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

FIRST ADHYĀYA 125

आपानकविधिः, उद्यानजलक्रीडा, कुक्कुटलावमेषयुद्धम्, द्यूतम्, यक्षरात्रिः, कौमुदीजागरः, सुवसन्तकः etc. Bhojadeva in his Sarasvatīkaṇṭhābharaṇa gives a similar list of Vinodas of lovers to be described by poets while dealing with love affairs in their poetry. Cf. अष्टमीचन्द्रकः कुन्दचतुर्थी सुवसन्तकः । आन्दोलनचतुर्थ्येकशाल्मली मदनोत्सवः ॥ etc. Sarasvatīkaṇṭhābharaṇa 5, 93-96. These Vinodas are classified according to the different seasons or Ṛtus by Śāradātanaya in his Bhāvaprakāśana as under:— अष्टमीचन्द्रशक्राचवसन्तमदनोत्सवाः । बकुलाशाकविहतिः शाल्मलीमूलखेलनम् ॥ एते वासन्तिकाः प्रायो विनोदा रसिकोचिताः । उद्यानयात्रा सलिलक्रीडा पुष्पापचायिका । नवाग्रखादिका चूतमाधवीनवसंगमः । एते प्रायो विनोदाः स्युः निदाघे सुखभोगिनाम् ॥ etc. pp. 137-138. In the Ratnāvalī, Śākuntala, etc. we find that Vinodas such as the Kaumudīmahotsava, Manmathapūjā Vasantotsava, etc. are introduced and prescribed for lovers. This chapter on Vinodas is attributed by Rājaśekhara to Kāmadeva because these are concerned with pure love. l. 11. रूपकनिरूपणीयम्। The chapter where the different varieties of Dramas or Rūpakas are explained, is attributed to Bharata the author of the Nāṭyaśāstra. Here the word Rūpaka stands for Nāṭya according to the definition of Śāradātanaya which is as follows:— रामादितादात्म्यापत्तिर्नटे या नाट्यमुच्यते । रूपकं तद्भवेद्रूपं दृश्यत्वात्प्रेक्षकैरिदम् ॥ रूपकत्वं तदारोपात्कमलारोपवन्मुखे । Bhāvaprakāśana p. 180 The fanciful identity of Naṭas on the stage with Rāma etc. is known as Rūpaka because it is so witnessed by the audience. This Nāṭya or Rūpaka is based on eleven fundamental principles as stated by Bharata in the 6th chapter of his work. The relevant quotation is given below:— रसा भावा ह्यभिनया धर्मा वृत्तित्रवृत्तयः । सिद्धिः स्वरास्तथाऽऽतोद्यं गानं रङ्गश्च सङ्ग्रहः ॥
