l. 15. अष्टादशाधिकरणी । This is a compound word by Dvigusamāsa :
अष्टादशानामधिकरणानां समाहारः ।

also the शास्त्रसंग्रह in Amara's कविकल्पलता. Though the work contains
18 chapters, only 15 headings are here enumerated ].
l. 16. प्रकरणाधिकरणसमुद्देशः । Prakaraṇas are the sub-divisions of each
Adhikarana and they deal with the different topics coming under the
main subject of an Adhikaraṇa. It is to be understood by this remark
that Prakaraṇas of eighteen Adhikaraṇas in the Kāvyamīmāṃsā
are enumerated here. But contrary to this statement and to
the method adopted in the Kāma and the Artha s'āstras, we
find here enumerated only 15 subjects S'āstrasangraha, etc, of
the first Adhikarana Kavirahasya but not the Prakaraṇas of
other 17 Adhikaraṇas of the Kāvyamīmāṃsā. But it is to
be noted here that these 15 subjects cover all the 18 chapters
of the first Adhikarana. This difference in number between
the chapters and the subjects of the first Adhikarana requires
an explanation. It appears that in some places one subject
is treated of in more than one chapter and at others one chapter
deals with more than one subject. In this respect Rājaśekhara
differs from the method of the Kāma and the Arthas'āstras
while enumerating the Prakaraṇādhikaraṇas. In the enumeration
of these 15 subjects also he does not follow the exact order
adopted by him in the first Adhikarana. For example, वाक्यविधयः,
कविविशेषः and काकुप्रकाराः should go after पदवाक्यविवेक, and भुवनकोशः after
देशविभाग according to the order of the text. This deviation of
sequence in the enumeration may be explained by the fact that
probably Rājaśekhara did not anticipate this change when he was
engaged in composing the first chapter of this Adhikarana.
It may also be possible that Vātsyāyana and Kauṭilya did not
commit this mistake because probably they wrote their प्रकरणाधि-
करणसमुद्देश after the completion of their works.
