________________ 107 Here Visesokti and Vyatireka are the figures of speech; by virtue of these the verse is a kavya independently of the guna, Ojas, which does not here heighten the charm of the Erotic sentiment. (p. 97, 1. 12) Then are given the general directions regarding the use of the three gunas in the different styles and Rasas. In the style without compounds (asamasa-marga), depicting sentiments other than Adbhuta (Wonder), Krodha (Wrath), Bibhatsa (Loathing), Vira (Heroic) and having figures of speech like Rasavat, Preyasvat, Urjasvin, Samahita etc, the excessive development of Madhurya and Prasada is highly pleasurable. In the middling style (madhya-samasa-marga) with moderate compounds, delineating sentiments other than Karuna and Vipralambha Sragara and having figures of meaning like Upama etc, moderate use of Madhurya and Prasada is desirable. In the style with very long compounds (atidirgha-samasa-marga) with figures of sound like Anuprasa and of sense like Fati and rathasamkhya, Ojas is necessarily expected in the delineation of Rasas like Bibhatsa, and Adbhuta. The chapter ends with the several illustrations of these rules. SECTION III In this section alarkaras pertaining to sound (sabda) are dealt with. Earlier writers like Bhamaha and Dandi did distinguish between the figures pertaining to sound (sabda) and those pertaining to sense (artha), though they did not treat of them in separate sections. Bharata deals with one sabdalamkara viz Yamaka. Bhamaha deals with Anuprasa, Lalanuprasa and Yamaka. He does not countenance the view of those who accept Prahelikas.3 It is obvious, therefore, that he should not treat of Citra as a sabalamkara. Dandi deals with Anuprasa, Yamaka, and Citra. Vamana treats of two Sabdalamkaras viz Yamaka and Anuprasa in a separate section.? 1. Bhamaha deals with Anuprasa, Yamaka and Latanuprasa in Ch. II of his Kavyalamkara, along with alamkaras of sense like Rupaka, Dipaka, Upama &c. Dandi treats of Anuprasa along with gunas in the Ist chapter of his Kavyadarsa, he mentions Yamaka too (vide ch. I. 61) but for convimence sake treats of it along with Citra in the Third Section of his work, where in dosas of Kavya also are dealt with. But both of them distinguish between Arthalamkaras and Sabdalamkaras (Vide B, K, L, I. 15 ed.). 2. He also mentions and illustrates Gramyanuprasa (B. K. L. II. 6.) vide also (ibid) II 4, 5, 8 and 9. 3. (ibid) II. 19 and 20. 4. Anuprasa i.e. Srutyanuprasa (K. D. I. 52) and Vittyanuprasa (K, D, I. 55). 5. (ibid) I. 61. 6. It appears that Dandi does not include Citra in Sabdalamkara for he mention citra-marca distinctly from alamkaras of Sabda and Artha (vide K, D. III. 186). The compound AT&TT: there, applies to fahit alone (vide K. D. III, 78 and 83). 7. vide V. K. L. S. IV. i. (Here qrEIGATE is also given which is stage of others).
