with it. Ācārya Hemacandra's contributions to these branches of knowledge are well-known; Siddhahema-sabdānuśāsana (Grammar), Kavyānušāsana (Poetics), Chandonušāsana (Metrics) and Pramāņa-Mimämśā (Logic and Dialectics).
-faut-774760#ta: (or 47-) whose mind is experienced or clever, i.e. who is proficient by nature (or birth) in the production (af) of (works relating to) the three sciences. The phrase may also mean who is proficient in composing works relating to the three sciences and imparting them (aet) to his pupils. The expression ‘सर्गनिसर्ग' occurs in the नैषधीयचरितः ......... अयं affaat GEET: 1 (9.48) The commentator Nārāyaṇa explains it as affaqiy: स्वभावो वा ।

In the Natyadarpaņa the authors clearly call it a HTUT when they quote from it with the introductory remark : यथा वाऽस्मदुपज्ञे मल्लिकामकरन्दे प्रकरणे 4 : The anomaly could be explained by understanding that the word arz is used here in its general sense of a play (69#) and not in its technical sense.

Possibly such objections might have been actually raised during the lifetime of Acarya Hemaçandra and Ramaçandra,
