KALPALATAVIVEKA ON ABHINAVABHARATI 255 रसो न प्रतीयत इति / रसस्य प्रतीत्यभिव्यक्ती मुख्यतया, उत्पत्तिश्चोपचारेण भट्टतोतस्याभिमता / एष एव च पक्षो यथोपाध्यायं शिष्या इत्याचार्यस्य [अभिनवगुप्तस्य] अनुमतोऽत एव च प्रतीत्यादिव्यतिरिक्तश्च संसारे को भोग इत्यादिना तत्र तत्र रसस्य प्रतीत्यादिकमाचार्यः स्वयं व्यवस्थापयिष्यतीति शङ्ककादिमतनिरसनानन्तरमुपाध्यायमतं न प्रदर्शितम् / p. 306, 11. 10-14 According to the KLV, Abhinavagupta held the same views as those of Bhattatauta, his teacher. And that is why he does not separatly set forth the view of Bhattatauta after mentioning the views of Sankuka and others. Unless we have a definite clue as to a now lost commentary by Bhattatauta on the NS, it is safer to presume that Abhinavagupta quotes Bhattatauta's views and explanations of the NS from his memory or lecture-notes which he might have taken down when reading the text with him (Bhattatauta). Aesthetic Rapture Vol. II (Notes) 8. न चोत्साहादिमान् रामः स्मर्यतेऽननुभूतत्वादित्याह- न च तत्त्वतः इति / सरसता इति रसोपजनः / ---KLV, p. 306, lines 21-22 In explaining the view of Bhatta Nayaka and its criticism as presented in the A. Bh., (Vol., 1 pp. 276-77) the KLV very cleverly and rightly borrows sentences and phrases from an earlier version preserved by Abhinavagupta himself in his Locana (pp. 180-190). The A. Bh. reads : न च तद्वतो रामस्य स्मृतिः / अनुपलम्भत्वात् / -p. 276, 1. 5 (from below) The KLV reads tattvatah; so too, Hemacandra reads tattvato (p. 96 1. 13). The reading 'tadvatah' however suits the context. 9. The A. Bh. (Vol I, p. 277, 11. 1-2) reads : 'flash Ehafinn, Masson and Patwardhan observe : The phrase Nibidanijamohasantkatakarina on p. 277 of the A. Bh., Vol. I. is puzzling. Perhaps we must read sarikataniyrttikarina. "Gnoli accepts the reading of the Sarkatataniyaranakarina but remarks sarkatakarina. G.M. equally possible. (Text, p. 10, F.n. 8) He, however, does not explain how that reading would yield a satisfactory meaning, suited to the context. The fact that the correct reading must have been sankatatanivarana (or nivstti) karina is vouchsafed by Abhinavagupta's own text in the Locana where he reads : misfo 7 pot feed, 3rf I THET=245&aftafel.... . -P. 189. 10. रजस्तमोवैचित्र्यानुविद्धसत्त्वमयनिजचित्स्वभावनिर्वृतिविश्रान्तिलक्षणः / --KLV p. 307, 11. 4-5 The text of Hema. (p. 96 11. 22-23) and of the A. Bh. (p. 277, lines 3-4) too in the present context reads laksana. Dr. Raghavan's emendation (Bhoja's
