SAHRDAYĀLOKA "tasya-asāranirāsāt sāra-grahaņāt ca cāruñaḥ karaņe tritayam idam vyāpriyate
śaktir-vyutpattir abhyāsaḥ ll” and then,
"manasi sadā susamādhini visphuraņam anekadhā abhidheyasya | akliştāni padāni ca
vibhānti yasyām asau saktiḥ //” (I. 15). Here, śyāmadeva's 'samādhi' is taken note of. Rudrața further observes : (I. 16):
"pratibhety aparair-uditā sahajótpădyā ca să dvidhābhavati pumsā saha jātatvād
anayos tu jyāyasī sahajā ll” Two fold pratibhā is accepted by Hemacandra also and later by Jagannātha. Earlier, Vāmana while accepting the importance of vyutpatti and abhyāsa, had attached greater importance to pratibh, and later Kuntaka while putting stress on pratibhā held that a poet's vyutpatti and abhyāsa also fall in line of his inherent nature. Supremacy of pratibhā is suggested by Kuntaka when he observes :
"yat kimcanā’pi vaicitryam tat-sarvam pratibhodbhavan | saukumārya-parispanda-syandi
yatra virājate ll” – (V. J. J. 28) "wherein every element of beauty is a result of the poet's imagination alone, and succeeds in conveying flashes of gentle gace" (Trans. K. Kri. - This is Sukumāra-mārga. pp. 329).
With all these thoughts in the background we come to evaluate Jagannātha's approach, wherein again 'pratibhā' is taken as the supreme and only cause of poetry.
Jagannātha is clear when he states that only pratibhā is the cause of poetry. He observes : (R. G. pp. 25, Edn. Prof. Athavale, uni. Book Production board, Guj. state, '74):
