172 EXPLANATORY NOTES
tion on reading. The reader should observe these Rītis with
proper intonations on the Kākus while reading poetry, so that the
meaning may be readily understood by the listener.
l. 10. Kākuvakrokti is one of the Śabdālaṅkāras according
to Rudraṭa. Yāyāvarīya disagrees with him, but follows the
definition of Ānandavardhana who seems to think that Kāku is a
variety of intonation which serves to bring out only that sense of a
passage, intended by the authors to convey, and no other.
(For further information, see pp. 212–213 of Dhvanyāloka and
Locana).
l. 15. Again, a sentence may be used with two varieties of
Kāku, namely साकाङ्क्ष and निराकाङ्क्ष. In such cases the question
raised by the first Kāku will be answered by the second. The
verse यदि मे वल्लभा etc. is an example of this kind. Here, a Nāyikā
replies to her friend who had put a question as to whether her
lover could be made sympathetic towards her by the Dūtī whom
she had sent. The reply of the Nāyikā is with आक्षेपगर्भकाकु and,
therefore, is साकाङ्क्ष. आक्षेप is denoted by the काकु which bears an
express censure on the Dūtī who had become faithless to her.
The same verse may also denote विधि and, therefore, become
निराकाङ्क्ष. Vidhi is indicated in the sense that in case the Dūtī
faithfully carries out her wishes the Nāyaka will certainly be
drawn towards her (Nāyikā).
l. 18. प्रश्नगर्भा । The verse गत: स कालो etc. is found in the Bāla-
rāmāyaṇa of Rājaśekhara (3. 2). This verse may be interpreted
with two kinds of Kāku, namely, प्रश्न and उत्तर thus making it both
साकाङ्क्ष and निराकाङ्क्ष. In this verse an eagle tells his wife that
those days when Rāvaṇa was everywhere successful are gone,
and that evil days have dawned on him so that his enemies are
crowned with success. Here two different intonations on the part
of the speaker on the words गत: and वर्तन्ते will indicate both a
question and its answer.
l. 21. वितर्क etc.—The third and last variety of Kāku is
illustrated in the verse नवजलधर, etc. Each pāda of this verse will
be read differently with two Kākus denoting doubt and decision,
and thus make the sentence both साकाङ्क्ष and निराकाङ्क्ष ।
l. 26. These three Kākus each with two varieties are invariably
