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

124 EXPLANATORY NOTES classification of subjects. But the attribution of these four groups of Alaṅkāras to four authors पुलस्त्य, औपकायन, पराशर and उतथ्य must be an original contribution of Rājaśekhara. It is also possible that Rājaśekhara and Rudraṭa followed a common source for their materials which unfortunately does not exist now. In any case it can safely be asserted that Rājaśekhara in the first 11 sections of the Kāvyamīmāṁsā closely follows the arrangement of topics as found in the first 10 chapters of Rudraṭa's Kāvya- laṅkāra. That Rājaśekhara was well acquainted with Rudraṭa's work, is borne out by the fact that he quoted from Rudraṭa's work in several places in his Kāvyamīmāṁsā. (Cf. p. 16. l. 5 and p. 31. l. 9 of K. M. with Rudraṭa 1. 18 and 2. 16). l. 11. उभयालंकारिकम्। Two kinds of उभयालंकार seem to have been treated in this chapter. The two Alaṅkāras संकर and संसृष्टि with their varieties may be called उभयालंकारs, because they are known when there is a combination of two or more Alaṅkāras belonging either to Śabda or Artha. Rudraṭa deals with these अलंकारs in the 10th chapter of his Kāvyālaṅkāra after अर्थश्लेष. Rājaśekhara also takes up this subject in the same order after अर्थश्लेष. Another kind of उभयालंकार which may form the subject matter of this chapter includes those Alaṅkāras which beautify the poetry belonging to both Śabda and Artha. Alaṅkāras such as Upamā, Punaru- ktavadābhāsa, Samuccaya, Sahokti, Śleṣa, Vyatireka, Rūpaka, Virodha, etc. come under this category. Cf. Rudraṭa's, K. A. 4. 32-34 and Udbhaṭa's, K. A. S. S. (gos. ed.) pp. 37-40. There is another kind consisting of 24 उभयालंकारs which is dealt with by Bhojadeva in the 4th chapter of his Sarasvatī- kaṇṭhābharaṇa. These Alaṅkāras do not, however, form the subject matter of this chapter because Bhoja's उभयालंकार includes only Upamā, Rūpaka etc. which are already included in the Aupamya group under the authorship of औपकायन in the previous chapter of this work. l. 11. वैनोदिकम्। Kāmadeva is mentioned as the author of this chapter which deals with the Vinodas. Vātsyāyana in his Kāmasūtra (1-4) gives a list of Vinodas for an accomplished citizen or Nāgaraka who is required to indulge in these Vinodas in the company of their ladies or dancing girls. The treatises Kandar- pacūḍāmaṇi, etc. dealing with the subject Kāma also explain the nature of these Vinodas for romantic couples. They are:—
