"Daśa-rupaka-Vicāra"
1843 as far as possible, and then only accepted. With the material dealing with alamkāraśāstra proper, i.e. with Bharata, Bhāmaha and the rest, we have tried to think in an original way as prompted by the grace of our gurus - Prof. R. C. Parikh, Prof. R. B. Athavale, and Prof. Dr. V. M. Kulkarni, who at the age of 87+, even today guides us to newer and newer insights. All great names, Dr. Raghavan included, are consulted on occasions and all this is clearly recognised, but we have tried to re-evaluate the findings of these great scholars also. So, at the end of Vol. I., completed with the grace of the Divine, we may say : .
"Aum pūrņam adaḥ, pūrņam idam pūrņāt pūrņam udacyate, pūrņasya pūrņam ādāya
pūrņam evā’vašisyate." - iti śivam - “That (= the reliable source] is perfect, This [the material presented before you]
is perfect. From [the source which is) perfect the perfect is drawn. After (drawing] perfect [material] from perfect [source] only the perfect (which is placed in your hand) remains.
Aum śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ. · Aum Mā Aum.
