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

EIGHTH ADHYĀYA 183 l. 18. राजसिद्धान्तत्रयी=The three S'āstras of Artha, Nāṭya and Kāma are mentioned here as of interest only to the royal personages, because it is only the kings who are able to practice, follow and appreciate the doctrines inculcated in these S'āstras. *[ l. 19. शमव्यायामाभ्यां ( बालरामायण 1-24 ). ] ll. 19–22. This verse of Rājaśekhara has also been quoted by Abhinavagupta in his अभिनवभारती while commenting on the verse of Bharata न तज्ज्ञानं, etc. see Abhinavabhāratī (G.O.S. No. 36. p. 42.) For an explanation of this verse, compare the शमव्यायामिक chapter of the Arthaśāstra of Kauṭilya. शमव्यायामौ योगक्षेमयोर्योनिः । कर्मारम्भाणां योगाराधनो व्यायामः । कर्मफलोपभोगानां क्षेमाराधनः शमः । शमव्यायामयोर्योनिः षाड्गुण्यम् ॥ etc. आवापः=‘intention of declaring a war’. In this verse Rāja- śekhara exhibits his special acquaintance with the Arthaśāstra of Kauṭilya. ll. 23–26. This verse shows that the author was fully conver- sant with the contents of the Nāṭyaśāstra; for, he describes not only the dancing postures, but also explains such technical terms as लंबितलय etc. which pertain to the science of music. Cf. Nāṭyaśāstra : अङ्गभूता हि तालस्य यतिपाणिलयाः स्मृताः । त्रयो लयास्तु विज्ञेयाः द्रुतमध्यविलम्बिताः ॥ 31. 331. Page. 39. *[ l. 2. असौ मन्दरतस्त्वं cf. कामसूत्र 2.1.3, 9 and 13. ] l. 2. मन्दरतः=‘from the Mandara mountain’ or ‘one with dissimilar conjugal affinity.’ समरतः=‘from the war’ or ‘one with similar conjugal affinity’. ll. 3–9.
