________________ 106 mitre kvapi gate saroruha.vane baddhanane tamyati krandatsu bhramaresu viksya dayitasannam purah sarasam / cakrahvena viyogina bisalata na "svadia nojjhita kanthe kevalam argaleva nihita jivasya nirgacchatah || 1 So from the above it becomes clear that alamkaras do not necessarily beautify the Rasa. The distinction between alamkaras and gunas is like that between ornaments of the body and the virtues which inhere the soul. To put it otherwise the relation between gunas and Poetry is that of samavaya (inherent relation) whereas that between alamkaras and Poetry is that of samyoga (ordinary relation). It is pointed out (p. 97, 1. 8) that according to some, this distinction between gunas and alamkaras is nothing but blind convention, having no material basis. According to them both these, gunas and alamkaras, are invariably connected. Mammata remarks that it is quite incorrect to say so. 8 Vamana distinguishes between gunas and alamkaras in a different way 4. According to him the properties (dharmah) which bring about the beauty of Poetry (kavya-sobha) are gunas, while alamkaras merely augment this beauty. Mammata, quoted in the original, does not accept Vamana's view. He argues that if gunas bring about kavya-sobha, either they all do so or some of them do so, If all (samasta) do so, the Ritis, Gaudi and Pancali, wbich do not contain all gunas ", would cease to be the soul of Poetry.? If some gunas (katipayaih) can bring about the beauty of kavya, the following would be a kavya, though it is not. adrav atra prajvalaty agnir uccaih prajyah prodyann ullasatyesa dhumah / * Here the guna Ojas is present yet it is not a kavya, which it should be if the mere presence of some guna gave rise to Poetry. The following may with perfect justification be called Poetry on account of its alamkaras irrespective of the gunas: (p. 97, 1. 11) svarga-praptir anenaiva dehena varavarnini / asya radacchada-taso nyak-karotitaram sudham // 1.
