274 STUDIES IN JAIN LITERATURE नवमालिकाकुशगुणाभ्यां सहोपमानोपमेयभावस्याशाब्दत्वात् / The line "तनुरियं...." forms a quarter of a stanza; possibly the stanza occurs in the poem Hayagrivavadha, now lost16. (11) F. 50 (a) lines 3-5 : These lines are easy to restore with the help of the following passage from KLV17 : किं पुन: कारणं साध्यसाधनोपन्यास उपमाने न क्रियते / मुखमिन्दुरिवेत्यत्रेति / एतदुक्तं भवति / उपमाने कुत्सितः साध्यसाधनोपन्यासः सहृदयहृदयहरणभ्रंशप्रसङ्गात् / यद्येवं क्रियते मुखमिदमाहलादकरं कान्तिविशेषातिशययोगादिन्दुरिवेति तदा क्लिष्टं काव्यं स्यात् / यथेदं वक्ष्यमाणमुदाहरणम् / एतदेव दर्शयति-तदाह इति / These numerous passages, which have their source in Udbhata's Commentary on The Kavyalamkara of Bhamaha clearly suggest that Bhamahavivarana itself must have been ready at hand for the author of KLV18. Finally, I refer to one passage from KLV which unambiguously corroborates this inference. The author of KLV (pp 70-71) comments at length on Bhamaha V. 56. In this comment we read : "तदुक्तम् इवादेरप्रतीतापि शब्दसंस्कारतः क्वचित् / उपमा गम्यतेऽन्यत्र केवलार्थनिबन्धना // इति / यत्त्वत्र विवरणकृता उपमानोपमेयभावविवक्षा साम्यमिवादिप्रयोगश्चेति त्रितयमुद्घोषितं तद बाहुल्याभिप्रायेण न तु लक्षणतया / ...." Now, the quotation "ivaderapratitapi" etc. is found introduced in his Laghuvrtti (p. 29, Banhatti's edition) by Pratiharenduraja with the words 'tadahuh'. The author of KLV identifies this quotation as originating from vivaranakrt, i. e. Udbhata, the author of (Bhamaha-) Vivarana and thus indicating that he must have had Bhamahavivarana in front of him. Notes and References : 1.
