When an astronomer explains the position of directions, he takes
recourse to the position of heavenly bodies such as Citrā, Svātī,
Dhruva, etc. The direction east is decided by seeing the inter-
mediate distance between the two stars चित्रा and स्वाती.
Here the word चित्रास्वात्यन्तर denotes also the day on which the
sun’s position is between these two stars. That day is known as
विषुवान् when the day and night are equal. There are two such days
in a year and they are known as चैत्र or शारदसम्पात and रैवत or वसन्तसम्पात.
Only on these two days the sun’s position is exactly to the east
of the earth at the time of rising, and exact west at the time of
setting. In all the other days of the year the sun rises either to
the north or to the south in the eastern horizon and the day or
night is either longer or shorter according as it is either the
Summer Solstice or the Winter Solstice. People in ancient days
used to determine the correctness of the eastern direction by the
rise of the sun on the विषुवत् day when the sun rises between the चित्रा
and स्वाती constellations, or in other words, when he is in the last
degrees of the sign of Virgo. Kātyāyana and his commentator
Karkācārya, for instance, have adopted this method of चित्रास्वात्यन्तर
to determine the correctness of the eastern direction for the
Vedic rites.

(1-25) and the Bālarāmāyaṇa (5-38) are given below for
comparison. Viddhaśālabhañjikā :
साम्यं सम्प्रति सेवते विचकिलं षाण्मासिकैर्मौक्तिकैः
बाह्लीकीदशनव्रणारुणदलैः पत्रैरशोकोऽर्चितः।
शृङ्गालम्बितकोटि किंशुकमिदं किंचिद्द्विवृन्तायते
माञ्जिष्ठैः स्तवकैश्च पाटलतरोरन्यैव काचिल्लिपिः ॥
Bālarāmāyaṇa:-
सूते संप्रति दुग्धमुग्धसुभगं पुष्पोद्गमं मल्लिका
बाह्लीकीदशनव्रणारुणदलैः पत्रैरशोकोऽर्चितः।
शृङ्गाल्लम्बितकोटि किंशुकमिदं किंचिद्द्विवृन्तायते
माञ्जिष्ठैर्मुकुलैश्च पाटलतरोरन्यैव काचिल्लिपिः।
Here Rājaśekhara seems to have introduced a change in his
own verse to suit the context.
l. 15. Hastināpura, where Kurupāṇḍavas ruled, is situated in
the Madhyadeśa according to its situation mentioned on page 94. l. 17.

l. 18. The same verse युधिष्ठिर etc. may be taken to show
मध्यदेश्यश्यामता also, as poets do not differentiate the two colours कृष्ण
and श्याम according to the statement made in कविसमय. see p. 84. l. 23.
ll. 21-22. Construe:-उत्तरकोसलेन्द्रपुत्र्याः तव नवनीतपिण्डगौरे अलिके
प्रतिफलत् मृगाङ्कबिंबं मृगमदपत्रनिभेन लाञ्छनेन अवगतम् ।
Here the word नवनीतपिण्डगौरे shows the colour of a woman
belonging to मध्यदेश.
*[l. 25. कपोले जानक्याः (हनुमन्नाटक. III. 50.)] The MS. B. and
two MSS of विवेक read स्मरस्मेरः स्फारोड्डमरपुलकं वक्त्रकमलम् । The reading
of the A. MS. is adopted in the text.]
ll. 25-26. The Videha country is included in the list of
countries in the eastern part of India. The colour of Jānakī there-
fore is expected to be black or कृष्ण. But she is described here
as white or गौर because she belonged to a royal family. This
verse is also found in the drama Mahānāṭaka or Hanumannāṭaka,
and describes the state of Rāma's mind when he was awaiting the
arrival of the army of Khara and his brothers at Pañcavaṭī.
From this quotation, found originally in the Mahānāṭaka and
quoted subsequently by Rājaśekhara, it should not be presumed
that the text of the Mahānāṭaka as available to-day is the genuine
one, or was composed before the Kāvyamīmāṁsā. The drama as
at present available seems to be a compilation of verses pertaining
to the story of Rāma by a later writer who flourished in the 10th
century or later. The present drama contains verses of early
dramatists such as Bhavabhūti, Rājaśekhara and others, and it is
thus reasonable to suppose that the author flourished a little after
the time of Rājaśekhara. The verse पृथ्वि स्थिरा भव of the Bālarāmāyaṇa
(1-48) occurs in the Mahānāṭaka (1-29) and the verse चूडाचुम्बित-
कङ्कपत्र etc. of Bhavabhūti appears in the Mahānāṭaka (2-3).
It cannot, however, be denied that there was a Mahānāṭaka quite
different from the available text because some writers on drama-
turgy cite a Mahānāṭaka as one of the best dramatic compositions.
Śāradātanaya, for instance, in his Bhāvaprakāśana gives the des-
cription of the Mahānāṭaka thus:-
सर्ववृत्तिविनिष्पन्नं सर्वलक्षणसंयुतम् । समग्रं तत्प्रतिनिधि महानाटकमुच्यते ॥
P. 241-5.
तद्वामोऽहं यथैत्यादि महानाटककल्पितम् ।
P. 279-22.

SEVENTEENTH ADHYĀYA 253
It cannot, therefore, be definitely said that this verse कपोले etc.
formed part of the gunuine and the original Mahānāṭaka composed
earlier than the Kāvyamīmāṁsā. It is also possible that it
belonged to some other drama dealing with the Rāma-story which
was composed earlier than the Kāvyamīmāṁsā and later on added
to the Mahānāṭaka.
Construe this verse thus :-
जानक्याः करिकलभदन्तद्युतिमुषि कपोले स्फारोड्डमरपुलकं वक्त्रकमलं सरस्मेरःमुहुः पश्यन् etc.
Page. 98.
ll. 3-4. Rukmiṇī, the daughter of the king of Vidarbha,
is expected to be of black complexion as the Vidarbha country is
included in the southern India. But, here, she is described as गौर
or पाण्डु because she belonged to a royal family.
l. 5. एवमन्यदपि etc. Hemacandra quoted the whole chapter
upto this line without expressing his indebtedness to Rājaśekhara
but omited the two verses, निगदित etc in his Viveka.
ll. 6-9. It is said here that any description contrary to the
geographical peculiarities of any country is considered as a blemish
in composition and, therefore, poets are advised to be careful in
avoiding this Doṣa in their works.
cf. Bhāmaha 4,29-30; Daṇḍin 4,40-44 and Vāmana 2,2,23.
तदुदाहृतयस्तु दोषेषु । Instances of देशविरोध are illustrated by the
author in the chapter dealing with the blemishes of composition or
the 16th Adhikaraṇa of the Kāvyamīmāṁsā. This passage also
shows that Rājaśekhara, intended to complete this Kāvyamīmāṁsā
in 18 Adhikaraṇas as enumerated in the first page of this work.
सूत्रितः । This word also indicates that the author's intention
was to write this work in the form of Sūtras on the model of the
Arthaśāstra and the Kāmasūtra.
मद्भुवनकोशम् । According to the list of subjects given on p. 2. l. 4.,
Bhuvanakośa seems to be the subject-matter of the last chapter
of this Adhikaraṇa कविरहस्य, and it immediately follows देशकालविभाग
of 17th and 18th chapters. But instead of that, Kālavibhāga is
treated as the last subject and the chapter-colophon also shows
that the first Adhikaraṇa कविरहस्य ends with the chapter on Kāla-
vibhāga. It may, therefore, be surmised that probably there were
some more Adhyāyas dealing with the Bhuvanakośa even after

254 EXPLANATORY NOTES
the Kālavibhāga chapter in order to complete the first Adhikaraṇa,
and these are irretrievably lost to us just as the other 17 Adhi-
karaṇas. This Bhuvanakośa does not seem to be a separate work
of Rājaśekhara because he mentions this as a part of the Kāvya-
mīmāṁsā, and also because the author is known to have
composed only six works as mentioned in the Bālarāmāyaṇa.
cf. विद्धि नः षट् प्रबन्धान्। 1–12. Such being the case, the Bhuvana-
kośa cannot be included in this list of six works, and it is very
improbable that Rājaśekhara should compose an independent
work by name Bhuvanakośa in addition to this voluminous work
Kāvyamīmāṁsā. The following six works may be taken as his
composition: the four dramas, the Kāvyamīmāṁsā and the
Haravilāsa Kāvya. For detailed information, see introduction.

Adhyāya XVIII.
l. 13. This line is not found in any of the MSS of this work.
On the authority of Hemacandra who quoted the whole chapter
in the same order in his Kāvyānuśāsanaviveka, this line has been
added on to the text.
*[l. 14. काष्ठा etc. cf. with this, the division of time in कौटिलीयार्थ-
शास्त्र p. 108. Read समेते।]
ll. 14–15. This verse is found in the Vāyupurāṇa with slight
modifications:
काष्ठा निमेषा दश पञ्च चैव त्रिंशच्च काष्ठा गणयेत् कलान्तम्।
त्रिंशत्कलश्चैव भवेन्मुहूर्तः तैस्त्रिंशता रात्र्यहनी समेते।
chapter 50–169.
In the Arthaśāstra the division of time is different:—
द्वौ त्रुटौ लवः। द्वौ लवौ निमेषः। पञ्च निमेषाः काष्ठा। त्रिंशत्काष्ठाः कला। चत्वारिंशत्कला
नाडिका। द्विनाडुको मुहूर्तः। पञ्चदश मुहूर्तो दिवसो रात्रिश्च।
It may be noted that Kauṭilya states five Nimeṣas as equi-
valent to one Kāṣṭhā, and eighty Kalās as equivalent to one
Muhūrta. But according to Vāyupurāṇa 15 Nimeṣas make one
Kāṣṭhā while thirty Kalās make one Muhūrta.
ll. 16–25. Compare Arthaśāstra 2. 20. 38 on the subject of
देशकालमान।
*[l. 21. The Viveka reads वर्धमानसोमशुक्लिमा and वर्धमान सोमकृष्णिमा.]

वारुणा:=belonging to the west, the direction assigned to the god
*Varuṇa.
*[l. 10. पौरस्त्यस्तोयदतः । सूर्यशतक. 55. There the reading is पवनः ].
l. 22. सारी=full of the essence.
*[l. 24. लम्पाकीनां (बालरामायण 5-35).]
ll. 24-27. Rājaśekhara seems to have changed the reading
of this verse from the version adopted by him in his Bālarāmāyaṇa
in order to suit the present context.
The last line in the Bālarāmāyaṇa reads:—हैमना वान्ति वाताः ।
According to the list of countries given above on page 94, the
countries Limpāka, Valhava and Kulūta mentioned in this verse,
are situated in the northern part of India.
Page. 100.
l. 5. Reading मिलितमलयजः seems to be better than मलितमलयजः
and it means that the southern wind comes in contact with the
products of the Malaya mountains.
सीमन्तिनीनाम्, must be connected with मानचौरः ।
l. 11. वीतार्णसाम्=bereft of water.
l. 15. कुकूलम्=a fire made of chaff.
l. 16. कार्शोनवै:=weapon made of fire.
l. 17. Here Rājaśekhara describes the six seasons of the year
and enumerates the customs adopted in those seasons, and asks poets
to follow the same method in their poetry. He also records the

256 EXPLANATORY NOTES
effects on the natural and seasonal changes on the produce of the
country and on men, women and animals. He further describes
the seasonal changes as recorded by early poets, and the practices
of civilized people and rich men during these seasons.
l. 18. The fact that the Balākās or cranes conceive under the
influence of the clouds and that the growth of bamboos is depen-
dent on the clouds, is handed down by tradition alone and is
alluded to by the early poets.
cf. मेघाभिकामा परिसंपतन्ती संमोदिता भाति बलाकपङ्क्तिः ।

l. 24. This remark चकोरहर्षी seems to be new inasmuch as the
Cakoras are known traditionally to feel happy in a moon-lit night
but not in the rainy season, or is it a scribe's error for the word
मयूरहर्षी ?
यतिचारचौरः=because during the rainy season the Yatis are not
allowed to wander under the laws of the Dharmaśāstra.
*[l. 26. MSS. B. and C. of Viveka read किल कामिनीभिः ]
l. 26. The reading किल कामिनिभिः seems to be better than करिकामि-
निभिः for the context.
l. 27. चतुः समम् । An unguent in which the four things, sandal,
agallochum, saffron and musk are mixed. The things mentioned
in this verse are the primary luxuries of the rainy season.
Page. 101.
l. 1. The चातक birds are believed to drink only the rain-water.
l. 4. विषम्=water.
l. 8. घर्मात्ययः=the end of summer.
l. 10. Peacocks are known to become happy at the sight of
the clouds or in the rainy-season but not when the clouds disappear
in Autumn. But, here in the description of the S'arat season the
reading गर्जयन्ती विमदान् मयूरान् seems to go against the tradition.

EIGHTEENTH ADHYĀYA 257

The reading तर्जयन्ती is, therefore, suggested here and this means
that the S'arat season threatens the peacocks by removing the
clouds. The reading द्रागर्जयन्ती is also suited to the context.
*[l. 20. चन्द्रिकांबुनीलावभासम् may be taken as one phrase.
l. 21. विवेक reads सुरेभवीथी दिवि सावतारा ।]
l. 21. The meaning of this line is not quite clear. सुरेभ refers
to Airāvata the elephant of Indra. The reading of the Kāvyānu-
śāsanaviveka दिवि सावतारा suggests the meaning that a row of stars
begins to appear in the sky.
l. 25. बुध्यते च etc. mean that god Viṣṇu gets up from his
sleep on the day of उत्थानैकादशी while आषाढैकादशी is known as देव-
शयनैकादशी or the day on which Viṣṇu goes to sleep.
l. 26. कलमा:=the first paddy crop.
l. 27. The old आमलक is preferable for medicinal purposes.
This verse केदार एव etc. is quoted in the S'uktimuktāvali (G. O. S.
edition. p. 229) with the remark कस्यापि.

Page. 102.
ll. 1-2. Both the words एर्वारुक and त्रपुसीफल mean cucumber.
*[l. 7. तीक्ष्णम् attributed to Bhāsa in S'ārṅgadharapaddhati

ll. 9-10. चित्तमन्तः instead of धर्मचिन्ता, पङ्कः instead of पङ्कम् are the
different readings.]
ll. 7-10. This verse also is quoted in the Sūktimuktāvali.
The reading धर्मचित्तम् seems to be better than धर्मचिन्ता. Read पङ्कः
for पङ्कम्.
l. 11. नद्यो वहन्ति is quoted in the Sūktimuktāvali as anonymous.
*[l. 14. Read मीनानुसारिबकदत्तकरालफालाः]

l. 26. वराहव्रणौणि नवौदनानि may mean rice cooked along with the
flesh of a boar].
l. 26. वराहव्रणौणि etc. Rājaśekhara seems to describe here the habits
of uncivilized people. Similar description is found on page 39

The purport of this verse is as follows :- The faculty of
pleasing every-one belongs naturally to the moon ; the sun seems
to be endowed with this faculty in winter days, and consequently,
the moon is deprived temporarily of the faculty of pleasing all in

to worship Manmatha with the flowers of Damanaka tree.

posed in order to suit the context.
*[l. 9. खं वस्ते quoted in सरस्वतीकण्ठाभरण II.]
ll. 9-12. In this verse the commencement of the rainy season
is described. Here the blossoming of the lotus which happens in
summer, is described as continued in the rainy season also.
ll. 14-19. Here Rājaśekhara states some other signs of
previous seasons which are described as continued in subsequent
seasons. Here धूलीकदम्ब, a sign of the summer, is described in this
verse to represent धाराकदम्ब of the rainy season. In this verse
all adjectives apply to the subject represented by the word समरवारि-
धरागमस्य ।
ll. 20-25. Here it is stated that the Jātī flower which is known
in the rainy days as कार्दमी or ‘muddy', continues blossoming even
in Autumn when its fragrance is enriched.
Page. 110.
ll. 1-2. In this verse, the commencement of S'arat and a new-
comer from his wanderings, are described as similar by the उपमा
and श्लेष figures of speech. Here the days of S'arat season are
stated as similar to the legs of the new-comer.

in S'is'ira, as 'these two are not generally considered as separate
seasons.
l. 9. सुरभिः=the spring or वसन्त.
The three verses beginning from गेहे वाहीकयूनाम्, illustrate an in-
stance of descriptive method in which the signs of Hemanta and
S'is'ira are said to continue even in the spring.

The Bālarāmāyaṇa reads the second line as:—कण्ठे माला विशाला

But the reading found here seems to be better than that of
the Bālarāmāyaṇa.
l. 9. एवमुदाहरणान्तराणि ।
For the other examples illustrating natural sceneries of
different countries and the costume and manners of ladies inhabit-
ing them, a reference may be made to the author's other works
such as the Bālarāmāyaṇa, Karpūramañjarī, Viddhasālabhañjikā
and Bālabhārata where he has exhibited his profound knowledge
of the subject, particularly, of the seasonal changes and the topo-
graphy of the different parts of India.
ll. 10–11. Here Rājaśekhara says that the commencement,
development and continuation of the different seasons are described

262 EXPLANATORY NOTES
here only in a very concise form, and that the other characteristics of
the seasons, therefore, should be imagined by the poets themselves.
नामग्राहं कियद्ब्रूमः। The author regrets here his inability to deal
in detail with everything that he happened to know. This testifies
to his vast knowledge and his love of the subject. It may further
be said that there is no other work in the Sanskrit literature,
superior to this portion of the Kāvyamīmāṁsā on the subject
of the description of the different seasons. The inferiority of such
works as the Ṛtusaṁhāra will be quite apparent when it is
compared with this chapter.
ll. 12–13. Here the author advises other poets not to record
their observations indiscriminately in their compositions but to
adopt only the method followed by the early poets as their chief
guide while describing.
l. 14. Rājaśekhara wants to close this chapter on seasons
and their divisions after noting down two more points regarding
the flowers and fruits which also belong to the main theme of this
chapter. According to Rājaśekhara flowers are required to serve
six different functions, such as:—(1) शोभा beauty (2) अन्धस् food
(3) गन्ध smell (4) रस essence (5) फलम् fruits (6) अर्चनम् worship.
There is no seventh function to be served by them except to
wither and decay in the forest.
ll. 16–23. A period of four months is to be allowed by poets
while describing the process of transformation from a flower to a
ripened fruit. This period of four months refers only to the case
of the flowers of the trees and not to those of the creepers in which
case the period of maturity is two months only.
ll. 24–25. Here Rājaśekhara classifies fruits under six heads
according to their form. The word व्याज here means pretence.
In every fruit the kernel is hidden in the useless and rough skin
and this is what is known as pretence. This pretence also varies
in six ways by its position in the fruits, either inside or out-side
or in both places, and so on. All fruits are divided into six groups
following the nature of the pretence of the fruits.
Page. 112.
ll. 1–4. The fruit of the Lakuca tree has व्याज only in the
middle and all other portions of it are useful. This fruit may be
like the Ciku (चिकु) fruit of the present day.

EIGHTEENTH ADHYĀYA 263
Mocā or plantain has its व्याज only on the skin.
Āmra or mango fruits have their व्याज both in the seed as
well as in the skin, and the fruit ककुभ has the व्याज everywhere.
This seems to be the fruit of the अर्जुन tree.
The Panasa fruit has many व्याज both in and out, and, therefore,
it is called बहुव्याज । नीलकपित्थ seems to be a variety of the Kapittha
fruit and it has no व्याज anywhere.
ll. 5-8. Here Rājaśekhara advises poets to take more care to
keep up the propriety ( औचित्य ) in description than the rules of
poetics. For example, all the different seasons should not be, as a
rule, described together in one particular place; but one or two
only may be dealt with in different places in the composition, not
necessarily in the same order as the seasons appear.
ll. 9-10. अवधान is शक्ति or Pratibhā.
Cf. अवधानातिशयवान् रसे तत्रैव सत्कविः ।
भवेत्तस्मिन् प्रमादो हि झगित्येवोपलक्ष्यते ॥
Dhvanyāloka, 3-29.
ll. 11-12. Here the author mentions the subject of this chap-
ter as the division of time, and states that due to the lack of
accurate knowledge, poets are apt to be confused while handling
this subject. An accurate knowledge of this subject often makes
poets superior.
*[ l. 13. राजशेखर. The following verse in सरस्वतीकण्ठाभरण contain-
ing the name राजशेखर seems to have been taken from his हरविलास.

ll. 13-15. The colophon and the post-colophon statements,
here, indicate the ending of the first section or Adhikaraṇa of the
Kāvyamīmāṁsā dealing with the Kavirahasya. In this connection
it should be remembered that there must have been another chap-
ter belonging to this Adhikaraṇa and dealing with the subject

264 EXPLANATORY NOTES
of Bhuvanakośa as enumerated in the first chapter p. 2. l. 4 and
which now seems to be lost. According to that statement:
भुवनकोशः । इति कविरहस्यं प्रथममधिकरणम् इत्यादि । Bhuvanakośa seems to be
the last subject dealt with in this Adhikaraṇa. There is another
passage also:
इत्थं देशविभागो मुद्रामात्रेण सूत्रितः सुधियाम् ।
यस्तु जिगीषत्यधिकं पश्यतु मद्भुवनकोशमसौ ॥
(Kāvyamīmāṁsā p. 98. ll. 8-9.)
which confirms the above view. Some scholars hold that the
Bhuvanakośa is a separate treatise of Rājaśekhara, but this does
not appear to be correct for reasons already cited. It is, there-
fore, to be concluded that the last portion of the Kavirahasya
dealing with the Bhuvanakośa as well as the other 17 Adhikaraṇas
of the Kāvyamīmāṁsā, as enumerated in the first chapter 'शास्त्रसङ्ग्रह'
of this work, have been entirely lost. Very probably, the reason
why this extent portion alone out of the bulky volume of 18
Adhikaraṇas of the Kāvyamīmāṁsā has been preserved in the Jain
Bhandars of the Patan town in the territory of Baroda Raj, is that
the greater portion of this section is borrowed by the great Jain
Ācāryas such as Hemacandrācārya, Vāgbhaṭa and Māṇikyacandra
in their Kāvyānuśāsanas and in the commentary on the Kāvya-
prakāśa and, therefore, to prove the authenticity of the writings of
their Ācāryas, the later Jain scholars might have taken more care
to preserve this portion alone; or, it is also quite possible that only
the extant portion of the Kāvyamīmāṁsā was available when the
Jain Bhandār Libraries were being organized. Another plausible
explanation is that probably Rājaśekhara did not live to complete
his Kāvyamīmāṁsā which was projected in 18 Adhikaraṇas—a
very ambitious scheme, and the chapters available to-day is the
portion which he could complete during his life-time.

Hemacandra, but in some places has substituted his own and the
verses of others and has summarised in prose the chapter on कालविभाग.

by the authors of the Sarasvatīkaṇṭhābharaṇa, Śṛṅgāraprakāśa
and the Bhāvaprakāśana are referred to in the Notes.
