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

134 EXPLANATORY NOTES

• [ l. 9. शब्दानामन्वाख्यानम् । cf. प्रकृतिप्रत्ययोपाधिनिपातादिविभागशः । पदान्वाख्यानकरणं शास्त्रं व्याकरणं विदुः ॥ ( अभिधानचिन्तामणिटीका ). ] l. 11. पुरस्तात् । In the first chapter, Rājaśekhara has already intimated that the Alaṅkāras will be treated of in nine Adhika- raṇas (4-12) of the Kāvyamīmāṁsā. This word पुरस्तात् now indicates that Rājaśekhara had already planned the further Adhī- karaṇas of this work. l. 15. This śloka is more commonly read as:— सर्गश्च प्रतिसर्गश्च वंशो मन्वन्तराणि च । वंशानुचरितं चैव पुराणं पञ्चलक्षणम् ॥ l. 17. Rājaśekhara's view regarding Itihāsa has already been mentioned; he includes it among the Upavedas. ( p. 2. l. 23. ). Itihāsa is of two kinds: परक्रिया and पुराकल्प । All MSS. read here as परिक्रिया but the correct reading seems to be परक्रिया. The Arthavādas of four classes: निन्दा, प्रशंसा, परकृति and पुराकल्प, are known as parts of the Vedic injunctions, विधि or निषेध । The last two divisions of the Arthavāda are considered as Itihāsa. For the four divisions including परकृति and पुराकल्प, see the Āpastambaśrauta- sūtra, 24-1-33, Gautama's Nyāyasūtra 2-1-64, Śābarabhāṣya on II-1-33, Vāyupurāṇa 59, 136-137, and Jaimini 6-7-26. l. 20. These two classes of Itihāsa can be distinguished by their names alone as they forcibly bring out the characteristics of each. Rājaśekhara seems to have defined the two classes in accor- dance with the Vedic illustrations of the two kinds of Arthavāda. These are:—इति ह स्माह बद्रुकुवार्णिर्माषान्मे पचत न वा एतेषां हविर्गृह्णन्ति for परकृति, and उल्मुकैर्ह स्म पूर्वे समाजग्मुस्तानह असुरा रक्षांसि निर्जघ्नुः for पुराकल्प । l. 22. सहस्रेण । This word should not be taken as literally true because the Brahmamīmāṁsā does not consist of a thousand Nyāyas; the word may, however, refer to the Dharmamīmāṁsā where a thousand Nyāyas are treated of. l. 24. The fourteen Vidyāsthānas are enumerated by Yājña- valkya in his Smṛti ( 1-3 ) in the following verse : पुराणन्यायमीमांसाधर्मशास्त्राङ्गमिश्रिताः । वेदाः स्थानानि विद्यानां धर्मस्य च चतुर्दश ॥
