stresses propriety of metres. This work is important: from a literary view point also. Hemachandra's work on metres is the Chando'nušāsana. It follows the traditional scheme and contains only the definitions of metres; it does not give examples. Vide, Dr. Suryakant, Kșemendra Studies, pp. 78-88. Vide V.V. II, p. 301, Mahimabhatta gives alternate verse to remove the fault. On Vivek page 216, Hemachandra reproduces a passage from the V.V. (p. 288), under Pratyavocata etc., though he drops some expressions and verses in between. The point at issue in this present para is that the fault of Prakramabheda is akin to Vidheyāmarsa but as a fault it depends more on difference of manner of treatment rather than on non-predication. It involves propriety of Word, e.g., in Tālājāyanti etc. An unbroken harmony of start and end is good for poetry. Any breach ot that harmony is indeed a fault. The quotation from
Vāmana (5-1-1) does not apply here. 119 Vide S. C. Sen Gupta's "Towards A Thery of the
Imagination" pp. 152-53. 120 The Doctrine of Dosas in Sanskrit Poetics in "Essays in
Sanskrit Criticism" pp. 163-64.
Chapter Five :
121 Kavyapradipa explains Acalasthitayah and gives three
characteristics of Guņa. Vide K. P. P. (Nir. Ed.), p. 274. (K. P. VIII. 1 ff).
122 'Santamiti etc.' is explained ably by K. P. P., p. 275 (K. P.
VIII. 2 ff).
123 Kāvyapradipa also disposes of Udbhata's views on the
distinction between Guņas and Alaskarās, p. 278 (K. P. VIII 2 ff).
