काव्यमीमांसा (महाकवि राजशेखर - कवि-रहस्य एवं देश-विभाग सटीक)

TENTH ADHYĀYA 199

The word सद्यःकवीनाम् may be taken as one word meaning आशुकवि.
l. 25. पितुः etc. may be construed respectively with सुत etc.
Page. 52.
l. 5. यदुदासीनः etc. Others can judge their actions better than
the doers themselves.
l. 7. विप्लवेत्=fall into disorder or confusion. This has been
explained in the passage स्वकाव्यबन्धेन विनाश्यत्यपि।
ll. 12-28. Cf. Arthaśāstra 1-19 for the sub-divisions of
the day and night and the routine of daily duties the king is
required to follow. Also Kāmaśāstra. 1-4-16.
For प्रश्नोत्तरभेदन cf.
किं करोति कियत्कालं वेश्यावेश्मनि कामुकः। कीदृशं वदनं वीक्ष्य तस्याः कर्णायते क्षणम्॥
(p. 57. of the Kāvyamīmāṁsā).
Daṇḍin also introduces similar methods of प्रहेलिका in the third
chapter of his Kāvyādarśa. In the 18th line read काव्यसमस्या, धारणा-
मातृकाभ्यास instead of काव्यसमस्याधारणा, मातृकाभ्यासः।
These two functions are included by Vātsyāyana as two
distinct fine-arts or कलाs in the list of 64 Kalās (काम-सू. 1-3-16).
Jayamaṅgala comments upon the word धारणमातृका as follows:—
“धारणमातृकेति—श्रुतस्य ग्रन्थस्य धारणार्थं शास्त्रम्। यथोक्तम्—
‘वस्तु कोशस्तथा द्रव्यं लक्षणं हेतुरेव च।
इत्येते धारणादेव्याः पञ्चाङ्गरुचिरं वपुः॥’ इति॥
In the list of Kalās quoted by Gopendratippabhūpāla from
Bhāmaha's work, this word धारणामातृका also occurs, (see Vāmana
1-3-7) and the verse there should be read as:
धारणामातृका यन्त्रमातृका काव्यलक्षणम्। instead of
धोरणा मातृकायन्त्रं मातृकाकाव्यलक्षणम्। as printed there.
For an explanation of यन्त्रमातृका see Jayamaṅgala's commentary
on Kāmaśāstra 1-3-16.
चित्रा योगाः are those that are mentioned exhaustively by
Daṇḍin in the third chapter of his Kāvyādarśa, and by Rudraṭa
in the fifth chapter of his Kāvyālaṅkāra. Rājaśekhara also
proposes to treat this subject चित्र in the sixth Adhikaraṇa of
his Kāvyamīmāṁsā.
यावदार्ति क्रियमभिमन्येत। Here the word आर्ति denotes राग or इन्द्रियदौर्बल्य.
