it is to your advantage - for, then we shall be friends, or" - is equally beautiful. Mammața's Eightfold Division Rejected
Hemachandra has treated of the three sub-divisions of the Middling type of poetry. But because Mammața has given, eight varieties of this type, Hemachandra makes it a point to remark that there are only three sub-types of this type and not eight (sta 2 72277–154ūzt a car27 ).
. As for Mammața's treatment of the 2274757, he takes up the sub-divisions of the Guņibhūtakāvya at the outset of the fifth Ullasa of the Kāvyaprakāśa. According to him, the varieties of the poetry of subordinated suggestion are: (1) Non-concealed (Agūdha), (2) Subservient to another (Aparasyāngam), (3) Subservient to the establishment of the expressed meaning (Vācyasiddhyangam), (4) Indistinct (Asphutam), (5) Of doubtful prominence, (6) Of equal prominence, (7) Implied by intonation and (8) Not striking (Asundaram).
in his gloss, Mammaţa remarks that, like the full breasts of damsels, the hidden sense produces charm. But the sense which is not hidden, being obvious, becomes as if directly expressed. Hence it is subordinate only. Then he illustrates the non-concealed or explicit sense. Mammața also illustrates Rasa as being subservient to the emotion (Bhāva); a Bhāva to another Bhāva, a Bhāvaprasama as subservient to an emotion, the rise of fear as subservient to an emotion, the conjunction of fury and equanimity to emotion. All these are cited by Hemachandra from the Kavya Prakāśa (V).
Hemachandra says: "Not Eight ( 127 )” and then he cites the Kävyaprakaśa V. 45-46 of Mammața, saying '7UTĘ FIAT:' (Viveka, p. 157). The Adhama or Avara Kāvya
Indeed, a poem lacking in Rasa etc. cannot be called a variety of poetry. So long as an idea or reality is not touched
