________________ In view of the definition of Pramāņa as given in Pramāņavārtika I. 31 ("Pramāņa or Proof is unobstructed or uncontradicted knowledge"), in poetry also the same methodology is recommended; as e.g., in the verse lyam gehe laksmi... etc. (U.R.C. 1.38). Hemachandra adopts the verse Trak tāravi nivasanam (to emphasize the above points) and the verse (No. 353) Saṁrambhah karikitamegha....etc. from the Vyaktiviveka (the last mentioned verse explains the same blemish in a sentence). However, the words Yo'sau in the fourth line (in verse 353), give rise to a discussion on another aspect of the same fault. Here the use of Yad without Tad is a blemish) for. Yad must be followed by Tad and between the two, Tad is very important and hence it should not be dropped. The discussion on this point is quite exhaustive as presented in the gloss. (K.A.S., pp. 245-247). Mammața states that (1) The personal pronoun Tad, when it refers to an object (a) that is under discussion (b) well-known or (c) known by experience, does not require the use of Yad (K.P. VII, gloss); (2) If the pronoun Yad is used correlatedly in a sentence that follows, it does not require, because of its potency, the use of Tat correlated to the sentence that precedes; because herein Yad implies Tad; (3) But the pronoun Yat, used in the beginning, does not fulfil its expectancy without the use of Tat in a latter sentence; (4) When both are mentioned, nothing is wanting; (5) In some cases, both may be implied; as e.g. in Ye nama kecid etc.; (6) Tat and Adas juxtaposed with Yat, signify well-knownness. (Veņi. 1.13); (7) The use of Yat twice, with tat used once, implies all the objects singly, This lead is followed by Visvanatha also. Compound Words While discussing Mahimabhatta's illustrative verse on, Ambikakesari, Hemachandra reproduces an expository passage in the Viveka (pp. 247-258) which runs into 12 pages.
