places the reading सदृक shows variant readings तोटक and नाटक ( p. 180, 1. 12, p. 181, 1.1 ). In this context some extracts from the Intro - duction (pp. 52-3) may be given here: "The systematic treatment of all the twenty kinds of Uparupakas, however, is found only in the Bhavaprakāśana. The list of seventeen Uparūpakas, as supplied by the Agnipurana, cannot be considered as very early as the Purāṇa itself contains quotations from the Dhvanyaloka and displays remarkable similarity with the Bhoja's theory of Śṛngārarasa. Considering all these facts we can conclude for the present that these Uparūpakas were unknown when the Natyaśastra was composed, but originated before the time of Dhanika, and probably Kohala was responsible for inventing these Uparūpakas. Among the lists of Uparūpakas supplied by several writers beginning from Dhanika to Viśvanatha the heaviest is perhaps that of Saradatanaya who mentions two lists each having twenty names ( pp. 221, 8; 255, 1 ). But in the first list Saṭṭaka has an independent place while Bhāņa is omitted and in the second list which seems to be more accurate Bhāna is mentioned instead of Saṭṭaka as the latter is included in the Natikā." "Saṭṭaka also is mentioned here as a different form of Natikā (p. 244, 15 ), but once again this subject is brought for discussion at the end of the section dealing with the Uparūpakas ( p. 269, 1). Here following Bhoja Sāradātanaya gives the Sattaka an independent place thereby increasing the number of Uparūpakas." The relevant passages may be given here. After the description of the नाटिका, we have the following lines on p. 244 : सैव प्रवेश केनापि विष्कम्भेन विना कृता । अङ्कस्थानीयविन्यस्त चतुर्यवनिकान्तरा । प्रकृष्ट-प्राकृतमयी सट्टकं नामतो भवेत् ।. In another context, after a remark ते नृत्यभेदाः प्रायेण संख्यया विंशतिर्मता (p. 255 ), the सट्टक is thus described on p. 269 : सदृकं नाटिकाभेदो नृत्यभेदात्मकं भवेत् । कैशिकी भारतीयुक्तहीन रौद्ररसादिकम् ॥ सर्वसंधिविहीनं च नाटिकाप्रतिरूपकम् । शूरसेनमहाराष्ट्रवाच्यभाषादिकल्पितम् ॥ अङ्कस्थानीयविच्छेदचतुर्यवनिकान्तरम् । छादनस्खलन भ्रान्तिनिह्नवादेरसंभवात् ॥ न वदेत्प्राकृत भाषां राजेति कतिचिज्जगुः । मागध्या शौरसेन्या वा वदेद्राजेति केचन ॥ नाटिकाप्रतिरूपं यद्विशेषो रूपकस्य तत् । सट्टकं तेन तस्याहुर्भाषां तां प्राकृतीं परे ॥ राजशेखरकृतं तद्यथा कर्पूरमञ्जरी ।.
The नाटक लक्षणरत्नकोश (ed. Dillon, London 1937 ) of Sagara - nandin (c. 13th centerry A. D. ) describes सट्टक thus on p. 133 : अथ सट्टकम् । तच्च नाटिका - [ pp. 113-4] प्रतिरूपकम् । कैशिकी-भारतीप्रधानम् । रौद्रवीरभयानकबीभत्समवमर्श संधिशून्यम् । यथा कर्पूरमञ्जरी । अन्तर्यमनिकान्तम् । यथा यमनिकयावच्छेदा भवन्ति तथात्रापि । शौरसेनीप्राच्यामहाराष्ट्रीयुक्तम् । स्त्रीवद्राज्ञोऽपि प्राकृतपाठः । यद्यपि बादरायणप्रभृतिभिरुक्तं राज्ञः संस्कृतपाठः कार्यात् प्राकृतपाठः । तत्र रूपकमेवेदं कार्यमिति राज्ञापि प्राकृतपाठः कर्तव्यः । In another context (p. 90), about the language of the , there is a remark: सट्टके स्त्री प्रधानत्वाद्रूपकस्यानुरोधतः । नृपः स्त्रीवत्पठेदेष पाठस्य नियतो विधिः ॥
