________________ (4) Slcsa (p. 92. 1. 19): The definition Slesa given by Dandi is negative: "Cohesineness (slesa) is what does not involve Looseness." I "Looseness or Saithilya is what mainly consists of faintly-aspirated syllables." ' The ill of Sithila is: (p. 92, 1. 19) "malali-mala-lolali-kalila''3 Vamana defines Slesa thus (p. 19, 20): 'massnatvain slesah l' III. i. 11. (5) Samata (p. 92, 1. 29): Vamana defines it as the consistency or uniformity of style (marga 'bhedah ).* But Mammata points out that sometimes uniformity in style becomes a dosa, e g. in matangah kimu valgitaih kim aphalair adambarair jambukah saranga mahisa madam vrajata kim sunyesu sura na ke // kopatopa-samudbhototkata-sata-koter ibhareh purah sindhudhvanini huokste spurati pat tad garjitam garjitam // Here the soft style in the first two lines is changed into haish in the last, yet the beauty is heightened by this change. Tbe uniformity would have been a blemisa here. (p. 92, I. 29) Dandi's definition of Samala (Evenness) is: 'samam band hesv avisamam /'3. Absence of unevenness of structure (bandha) is Evenness (samata). The ill. of Evenness is: "candana - pranayodgandhi mando malaya-marutah 11" The other ills. are not traceable. (6) Samadhi (p. 93, 1. 10): Vamana defines this thus: "arohavaroha-kramah samadhih /"7 graduated rise from soft to harsh or fall from harsh to soft is called Samadhi. Then ensues a long discussion as to whether the aroha and avaroha respectively stand for Ojas and Prasada and if so whether Samadhi ean claim a separate status of a guna. According to Vamana it can. S (p. 94, 1. 12) Bhoja defines Samadhi thus: Samadhi is the super. imposition of the properties of something on something else. 1. K, D. (Trans) Dr. Belvalkar (P. 5) 2. (ibid --P. 5). 3. (ibid) I. 43. 4. V, K, L, S. III, i, 12. 5. K. D. I. 47 a. 6. (ibid) I. 49ab. The remarks of Dandi are borrowed by the original : 5 ayapaafisatearatti &c K, D. 1. 50. The ill, of waar of rits is: fata sheet Aigara: (ibid) I. 49. 7. K. L. S III. i. 13. 8. This discussion is based on V. K, L. S. : III. i. 14-20 and the Vrtti on them. 9. S. K. I. 72. cd. His desaitloa of Samadhi is based on Dandi's definition of that guna. (vide K. D. I. 93.)
