as the teacher of Pāṇini in the Kathāsaritsāgara. Pāṇini and
Piṅgala are the Sūtrakāras on grammar and prosody.
Vyāḍi is the author of a work called "Saṅgraha" which is
quoted by Patañjali and Bhartṛhari. cf. संग्रहो व्याडिकृतो लक्षश्लोकसंख्याको
ग्रन्थ इति प्रसिद्धिः (Nāgeśa's Uddyota on Mahābhāṣya Kaiyaṭa 1-1-1).

Rājaśekhara deals in the following three chapters with the
subject of शब्दार्थहरण or plagiarism of both words and ideas. It is in-
teresting to note that no author before Rājaśekhara had dealt this
subject with such a wealth of detail as is done here. Only
Vāmana and Ānandavardhana touched this subject and warned
the poets to be very careful in ridding themselves of this pernicious
practice. It is, therefore, difficult to discover the source of Rāja-
śekhara's information. Among later writers, Kṣemendra treats
of this subject in his Kavikaṇṭhābharaṇa with different details,
while Hemacandra incorporates all these three chapters in his
commentary on the Kāvyānuśāsana. (pp. 8-10.)

प्रबन्ध or lengthy poem are not cited in this connection. The view
attributed here to the Ācāryas, is traceable in Ānandavardhana's
work as well as in the commentary thereon.

meanings are plagiarised in the second verse मा गाः पान्थ etc.
ll. 13-19. An example of borrowing of a part of a द्व्यर्थ word
in the same sense is given in these two verses. The second line
