SAHRDAYĀLOKA bhavatu tarhi caturthi, drstatvāt. astu vā laksaņā eva. - (Tattvabindu, pp. 157, ibid) - This laksaņā or padárthánvaya-sakti is different from laksaņā of the ālamkārikas and probably because of this, others might have named it differently as Tātparya sakti -
Alamkārikas : As seen above some of the later Bhātra Mimāmsakas called it Tātparya vrtti in order to distinguish it from laksanā as such. It is suggested by some scholars that probably the Mimāmsakas in kashmir followed this tradition which was mentioned by Abhinavagupta and Mammața. These two have also placed gaunī under laksanā though of course Hemacandra revives gaunī as an independent vịtti. So, for the alamkārikas of the kashmir school in general, following the lead of Abhinavagupta and Mammata, tātparya is an additional vrtti, with vyañjanā as the fourth or turīyā vștti. Abhinavagupta observes : (Locana on Dhv. I. 4) : "tena samayápekṣā vācyávagamanaśaktir abhidhāśaktiḥ, tad anyathāanupapatti-sahāyā’rthāvabodhanaśaktis tātparya-śaktiḥ, mukhyártha bādhā'disahakaryapeksā’rtha pratibhāsana-śaktis lakṣaņā-śaktiḥ. tat-sakti-traya

"tātparyākhyām vịttim āhuḥ padārthánvayabodhane, tātparyártham tad artham ca
vākyam tad-bodhakam pare.” (II. 20, S.D.) and also,
- abhidhāyāḥ ekaika-padártha-bodhana-virāmad vākyártha-rūpasya padárthánvayasya bodhikā tātparyam nāma vrtcih. tad arthaś ca tātparyárthah. tad bodhakam ca vākyam iti abhihitánvayavādinām matam. - (vștti on II. 20)
and also, read K.P. II
· ākānkṣā-yogyatā-sannidhivaśād vaksyamāņa-svarūpāņām samanvaye tātparyártho višeşavapuh a-padárthópi vākyárthaḥ samullasati iti abhinitánvayavādinām matam.
We will go to see in detail the nature of tātparya-vrtti and its acceptance or otherwise by different ālankārikas as below.
