________________
(969 ) The commentary of the first Kārikā
इह शास्त्रे हि निश्चये प्रसिद्धौ वा व्यवहरणं व्यवहारः प्रवृत्तिनिवृत्यात्मनः स व्यवहार एकस्य केवलस्य, न हि गामित्युक्ते प्रवृत्तिनिवृत्तिर्वा गम्यते।
The Text ends thus:
समन्वयप्रदीपोऽयं कुडुकोक्तावना मया दर्शितो विबुधैरत्र कार्याः स्खलितयोजनाः ॥
कुडुकः पण्डितः एकः तेनोक्तो योऽध्वा मार्गः समन्वयदीपाख्यो प्रन्थविशेष इत्यर्थः। स तु गद्यरूपेण स्थितः, अयं तु पद्यरूपेणैतावानेच विशेषः ।
समाप्तोऽयं समन्वयप्रदीपसङ्केतः चिबुधसमूहवन्दितपादपनस्य श्रीगङ्गाधरस्वामिनः शिष्येण पण्डित-देवभद्रेण इति भद्रम् ।
So it appears that Kuduka wrote a work entitled atragata: in prose, which was rendered into Kārikā form by Devasarma the pupil of Gangādhara Svāmī, and named Samamayapradīpa. The author wrote a commentary on his own Kārikās, which was entitled समन्वयप्रदीपसंकेतः। Aufrecht attributes Samanvayapradīpa to Kudukācārya which appears to be wrong.
He also says that Samanvayapradīpa is quoted by Abhinavagupta in his Dhvanyālokalocana, a statement for which he gives no authority. In that case, the work must have been written before the 10th century.
