Dvyāśrayakāvya on the word Ibhyapoțebhyayuvati Abhayatilakagaņi explains that she is a Hastini category of women as it is called by the writers on erotic science (V. 89).
MOKŞA : According to Hemacandra, salvation can be attained by Yoga as well as Bhakti. After the attainment of salvation, one does not revolve in the circle of birth and death (1.30; XV.82). One can attain salvation by drinking the nectar exuding from the aperture of the head (Ku. VIII. 24). In his opinion, saivation can be attained by giving up the attachment to women (Ku. VII. 12).
MUSIC : Hemcandra has referred to some instruments as well as technical terms of music. Amough musical tunes, he has specified the Şadja (I. 67; X. 20), Madhyama (1.67), Gāodbāra (X. 87) and Pañcama (1.67). He has referred to Kekārāga (III. 23) which, perhaps, resembles to Şaďja tunel. He has referred to descending and acending sounds in music (Ku. II. 67). By music one can lose his senses and may be perplexed (1.24).
DANCE AND DRAMATURGY : Besides dance (III.37), drama and dramaturgy are frequently referred to in the Dvyāśrayakāvya. Hemacandra has mentioned the preceptor of the auditorium called Rangācārya (I. 180). He has referred to the Bhāvas which are explained Sāttvika and Rati etc. by Abhayatilakagaņi (X.35, 41). He has mentioned Lāsya (III.36;X.28), Rāsa, Hallīsa (X. 22), Tāla (X.51) and Nāndī Tūrya (V.I). Some technical words like "Svādhīnabhartskā' etc. (1.27) occur in the poem.
