SAHRDAYĀLOKA khandaśaḥ sandhi-samjñāns tān vibhāgān api khandayet. catuḥsașțis tu tāni syuḥ angānity aparam punaḥ. - 26 patākā-vșttam apgūnam ekā"dyair anu-samdhibhih angāny atra yathālābham
abhisandhim prakarīm nyaset. - 27 etc. DR. then goes on to define or explain ‘anka' i.e. act, etc. We will look into the same when we take up the ND. which has a more methodical, mature and scientific presentation.
ND. - In the first viveka the ND. treats of "nātaka", with all its topics. Thus ‘anka', 'viskambhaka etc.' 'upāya-s i.e. bīja”, etc. daśā i.e. avasthās, sandhi-s and sandhyanga-s are treated in the first chapter. The topics connected with nataka, or rūpaka in general follow like flowers and fruits following buds. The presentation reminds us of the great Vāgdevatāvatāra Mammata, who has given chapters treating different topics as mentioned in the definition of ‘kāvya'.
The ND. also follows the same technique. The definition of nataka follows after first (ND. 1/3) enumerating the types of major rūpakas that are twelve - in the opinion of the authors. Nāțaka is defined as (ND. I. 5) -
“khyātā"dya-rāja-caritam dharma-kāryártha-sat-phalam, sā’nkopāya-daśā-sandhi
divyángam tatra nāțakam." The Vștti reads : "khyātā"dya-rājasya caritam yatra ity anyapadārthaḥ. iha khyātatvam tridhā nāmnā, ceșțitena, desena ca. kauśāmbyām caritam vatsarājena eva rañjakam. caritam api vatsarājasya, kausāmbyām vāsavadattā-läbhā"dikam eva. vāsavadattā lābhā"dikam vatsarājasya kauśāmbyām eva.
carita-khyātatvam ca pradhāna caritā’pekṣayā. tatas tad anuyāyīni rañjakatvā'rtham akhyātāny api caritāni kriyante. tena bahusu rāma-prabandhesu sītā-haraņā”nayanópāyānām' yuddhānām gauņa-pātrāņi. apareșām ca bhaạitivišesā"dīnām bhedépi na virodhah.
