________________ SkNGARARNAVACANDRIKA (ALAMKARASAMGRAHA) OF VIJAYAVARNI 289 by scholars 38 do not, however, permit us to state categorically that Vijayavarni has drawn upon Amstanandayogin's work. 'In Chapter IV the author deals with characters : the hero, the heroine and their types, the rivals of the hero and the Dutis. A comparative study of this chapter and the second Prakasa of Dasarupaka reveals that Vijayavarni is heavily indebted to Dhanamjaya in his treatment of the characters 39. He differs with Dhanamjaya on three points : 1. Dhanamjaya speaks of three friends (Sahayas) of the hero 40 : 1. Pighamarda (Patakanayaka), 2. Vita, and 3. Vidusaka : Vijayavarni adds the fourth Nagarika41 to the list. 2. Dhanamjaya mentions three types of heroines42 : 1. Sviya (=Svastri or Svakiya), 2 Anya (=Anyastri or Parakiya) and 3. Sadharana stri (Sadharana). Vijayavarni makes them four 43 by adding one more type viz. Anudha. He, however, says that according to one view, Anudha is parakiya only and hence there are three types of heroines only. 3. In Dhanamjaya's view if absence is due to death the love sentiment cannot be present44. Vijayavarni advocates the view that Karunatmakavipralambha can be present if one of the two, (the lover and his beloved) passes away and the other laments his or her deaths. Now, Vidyanatha 4 also speaks of four Sahayas of the hero but his list has Сeta and no Nagarika. Rudrata47 and Dhanamjaya48 speak of two types of Parakiya or Anyastri : Kanyaka and Anyodha, Vijayavarni mentions Parakiya and Anudha (=Kanyaka) separately and makes four types of heroines. Of course, he is fully aware of the views of Rudrata and Dhanamjaya that Anudha (=Kanyaka), too is regarded as not one's own (Parakiya). Finally, in setting forth the four kinds of Vipralambhasrngara he has followed Rudrata49. In Chapter V the author treats of Gunas. A careful and comparative study of the definitions of these ten Gunas with those given in the Kavyadarsa reveals that Vijayavarni closely followed Dandiso, and occasionally Vamanasi. Vijayavarni paraphrases Dandi's definitions52. In Chapter VI the author treats of Riti and its four kinds : 1. Vaidarbhi 2. Gaudi, 3. Pancali, and 4. Lati. It is Rudrata53 who for the first time added Lati to the three well-known Ritis set forth by Vamana. Agnipurana54 and Jayadeva's Candralokas too speak of these four Ritis. In Bhoja's Sarasvatikanthabharana56 the Ritis number six with the addition of Avantika and Magadhi. Stud.-37 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
