290 STUDIES IN JAIN LITERATURE The definition of Riti given by the author is in agreement with the one set forth by Vidyanatha in his PRYS7. Vidyanatha, however, speaks of three Ritis only, omitting Lati as has been done by Mammata. The definitions of the four Ritis as laid down in SC58 and Alamkarasangraha are in close agreement. The definitions of the three Ritis are partly in agreement with those of Vamana59. In Chapter VII the author treats of six Vrttis-1. Kaisiki, 2. Arabhati, 3. Bharati, 4. Sattvati, 5. Madhyama Kaisiki and 6. Madhyama Arabhati. These six Vrttis are first dealt with by Bhoja in his Sarasvatikanthabharana, but as Sabdalamkaras (Chapter II. 34-38) and after him by Vidyanatha in his PRY (Kavyaprakarana, pp. 57-63). Vijayavarni's treatment of this topic bears remarkable resemblance to that of Vidyanatha's60. In chapter VIII we find an exposition of the conception of Sayya and Paka. No doubt, the conception of Paka is found in Vamana's Kavyalamkarasutra-vrtti and Rajasekhara's Kavyamimamsa, but the striking thing is that the definitions of Sayya and Paka as given by Vijayavarni are in close agreement with the corresponding ones in Vidyanatha's PRY :61 पदानामानुगुण्यं वान्योन्यमित्रत्वमुच्यते / / यत् सा शय्या कलाशास्त्रनिपुणैर्विदुषां वरैः / / -VIII. 2 Cf. 9 TERI YIRIRST gpzifa Freztat ...अत्र पदविनिमयासहिष्णुत्वाद् बन्धस्य पदानुगुण्यरूपा शय्या / --PRY p. 67 आलम्ब्य शब्दमर्थस्य द्राक् प्रतीतिर्यतोऽजनि / स द्राक्षापाक इत्युक्तो बहिरन्तःस्फुरद्रसः / / आलम्ब्य शब्दमर्थस्य द्राक्प्रतीतिर्यतो न हि / स नालिकेरपाकः स्यादन्तर्गण्ड (? गूढ ) रसोदयः // -VIII. 6-7 द्राक्षापाकः स कथितो बहिरन्तःस्फुरद्रसः / स नारिकेलपाकः स्यादन्तYढरसोदयः / / -PRY pp. 67-69 In Chapter IX the author gives an exposition of 47 Arthalamkaras. Of these, he defines the first 33 Arthalamkaras, including 33 divisions of Upama and 20 divisions of Ruppaka, after Dandi's Kavyadarsa62. The rest of the Arthalamkaras are possibly defined by the author keeping in view Rudrata's Aryas dealing with them. In Chapter X the author treats of Kavyadosas viz; Pada-dosas, Vakyadosas, Artha-dosas and Rasa-dosas, and also describes the circumstances in
