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

234 EXPLANATORY NOTES
Construe:—आपातमारुतविलोड़ितसिन्धुनाथः हात्कारभीतपरिवर्तितमत्स्यचिह्नं याद-
वमहोदधिभीमवेलामुल्लङ्घ्य पवनसूनुरिव द्रोणाचलमुद्धरामि।
Here the two words सिन्धुनाथः and द्रोणाचलम् have double signi-
fication.
*[l. 6. After the verse वन्ध्या, MSS. of काव्यानुशासनविवेक add—
यथाच-यदिन्दोरन्वेति व्यसनमुदयं वा निधिरपा-
मुपाधिस्तत्रायं जयति जनिकर्तुः प्रकृतिता ।
अयं कस्संबन्धो यदनुहरते तस्य कुमुदः
विशुद्धाः शुद्धानां ध्रुवमनभिसन्धिप्रणयिनः ॥ ]
ll. 5–13. All MSS of this work cite only the first verse वन्ध्या
विश्वसृजः etc. to illustrate this Kavisamaya. Hemacandra who
borrows all these chapters in the same order as found here in his
Kāvyānuśāsanaviveka, includes the second verse यदिन्दोरन्वेति etc.
also. This verse is quoted from the Anargharāghava of Murāri.
It appears from this that Murāri, the author of the Anargha-
rāghava may be placed before Rājaśekhara (cir. 900 A. D.) on
the strength of this quotation from his work.
It is worth remembering in this connection that Murāri is
supposed to have flourished before 850 A. D. on the doubtful
testimony of a verse in the Haravijaya of Ratnākara. The verse
in question runs thus :—
अङ्के कुनाटक इवोत्तमनायकस्य
नाशं कविर्व्यधित यस्य मुरारिरित्थम् ।
आक्रान्तकृत्स्नभुवनः क्व गतः स दैत्य-
नाथो हिरण्यकशिपुः सह बन्धुवर्गैः ॥
38-68.
Although the words मुरारि, नाटक, कविः etc. do clearly refer to
the poet Murāri the author of the Anargharāghava drama, yet
the event mentioned in the verse does not agree with the theme
as found in the drama Anargharāghava, because Rāma, the hero
is not stated there as being killed in any of the Aṅkas as required
by this verse. It is, therefore, difficult to take the words मुरारि
etc. in the verse to represent the author of the Anargharāghava.
The construction of this verse of Ratnākara may, therefore,
be taken thus :—
कविः कुनाटके अङ्के उत्तमनायकस्य नाशमिव मुरारिरित्थं यस्य नाशं व्यधित सः आक्रान्त-
कृत्स्नभुवनः दैत्यनाथः हिरण्यकशिपुः सह बन्धुवर्गैः क्व गतः ॥
