________________ THE SARADIPIKA AND THE SARABODHINI T. S. Nandi The Saradipika (=SD) of Gunaratnagani on the Kavya-prakafa (=KP) of Mammata (ullasas I-VI), edited by the present author, was published by the Gujarat University in 1976. Almost simultaneously the KP with three commentaries, namely the Balacittanuranjani (= Bala) of Narahari Sarasvatitirtha, the Sarabodhini (=Sabo) of Srivatsalancchana Bhattacarya, and Kavya-prakasadarpana (ullasas III-VI) of Visvanatha, was published by the Ganganatha Jha KendriyaSamskrta-Vidyapitha, Allahabad, in 1976 (eds. Goparaju Rama and Jagannath Pathak), The present author had suggested in his edition that Gunaratna was influenced by various commentaries on the KP, and the Bala and Sabo were the major sources of inspiration. The Bala had such a tremendous influence on Gunaratna that the editor thought it wiser to edit the Bala also in the appendix. Actually, the Bala on KP (I-III & X) was earlier edited by S. S. Sukthakar. So, the present author thought it advisable to publish only the portion covering the ullasas IV & V. He also suggested how Gunaratna was influenced by other commentaries including the Sabo. He has completed his work on the remaining portion of the KP, i. e. ullasas VII-X and this paper attempts to bring out the influence wielded by the Sabo on the SD on KP VII-X only. (The references to the Sabo are to the Allahabad edition '76). It will be noticed how Gunaratna at times preserves better readings and even fills up the lacuna left out in the Allahabad edition. Thus SD proves a most important research tool, indeed a control, for editing other commentaries on the KP. Gunaratna has heavily relied on the Bala, the Sabo being only next to it, with as many as 105 instance from ullasa VII, and 11, 33 and 26 from ullasas VIII, IX and X respectively. We will examine only some illustrations in what follows. Ullasa VII Saradipika (S. D.)

Now we will look into some parallels from the Xth ullasa. We will particularly pick up only such instances where Gunaratna offers better or correct reading as compared to the printed edn. of the Sa. bo. Actually we can trace as many as twenty seven parallel passages, (58) eko'sahAyo'thavA eko'vadhAraNe / sa eva (58) eko'sahAyaH athavA eko'vadhAraNe / sa mAnyaH / eva nAnyaH / (P. 409). ___ Gunaratna has 'mAnyaH ' which reads better.

Instances can be multiplied. On an earlier occasion we have seen how Gunaratna can be utilized to advantage even in critically editing such comm. as the Balacittanurasjani. The Saradipika thus could prove a very important and useful research tool in fixing better readings and also in filling up the lacuna left out in other commentaries and works that have had a shaping influence on it.
