classification of subjects. But the attribution of these four groups
of Alaṅkāras to four authors पुलस्त्य, औपकायन, पराशर and उतथ्य must
be an original contribution of Rājaśekhara. It is also possible
that Rājaśekhara and Rudraṭa followed a common source for
their materials which unfortunately does not exist now. In any
case it can safely be asserted that Rājaśekhara in the first 11
sections of the Kāvyamīmāṁsā closely follows the arrangement
of topics as found in the first 10 chapters of Rudraṭa's Kāvya-
laṅkāra. That Rājaśekhara was well acquainted with Rudraṭa's
work, is borne out by the fact that he quoted from Rudraṭa's
work in several places in his Kāvyamīmāṁsā. (Cf. p. 16. l. 5
and p. 31. l. 9 of K. M. with Rudraṭa 1. 18 and 2. 16).
l. 11. उभयालंकारिकम्। Two kinds of उभयालंकार seem to have been
treated in this chapter. The two Alaṅkāras संकर and संसृष्टि with
their varieties may be called उभयालंकारs, because they are known when
there is a combination of two or more Alaṅkāras belonging either
to Śabda or Artha. Rudraṭa deals with these अलंकारs in the 10th
chapter of his Kāvyālaṅkāra after अर्थश्लेष. Rājaśekhara also
takes up this subject in the same order after अर्थश्लेष. Another
kind of उभयालंकार which may form the subject matter of this chapter
includes those Alaṅkāras which beautify the poetry belonging to
both Śabda and Artha. Alaṅkāras such as Upamā, Punaru-
ktavadābhāsa, Samuccaya, Sahokti, Śleṣa, Vyatireka, Rūpaka,
Virodha, etc. come under this category. Cf. Rudraṭa's, K. A.
4. 32-34 and Udbhaṭa's, K. A. S. S. (gos. ed.) pp. 37-40.
There is another kind consisting of 24 उभयालंकारs which is
dealt with by Bhojadeva in the 4th chapter of his Sarasvatī-
kaṇṭhābharaṇa. These Alaṅkāras do not, however, form the
subject matter of this chapter because Bhoja's उभयालंकार includes
only Upamā, Rūpaka etc. which are already included in the
Aupamya group under the authorship of औपकायन in the previous
chapter of this work.
l. 11. वैनोदिकम्। Kāmadeva is mentioned as the author of
this chapter which deals with the Vinodas. Vātsyāyana in his
Kāmasūtra (1-4) gives a list of Vinodas for an accomplished
citizen or Nāgaraka who is required to indulge in these Vinodas in
the company of their ladies or dancing girls. The treatises Kandar-
pacūḍāmaṇi, etc. dealing with the subject Kāma also explain
the nature of these Vinodas for romantic couples. They are:—
