This treatment of Mukula's views suggests how he has influenced Bhoja in taking abhidhā as three-fold such as mukhyā, gauņī and lakṣaṇā. We know that this approach is different from the one seen in the kashmir school, the highest expression of which we noticed above in Jagannatha. But prior to that we have also to take note of Kuntaka and Mahima also, who influenced the Malava school like Mukula. The flowering of the thought as seen in the kashmir school is to be traced in Anandavardhana, who discusses abhidhã only from the angle of its difference from vyañjanā, and then in the treatment of Mammata and his followers. Jagannatha of course comes last but as in him we see the highest flight of abstract thinking and the final word on sabda-vrttis, we placed him first. Mukula, and Kuntaka are viewed as shaping influences for the Mālava tradition as seen in Bhoia and also for the kashmir tradition as seen in Mammata, for the K.P. is influenced by both the Dhv. and also the Abhidhāvṛtta-mātṛkā of Mukula. Hemacandra, we will go to observe, follows Mammata, but absorbs the teaching of Mukula and Bhoja also, while Vidyadhara, Vidyānātha, Viśvanātha and Kesava follow the lead of Mammata. So, now we will consider Kuntaka, who like Mukula had his share in shaping the views of Bhoja, because for Kuntaka also, 'abhidha' has a connotation wider then permitted by the kashmir school of thought.

Kuntaka After explaining the general definition of poetry and before explaining the special definition of it, Kuntaka first of all explains the form of word and meaning. He observes: evam kavyasya samanya-lakṣaṇe vihite viśeṣalakṣaṇam upa-kramate. tatra śabdárthayos tavat svarūpam nirupayati -
