A Comparative Study of Ubhayadosas

Now, Hemachandra's Aprayukta is called by the same name by Mammata and Bhoja. Rudrata regards this fault as a sense-fault, and calls it Apratitam. Our author's Aslilatvam (threefold) is Bhoja's Gramyam - Asabhyartham Aslilatvam and it is manifold. Mammata, however, calls it by the same name. Vāmana has two more divisions under Aslila, in addition to those of Mammata. According to him Aslila is a padarthadoṣa. Bhoja makes Aslila a sub-division of Gramya and makes Amangala and Ghṛṇavat coordinate with it. Asamarthatva here is the same in Mammata, Rudrata and Viśvanatha, but Vagbhata calls it Aprasiddha (e.g. Hanti). Hemachandra's Anucitartha is common to Mammata and Viśvanatha. The Śrutikatu of Mammata and Hemachandra is Vamana's and Bhoja's Kasta and Śrutikaṭu of Vagbhata but Paruşa and Duḥśrava of Vidyanatha (P.R.Y.B.) and Viśvanatha respectively. Hemachandra's Klista is the Kliṣṭa of Vamana's Padarthadosa Klista, Bhoja's and Vidyadhara's Apuṣṭārtha and Klistadosa and Klista of Viśvanatha. Vägbhaṭa calls it Asammita. Hemachandra's Avimṛṣṭavidheyamsa is the namesake of Mammata's as well as of Viśvanatha's same Dosa.
