are actually found to be cherished by different poets are mentioned by AFAT, while that seems to place before the readers a list of aims that should be cherished as noble ones by all the poets.

elfà effá sitfát a nyararla aruan (ch. 1/2) Compared to this also, the list of 24975 appears to be more appropriate-evidently because he has assigned the highest place to the aim of Supreme joy,' as he says distinctly : thaghad fanacht: 4180975787. भोजदेव in his सरस्वतीकण्ठाभरण pithily remarks : काव्यं रसवत्कवि: कुर्वन् कीर्ति प्रीतिं च विन्दति. In fact the ideal aims of poetry
must be only प्रीति (ie supreme joy) कीर्ति, (fame) and gas (delightful but ) effective advice.
fagare in his arrecaayo says:-agási sgia: galceq. धियामपि। काव्यादेव ॥ सा० द० १/२
हेमचन्द्र next defines this suprerne joy ( सद्योरसास्वादजन्मा etc). as one that springs from enjoying a sentiment in a poem, a joy in which the mind forgets every other thing, and which is similar to the joy of self realization. This joy, then, is the highest aim of poetry ( सर्वप्रयोजनोपनिषद्भत) and may be felt both by the poet as well as the reader, (* in his fax distinctly remarks that gat (fame) and seara (knowledge ) are aims that are inferior to this aim of 'supreme joy'). TT however is the sole monopoly of the poet. It cannot be shared by the readers.
