This classification is unsatisfactory for the following reasons: (1) The idea that 'upādāna' and 'lakṣaṇa' are intermediate and not final divisions of suddha finds no support in the text of the Kavyaprakāśa. It seems to have been introduced by Pradipa in order to get rid of the overlapping which is involved in what we regard as Mammata's classification. (we feel Pradīpa is right). (2) Though this classification removes overlapping from 'suddha saropa' and 'śuddha sadhyavasāna', still overlapping continues in gauṇa-sāropa and gauṇa-sādhyavasāna. So this classification also is not logically accurate. (3) Expressions like 'kuntāḥ kuntinaḥ praviśanti', and 'gangāyām tate ghoṣaḥ', which illustrate śuddha-upādāna-sāropa and suddha-lakṣaṇa-sāropa in this classification, are such as are never used in the language. (We add, the expression ‘kuntāḥ kuntinah praviśanti' sounds senseless to us). (4) If this classification be supposed to represent the one intended by Mammata, we shall have to believe that Mammata forgot to give an illustration for one variety viz. śuddha-upādāna-sāropa and gave two illustrations for another viz. śuddha-lakṣaṇa-sādhyavasāna, separating them by a long interval."
