202 EXPLANATORY NOTES
युवतीरिव रूपमङ्ग काव्यं स्वदते शुद्धगुणं तदप्यतीव ।
विहितप्रणयं निरन्तराभिः सदलङ्कारविकल्पकल्पनाभिः ॥
यदि भवति वचश्च्युतं गुणेभ्यो वपुरिव यौवनवन्ध्यमङ्गनायाः ।
अपि जनदयितानि दुर्भगत्त्वं नियतमलङ्करणानि संश्रयन्ते ॥
Bhāmaha and Daṇḍin consider both Guṇa and Alaṅkāra equ-
ally important in poetry.
cf. न कान्तमपि निर्भूषं विभाति वनितामुखम् ॥ (Bhāmaha. 1–13.)
काश्चिन्मार्गविभागार्थमुक्ताः प्रागप्यलङ्क्रियाः । साधारणमलङ्कारजातमद्य प्रदर्श्यते ॥
(Daṇḍin. 2. 3)
Bharata, Ānanda and Rudraṭa observe that a poet should princi-
pally make an attempt to develop the Rasas in his composition.
Though Rājaśekhara is acquainted with the views of these writers,
he does not point out here the importance of Alaṅkāra, Rasa and
Dhvani in poetry, and his silence in this respect is due, very proba-
bly, to the fact that his professed object was to impart lessons on
elementary matters in this verse, rather than to waste his time in
scholastic discussions.
