Moreover there is nothing that is not useful to a Poet; every word, sense, maxim or art becomes subservient to poetry, hence great is the burden of the poet, who has to press all these into his service. Therefore such discussions are quite useful in a work on Poetics. The Pratijnadi.dosa is borrowed from Bhamaha's Kavyalamkara. Pratijna-hina arises when the pratijna (proposition) is faulty. But pratijna is based on means of proof-viz Perception (Pratyaksa) and Inference (Anumana). Therefore the definition of Perception is given (p. 46, 1. 25) according to Dignaga: "Pratyksam kalpanapodham/6. Viveka discusses in detail the other varieties of Pratyaksa or perception viz Manasa-pratyaksa (mental perception) and Yogi-pratyaksa (intellegent intuition of the saint) (p. 47, 1. 15) After this the definition of perception according to Vasubandhu is given: 'tato 'rthad iti kecana'? (p. 47, 1. - 20) Kalpana (construction) is defined: "Kalpanam nama-jatyadi-yojanam pratijanate /"S Both these definitions of Pratyaksa are refuted by Bhamaha. (p. 52, 1. 3) Definition of Anumana (Inference) given by Bhamaha 10 is discussed'. "Trirupal lingato jnanam/" 1. प्रायेण दुर्बोधतया शास्त्राब्दिभ्यत्यमेधसः / 1979cathograp2122: 11 B, K, L. V. 2. 2.
