Kavya."158 Note that Diptarasatva means prominence of sentiment. 1 5 9
Our author caustically comments : "Rasas like Raudra etc. are fiery, others like Srngāra etc., its reverses; so, the portrayal of śộngāra etc. will be AKANTÍ, as per your definition !"
Or, better still, Kānti is included in our treatment of Rasas and Dhvani. Conclusive Rejection of Ten Guņas
Thus, Hemachandra proves that the ten Guņas of Bharata, Dandin and Vāmana are (1) overlapping and confusing in definition, (2) included in our Guņas (three), and (3) some are mere negation of Dosas. We may note here that Mammața has actually shown this very effectively in Kavyaprakāśa VIII. 72 and in the gloss that follows it. So, neither ten śabdaguņas nor Arthaguņas stick. All Guņas are Rasaguņas - even letters, compounds, diction, etc, are Rasavyañjaka.
As for Pathagunas, we may note that Bharata has devoted a separate section to a consideration of the most proper way of correct speaking in the drama according to the emotions (Pāthyagunāh). And Vāmana also refers to Pāthaguņas.
