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

240 EXPLANATORY NOTES l. 25. Jambūdvīpa is situated in the middle of the other द्वीपs having three Dvīpas on both the sides. The names of all the seven द्वीपs and their order of precedence are mentioned in this verse. Page. 91. ll. 1–2. Each of these seven द्वीपs are surrounded by seven concentric oceans. l. 6. Kāvyānuśāsanaviveka reads as तस्मिन्नप्याजिकेलिव्यतिकरविजयोपार्जिते वीरचर्ये पर्याप्तं मे न धातुः etc. but Vāgbhaṭa's Kāvyānuśāsana reads as कस्मिन्नव्याजकेलिव्यतिकरविजयोपार्जिते वीरचर्ये. Both वीरवयें and वीरचर्ये do not give any clear sense of that passage and therefore, it may be changed as वीरवर्यः which may be construed with यः in the next line. The purport of the verse, then will be as follows:– ‘The great warrior, probably Paraśurāma, became dissatisfied with Brahman because he thought that all these eighteen islands, earth with its nine sub-divisions, one mighty ocean, and the fertile country all around, acquired by him through his prowess in battles, seemed to him to be insufficient for his liberality’. The reading:– चक्रे पुञ्जेन दातुं तदिदम् may be construed thus:—यः वीरवर्यः ‘तदिदं पुञ्जेन दातुं चक्रे’ इति धिया वेधसे चुकोप ‘Paraśurāma became dissatisfied with Brahman because he could create very little for being given away in charity’. *[l. 7. MSS of काव्यानुशासनविवेक read पर्याप्तं मे न धातुः instead of चक्रे पुञ्जेन दातुम् ।] ll. 13-16. This verse मातङ्गानामभावे etc. is not quoted by Hemacandra in his Kāvyānuśāsanaviveka. The import of this verse is that the enemies of a king were defeated and driven out to the shores of the three oceans where also they had the riches of a king in the form of elephants of the quarters, Cintāmaṇi jewels and Kalpaka trees etc. although they lost their own elephants, jewels and gardens. *[l. 22. MSS of विवेक read अगस्त्यचुलुकोत्क्षिप्त.] l. 23. Read प्रस्तरायितम् instead of पूतरायितम्. प्रस्तर means a small stone. The reading उत्क्षिप्त also is quite suited to the emendation as प्रस्तरायितम् ।. The purport of this verse would then be as follows:
