________________ of the eight kinds of Madayama-Kavya. Hemachandra holds that there are only three kinds of it (pp. 152-157) ..."287 In the second chapter, he draws upon the N.S. (VI-VII) and the Abhinavabhārati as also Locana and Bhoja's views (ref. to an account of the intermingling of Bhavas and of Rasābhāsa). The divisions of Kavya on the basis of Vyañjanā, as we have it in the K.P. marks the end of the chapter. The illustrations, over and above those based on the Dhvanyaloka, the Locana and the Abhinavab hārati are picked up from the Dasarupāvaloka, the Śrngāratilaka and from both of Bhoja's works on the Sastra, especially the Saravastikanthābharaṇa. And the Viveka draws upon the Locana and the Abh. bh. for the exposition of verses (Abh. bh. Vol. 1 pp. 286, 303-307; Locana pp. 80-81, 110, 67, 75, etc.), while the author takes his stand on Abhinava's acceptance of the nine Rasas and has three long passages from the Abhinavabhāratí on his topic, one of which discusses the Sättvikabhāvas as emanating from the transformation of the human body in the elemental aspect. The. Abh, bh. extract in the Viveka on Rasa-experience is sometimes fuller, more direct and better connected as in the case of the interpretation of Sankuka. It is noteworthy that his estimate of KarunaVipralambha as a variety of Karuņa Rasa is fundamentally different from that of the Nāt. śāş. and the Sarasvatikanthābharana but agrees with the view of the Dasarūpaka.2 8 8 Hemachandra's Dosa-doctrine is in keeping with the Rasadhvani doctrine and as such his inspiration on Rasadosas also lies in the Dhv. Al. and Locana; still his dependence on Mammața and his source-author Mahimabhatta is evident in Chapter 111 which deals with Dosas. "Mahimabhatta's hand is writ large on this portion, as is indicated by the long excerpts running over page after page in the Viveka. Sometimes the wording in the Viveka is delusive, but there is no difficulty in finding out the source."2 8 9 We have noted Dr. Raghavans views on the treatment of Gunas by Hemachandra. Dr. V. M. Kulkarni observes that his 470 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
