānandavardhana's adoption of a rasa-centered,

Page 533

525

teleological model of textual coherence opens up new

possibilities in the area of literary criticism; it requires

that the aesthetic value of individual poetic elements be

judged in terms of their ability to enhance that rasa which is

the overall goal of the work in which they are employed, and

thereby gives the analysis of whole literary compositions a

relevance it did not hold for earlier Ālamkārikas.

Nevertheless, the careful attention to existing literary works

prompted by this new critical orientation creates problems for

Ānandavardhana. While many celebrated poetic works can be

shown to be rasa-centered, there are others which clearly are

not so. Anandavardhana recognizes three possible classes of

poetry -- dhvani (in which suggested meaning is predominant),

gunībhutavyangya (in which suggested meaning, including rasa,

is subordinate), and citra (in which there is no suggested

meaning whatsoever) -- and, while his poetic teleology would

seem to require that all poetry (having suggested rasa as its

ultimate goal) should belong to the first class,

Anandavardhana is ultimately unwilling to dismiss either

gunībhutavyangya- or citra-kāvya as necessarily deficient.

There is a certain unresolved tension between theory and

observation evident in Anandavardhana's treatment of these

latter two types of poetry -- a tension which his successors

tend to resolve either by emphasizing the theory-driven demand

for rasa-centrality and rejecting non-rasa-directed literature

as defective or (in Kuntaka's case) by dismissing the demand

Page 534

526

for rasa-centrality and striving for sympathetic

appreciation of rasa-directed and non-rasa-directed literature

alike.

While certain key elements of Anandavardhana's poetic

theory -- especially his claims for vyañjana as previously

unrecognized and specifically poetic mode of expression --

prove to be extremenly controversial, his work produces a

sudden and radical transformation in Kashmiri Alamkārasāstra

which deeply affects all its practitioners; even those who

present themselves as critics of the dhvani-theory are, in

many important respects, following in Anandavardhana's

footsteps. Mukulabhatta and his pupil Pratiharenduraja strive

to defend existing linguistic and poetic theory against

Anandavardhana's charges of inadequacy, yet, in the course of

doing so, both end up modifying and elaborating the earlier

theories they defend so as to derive from them a satisfactory

account of the phenomena Anandavardhana finds to be of central

importance in poetry.2 Both admit the crucial role of

unstated meaning in poetry, and adopt Anandavardhana's

threefold categorization of such meaning (into vastu,

alamkara, and rasa); and both appear to concur in the most

important element of Anandavardhana's revaluation of poetics --

2Kuhn finds the same phenomenon to be common in periods of scientific revolution. Faced with the discoveries produced by adherents of a new scientific theory, impressive

defenders of established theory can and often do extend and modify their own theories so as to adequately account for these discoveries (cf. Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, op. cit., pp. 71, 78 and 156-7).

Page 535

527

his understanding the communication of rasa as the ultimate

goal toward which poetic works are, or ought to be, directed.

By implication, it is for them Anandavardhana's work that

shows what is most valuable in poetry and that sets the

standard for what a poetic theory must be expected to explain.

In spite of the intense controversy regarding the

existence of Anandavardhana's "suggestion", the rasa-centered

model of aesthetic effectiveness he introduces gains instant

and near-universal acceptance among the Kashmiri Alamkarikas.

The one major exception to this general acceptance is Kuntaka,

but, in light of the almost total neglect of his work by later

Ālamkärikas, he may be regarded as an exception that proves

the rule. While Kuntaka regards rasa as an element of major

importance in literature, the communication of rasa is always,

for him, only one among several possible and equally valid

aesthetic goals a poet may seek to achieve in his work. He

rejects Anandavardhana's teleological approach to poetic

analysis, and avoids the heated disputes over interpretive

processes raised in connection with it. His work, whatever

its intrinsic merits, is largely irrelevant to what have

become for his contemporaries the central questions of poetic

theory, and, seemingly as a consequence, he receives little or

no attention from later Ālamkārikas.

Anandavardhana's rasa-centered poetic teleology is not

only generally accepted by later Ālamkārikas: its implications

are carried much farther than Anandavardhana himself was

Page 536

528

prepared to take them. As we have seen, while Anandavardhana

sees rasa-directedness as a common feature of great poetic

works, and recommends that future poets employ it in their own

compositions, he is ultimately unwilling to insist on it as an

essential requirement for all poetry; he recognizes that there

are works in which rasa is subordinate or altogether absent,

and is not prepared to summarily dismiss all such works as

defective. In tenth and eleventh century Kashmir a consensus

begins to develop that rasa-directedness is indeed an

essential property of all poetic works -- is, in fact, the

defining and constitutive property of poetry. This consensus

cuts across other lines of controversy: Bhattanayaka and

Mahimabhatta, two of Anandavardhana's most determined critics,

and Abhinavagupta, his most celebrated defender, all hold this

view.

Along with a Mimamsa-derived understanding of texts as

hierarchically ordered, functionally unified wholes,

Ãnandavardhana brings into play in his poetic theory some of

the key interpretive concepts developed by the Mimamsakas in

their interpretation of the Vedas. In his work, the

distinctions between primary and subordinate meanings, between

intended (vivaksita) and unintended (avivaksita) meanings, and

between subject (anuvāda) and predicate (vidhi), suddenly take

on a major importance in the analysis of poetic language -- an

importance which they continue to bear in the works of

Ānandavardhana's sucessors. Both Mukulabhatta and

Page 537

529

PratIharenduraja expand the role of Mimamsa techniques and

concepts in poetic theory. Mukulabhatta asserts the identity

of the process by which poetic language conveys unstated

meanings with that by which non-poetic language conveys such

meanings -- the process of figurative expression [laksanā],

already fully explained by the Mimamsakas. Pratīhārendurāja

reinterprets many of Udbhata's definitions and categories in

Mīmamsa terms, and explains the cognitive process involved in

the interpretation of many of Udbhata's alamkaras in terms of

the Mīmamsa-derived concepts of intermediate and final

sentence meaning (avantara-vakyartha and paryavasana) .

This systematic application of Mimamsa concepts and

methods to the analysis of literary language is, for the most

part, embraced and extended by the later Kashmiri Ālamkārikas.

Kuntaka, again, is a major exception; he resists the trend

toward viewing literary texts through the lens of Mimamsa

interpretive theory. But, again, the near total neglect of

Kuntaka by his contemporaries and successors reveals the basic

irrelevance of his work to the problems of poetic analysis as

they are understood by the Alamkarikas of tenth and eleventh

century Kashmir. Abhinavagupta, arguing for the extraordinary

(alaukika) status of poetic language, attempts to exempt it

from the requirements of propositional coherence imposed by

Mimamsa theory, but this attempt comes to naught. The

application of Mīmamsa-derived standards of sentential

coherence to poetry continues unabated in the works of

Page 538

530

Mahimabhatta, Mammata and, following him, most of the later

Ālamkārikas.

The most important features of Anandavardhana's

revolutionary poetic theory -- his adoption of a Mīmāmsā-

derived, teleological model of textual coherence, his

arguments for the existence of suggestion as a distinct and

specially poetic mode of expression, and his application of

MImamsa interpretive concepts and methods to the analysis of

literary texts -- ultimately gain general acceptance, and serve

as the basis for most later work in the field of

Alamkāraśāstra. Yet, somewhat ironically, the growing

importance of Mimamsa-based textual analysis gradually shifts

the role of Alamkarasastra away from. what it was for

Ānandavardhana. Attention comes to be more and more focussed

on providing a precise explanation of the cognitive processes

by which poetic meaning is understood. Those tasks which

Änandavardhana seemed to regard as the most pressing business

of Alamkarasastra -- the use of teleological, rasa-based

analysis as a tool for literary criticism, and the outlining

of principles to guide poets in composing rasa-directed

works -- are for the most part pushed aside by the increasing

concern with the analysis of interpretive processes.
