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

SEVENTEENTH ADHYĀYA 239 चन्द्रे शशैणयोः कामध्वजे मकरमत्स्ययोः । दानवासुरदैत्यानामैक्यमेवाभिसम्मतम् ॥ बहुकालजन्मनोऽपि शिवचन्द्रस्य बालता । मानवा मौलितो वर्ण्या देवाश्चरणतः पुनः ॥ देवेश्वर—कविकल्पलता pp. 40, 41 and 42.] ll. 12-13. Here Rājaśekhara declares that he is the first writer to deal with this kind of Kavisamaya which the early writers on poetics failed to notice. But they included other varieties of Kavisamaya which readily form part of the Doṣas or blemishes in poetical composition or ungrammatical usages. The passages – काव्ये सुप्त इव स्थितः । स साम्प्रतमिहास्माभिर्यथाबुद्धि विबोधितः ॥ clearly show that early authors were not opposed to it, and that Rājaśekhara alone took up this subject to be treated of in detail. Adhyāya XVII. Chapters 17 and 18 are reproduced by Hemacandra in his Kāvyānuśāsanaviveka (pp.126-135) and he followed the same order as found here. ll. 19-22. In this verse, the firmament and the earth are described as forming one world. This is shown by the words क्रमपरिमिता भूमिर्विष्णोः and जगति सकले. It is alluded here that in the whole world there can be no other family than this where the members such as Bala, Hara and Viṣṇu of the family could not till their little land due to want of a second ox.
