Kavyanusasana
the Kāvyānusāsana is not found in the Kāvyādarsa but it can be gathered from two verses 281 - 282 of the second parichchheda of the K. D. Or study the footnotes on pp. 275 - 286 where Dandin and Vāmana are often mentioned by name and compare the quotations with the original. In the case of Daņdin one is almost tempted to assume a Sūtra-work on Poetics different from the Kāvyādarma
Indexes I have given seven indexes which are printed after the Kāvyānusāsana and the Viveka. The first one gives the alphabetical index of all the Samskrta and Prākrta illustrations - in verse and in prose - with the names of the works wherever found in rectangular brackets; the second one similarly gives all the authorities quoted; the third one Prakrta verses separately with their Samskýta translations; the fourth one gives all the Sūtras in the alphabetical order; the fifth one gives the names of works and authors mentioned by Hemachandra; while the sixth one gives those put in by the editor; the seventh one gives technical words, place - names and other important words, indicating only important references. In view of the fact that the Kāvyānusāsana - especially the Viveka - is a mine of information regarding Samskặta Poetics, these indexes, particularly the last one, I hope, will be of some service to the students of Samskrta Poetics and Poetry.
After these indexes is printed the appendix giving the Tippaña. In editing the Țippaņa I have taken the liberty of emending the text at a few places.
