been noted in the footnotes and some of them have, even, been adopted in the text. The Nātyaşāstra of Bharata with the published portions of Abhinavagupta's commentary, the Kāvyādarsa of Dandin, the KāvyaSutrālamkāra of Vāmana, the Kāvyamīmāņsā of Rājaşekhara, the Dasarūpaka with the Avaloka of Dhanika and other works have proved very useful in the task of guessing correct readings.
As will be apparent on a persual of the pages of the Samskrta text, the Kāvyānusāsana and the Viveka are printed in different types, and the Viveka is printed below the Kāvyānūsāsana. In the Kāvyānūšāsana, the Sūtras are printed in black types. All of them are numbered. After the end of the first adhyāya the Sūtras have two numbers, the left-hand one indicating the continuous number while the right-hand one the number in the adhyāya. These have been noted at the head of every page; e. g. p. 128: (84) 24. 25. 98. Here y's is the continuous number while 99 is the number of the Sūtra in the second adhyāya.
All the quotations are also numbered continuously. Those that come in as illustrations are numbered in Devanāgarī figures, while those that come in as authorities are numbered in Arabic ones. Quotations in the Viveka are also numbered in the same way though separately.
I have made an attempt to trace the quotations
