harmony. Again, in verse 264, quoted in the Vyakti Viveka (II) from the Sisupalavadha (V. 28), the idea is that the army used and enjoyed the waters of the mountain-rivers in a variety of ways and thus removed the stigma of the rivers that they were not enjoyed. Here the verbs are used harmoniously unti! the trend is broken, making it faulty due to violation of form. If the compound word is broken, the harmony will be restored and the blemish removed. As said above, Hemachandra is indebted to Mahimabhaṭṭa in this Chapter both in the body of the Kavyanuśāsan text-specially the gloss, and in the reference material reproduced in the Viveka. The Vyaktiviveka has been drawn upon at several places here. In particular, he has taken over this present verse FJ: etc.' (264) quoted in the Vyaktiviveka (1) along with Mahimabhatta's views by saying that in connection with this verse, some people allege that since herein by the verbs Nejana etc., the harmony of time which was started by Snana etc. is violated, there is here Prakramabheda in relation to Time as well. Hemachandra obviously hints here at Mahimabhatta's position because the present verse is actually given by Mahimabhatta to illustrate Kalaviseṣaprakramabheda. 1 18 Against this view, Hemachandra holds that since here no specific time is intended by the poet, this Dosa should not be alleged to be present. To say this, he reproduces Mahimabhatta's own comments (V.V., II. p. 302). The Viveka passage (p. 217 ff.) thus represents verbatim the comments of Mahimabhatta who had anticipated the objection referred to above. The passage states: "Alternatively, this fault of violation of Uniformity of time should not be reckoned as a fault at all. For, Uniformity of Time arises from the intention of the author which is itself uncertain." As Patanjali says in the Bhāṣya, "What is popularly considered as Perfect or which is known to the people as an object of the distant past, if the user (of that form) is able to see it or if it is fit to be seen by the user, then that Perfect tense is not intended and in such a case, the imperfect or Lan is used, as e.g., in 'Jayanta conquered the creatures', etc. Besides, whether it is
