SAHRDAYĀLOKA prakrtyavasthā-sandhyanga-sandhyantara-vibhūşanaiḥ patākāsthānakair vstti-tadangaiś ca pravṛttibhiḥ. - 133 viskambhakā”di-samyuktam nāțakam tu trivargadam
tadetannāțakārambha-prakāro vaksyate mayā.” · 134 After discussing topics related to nāțaka, the author quotes an opinion of Bharata suggesting that the nātaka has to be resorted to for the removal of all unhappiness. In the types such as pūrna, etc. (as noted in BP. by Sā., given by Subandhu) - Singabhūpāla declares his lack of faith as they are not so charming and not supported by Bharata. Then RS. proceeds to define 'prakarana' etc. (pp. 285). The verses (p. 285) read as - tathā ca bharataḥ -
"dharmártha-sādhanam nāryam sarva-duḥkhā'panodakst, äsevadhavam tad șsayas tasyotthānam tu nātakam." - iti. nāțakasya ca pūrņādi- i bhedāḥ kecana kalpitāḥ teşām nā'tīva ramyatvād a-parīksā-ksamatvataḥ - 213
muninā’nādệtatvāc ca, tān uddestum udāsmahe.” The SD. defines nāțaka as - (pp. 321; VI. 7-11)
"nātakam khyāta-vșttam syāt pañca-sandhi-samanvitam, vilāsardhyā"di-gunavad yuktam nānā-vibhūtibhiḥ. - 7 sukha-duḥkha-samudbhūti nānā-rasa-nirantaram, panca"dikā daśa-parās tatránkāḥ parikīrtitāḥ. - 8 prakhyāta-vamśyo rājarșir dhīródāttaḥ pratāpavān, divyo'tha divyā'divyo vā guņavān nāyako mataḥ.. 9
