Śabdavșttis in Bhāmaha, Daņdin, etc.
217 Daņdin : In the Kāvyādarśa (= K.D.) of Dandin, we come across the following direct or indirect references to different sabdavrttis. Actually, there is no reference to 'abhidhā' as such, but references to 'gunavrtti' or laksana are as follows: K.D. I. 95, has,
“nișthūtódgirņa-vāntā"di gauņa-výtti-vyapāśrayam, atisundaram anyatra
grāmya-kaksām vigāhate.” the 'prabhā' (pp. 106), (Edn. B.O.R.I.) observes : “kānicit padāni kāvye gauņavịttyā eva śobhām āvahanti, na tu mukhya-vịttyā.” - Thus it is clear that Dandin here not only clearly refers to the a-mukhya or gauņa or subordinate power of a word in poetry, but recommends it to create beauty it poetry. At II. 254, Dandin observes,
"te'mi prayoga-mārgeşu
gauņa-vștti-vyapāśrayāt atyanta-sundarā dsstās
tad-udāhstayah yathā.” Dr. D. K. Guptā, the author of 'sudarśanā vyākhyā' (Edn. '76, Delhi) (pp. 214) observes :
"te ami anantaroktāḥ dūrakāryādayas' citrahetavaḥ prayoga-mārgeşu kaviprabandha-paddhatișu gauņa-vștti-vyapāśrayād gaunyāḥ prasiddha-visayaviparītāyāḥ samāropitāyāḥ vịtteḥ śabda-vyāpārasya, hetuvyāpārasya vā vyapāśrayād alambanād hetoh atyanta-sundarāḥ ekānta-hrdyāḥ drstāḥ lakṣitāḥ bhavanti.”
Dandin favours the use of 'gauņa-vítti' as against abhidhā, or mukhyā vịttiḥ. He says that at times in hetu alamkāra, the cause is said to be residing at a place far from that of the effect, or, the effect is described as occurring simultaneously with its cause, or the hetu is said to operate after the effect takes place. These actually, are instances where guna-vrtti functions. III. 100, samanarūpā prahelikā is defined as,
“samānarūpā gauņárthā”ropitair grathitā padaiḥ, parușā laksaņástitvamātra-vyutpädita-śrutiḥ 11"
