काव्यालङ्कार (आचार्य भामह - भारतीय काव्यशास्त्र एवं अलङ्कार-सिद्धान्त मूल महाग्रन्थ सटीक)

36 BHĀMAHĀLAṄKĀRA
—युक्तं वक्रस्वभावोक्त्या in Verse 30. We may conclude by
saying that Bhāmaha is justified in attacking Vai-
darbha and Gauḍīya as two different types of poetry.
But if they are to be treated as two different types
of style or diction as recognised in later days we do
not know what he would say. In fact Daṇḍin who
belongs to the Vaidarbha school elaborately esta-
blishes the distinction and it is whole-heartedly fol-
lowed by all later rhetoricians. This verse is cited
in Lochana, page 208.
षट् काव्यदोषाः ।
नेयार्थं क्लिष्टमन्यार्थमवाचकमयुक्तिमत् ।
गूढशब्दाभिधानं च कवयो न प्रयुञ्जते ॥ ३७ ॥
37. Poets avoid the use of language vitiated
by the faults—Neyārtha, Klishṭa, Anyārtha, Avā-
chaka, Ayuktimat and Gūḍhaśabdābhidhāna.
37. Bhāmaha gives a list of six Doshas or
literary defects in this verse, and in Verse 47 later
on gives another list of 4 Doshas. Apart from these
he devotes the entire 4th chapter of this work to the
treatment of other faults, 15 in number. Later
rhetoricians add many more Doshas. Kāvyaprakāśa,
the standard work in poetics in the 7th Ullāsa which
is exclusively devoted to Doshas gives 4 kinds of
literary faults—पददोष, वाक्यदोष, अर्थदोष and रसदोष and
