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

SECOND ADHYĀYA 133 themes of poetry or काव्यार्थ. It can only be said here that he must have been the author of some treatises on Music and Dramaturgy, as a quotation under his name is also found in the Bhāvaprakāśana p. 239. 1 which relates to the subject of Dramaturgy. Page. 3. * [l. 1. अङ्गानि=अङ्ग्यन्ते ज्ञायन्तेऽमीभिरित्यङ्गानि उपकारकाणि. Rhetorics also helps in correctly interpreting the Vedic texts; so it is called the seventh Aṅga. ] l. 1. सप्तममङ्गम् । cf. यत् क्षेमं त्रिदिवाय वर्त्म निगमस्याङ्गं च यत्सप्तमं स्वादिष्ठं च यदैक्षवादपि रसाच्चक्षुश्च यद्वाङ्मयम् । तद्यस्मिन् मधुरं प्रसादि रसवत कान्तं च काव्यामृतं सोयं सुभ्रु पुरो विदर्भविषयः सारस्वतीजन्मभूः ॥ Bālarāmāyaṇa, 10. 74. Here the whole theme of poetry and not Alaṅkāra alone is stated by Rājaśekhara as the 7th Aṅga for the Vedas. * [l. 3. द्वा सुपर्णा ( श्वेताश्वतर 4-6 ). ] l. 3. द्वा सुपर्णा. etc. ( मुण्डक. 3. 1. 1. ). Śaṅkarācārya's commen- tary on this Mantra runs as follows :—द्वा=द्वौ । विज्ञानपरमात्मानौ सुपर्णा=सुपर्णौ शोभनपतनौ शोभनगमनौ सुपर्णा पक्षिसामान्याद्वा सुपर्णौ । सयुजा=सयुजौ सर्वदा संयुक्तौ । सखाया= सखायौ समानाख्यानौ समानाभिव्यक्तिकारणौ । एवं भूतौ सन्तौ समानं वृक्षं=वृक्षमिवोच्छेदसामा- न्याद्वृक्षं शरीरं परिषस्वजाते परिष्वक्तवन्तौ । तयोरन्यः=अविद्याकामवासनाश्रयलिङ्गोपाधिः विज्ञानात्मा पिप्पलं=कर्मफलं । स्वादु=अनेकचित्रवेदनास्वरूपम् । अत्युपभुङ्क्तेऽविवेकतः । अनश्नन्नन्योऽभिचाकशीति । नित्यशुद्धबुद्धमुक्तस्वभावः परमेश्वरः सर्वमपि पश्यन्नास्ते इति । ( श्वेताश्वतर. 4-6 ). Here two figures of speech are combined and these are the Rūpaka and the Vyatireka. The human body is the repository of two souls, Jīva and Īśvara; they exist in the body simultaneously. This idea has been metaphorically expressed in this Mantra by means of such things as trees, birds etc. In the second half Vyatireka may be explained in the following manner : though the two Ātmans are quite similar, one sustains itself by means of sweet fruits of the tree and the other shines even without taking anything. By this the superiority of Īśvara is clearly brought out. In this way the knowledge of Alaṅkāra helps in correctly interpreting the Vedic texts.
