________________ 271 (P. 457. A. 8. S. 6. The hero in the poem should be a man of lofty character. विधिनिषेधव्युत्पादकत्वम् The poem should indirectly suggest as to what is worth practising and what ought to be avoided (ata); the story should be consistent and homogeneous. A list of the things which should be described in the poem is given below. This list mostly agrees with all such lists given in other books on Rhetorics, for instance, in the first chapter of #13rezi, qust gives a similar list. Below we find some useful hints given by the as regards the composition of a poem. For instance, in a poem, the style must agree with the subjectmatter of the poem ( TAITETTHC97), If the poet, for instance, describes love, the style must be pas, full of soft words. If otra is to be delineated, then the style must be fit, full of harsh words. HESI 75094 is a very clever hint. The poem should be composed in such a manner that it would win the hearts of very sort of readers. Desire of fame is one of the legitimate aspirations of a poet. पात्रचेष्टाकथान्तरानुषञ्जनम् the sense of propriety as regards the place, the time, the movements, the characters in the story must be observed. Sometimes, incidentally (कथान्तरानुषजनम् ) the poet should introduce minor stories as in कुमारसंभव the story of Cupid's curse. मार्गद्वयानुवर्तनम् , following the two paths. The two paths obviously are those referred to by Dandin in his rargat quoted by the commentary. In a poem the best way is to describe the hero as possessing excellent qualities and as utterly defeat. ing his enemies.
