SAHRDAYĀLOKA 'samkara' and 'samsrsti', we arrive at 71 x 4 = 284, and these when multiplied by 35, we get 7420 types. Actually the figure comes to 9940. Again, it is not correct to count the same number of varieties for the gunībhūta-vyangya also, for following Dhv. II. 29, the nine varieties that we arrive at of alamkāra-vyangya through vastu, cannot be taken as sub-varieties of guṇī-bhūta-vyangya, for, according to A., where alamkāra is suggested through 'vastu', we necessarily have varieties of dhvani only and not that of gunī-bhūta-vyangya - "dhruvam dhvanyangatā” are Ā.'s words. Dhv. III. 43 reads as :
"sa-guni-bhūta-vyangyaiḥ sálankāraiḥ saha-prabhedaiḥ svaiḥ, samkara-samsrstibhyām
punar apy udyotate bahudhā.” tasya ca dhvaneh sva-prabhedaiḥ guṇībhūta-vyangyena vācyálamkāraiśca samkara-samsșsți-vyavasthāyām kriyamāņāyām bahuprabhedatā laksye drśyate. tathā hi, sva-prabheda-samkīrṇaḥ sva-prabheda-samsrstaḥ, guņi-bhūta-vyangyasamkīrṇaḥ, guņībhūta-vyangya-samspstaḥ, vācyálamkārántara-samkīrṇaḥ, vācyalamkārântara-samspstah, samsrstálamkāra-samkīrauh, samsrstálamkārasamsșstaḥ, ca iti bahudhā dhvaniḥ prakāśate."
"It shines in diverse ways with its several varieties of subordinated suggestion, figures, its own-sub-varieties, their intermingling and collocation.” (Dhv. III. 43)
(vrtti.) - If one should take into account the permutations and combinations of the different types of dhvani itself, and the varieties of subordinated suggestion and figures of sense, their resulting number would be many. Thus to name some of the major manifestation of dhvani - (i) merged with its own varieties, (ii) co-existing with its own varieties, (iii) merged with subordinated suggestion (iv) co-existing with subordinated suggestion, (v) merged with other figures of sense, (vi)coexisting with other figures (vii) merged with other co-existing figures (viii) coexisting with other mutually co-existing figures.” (Trans. K.Kris. pp. 253, ibid)
