SAHṚDAYALOKA
such as alasya, avahitthā etc., some are natyálamkāras such as āśamsā etc. The NLRK. has counted these under Śilpaka. (IX, 47-48) (pp. 390, ibid) Ullopyaka is defined as:
ullopyakam syad ekánkam
avamarśa-vinā-kṛtam,
nispravṛtti-vidhānañca, silpakánga-vibhuṣitam.
hāsya-śṛngāra-kāruṇya
Jain Education International
yuktam ujjvala-veṣavat, bahupustam ca caturójjvalanāyaka-nāyikam.
yathā devimahādevam yatha códātta-kuñjaram. 47 yasminn ullopyakam nāma tryangyam gītam pravartate. tallakṣaṇam ca gandharvanirnaye spastam īritam. 48
Ullopyaka has one act and is without avamarśa juncture. In it, cessation from activity is recommended. The parts or angas of silpaka are seen in this art-form also. It has hāsya, śṛngāra and karuna rasas. The characters have blazing attire and a number of 'pusta' i.e. masques (or working in clay, modelling anything made of clay or wood etc.) or masks, are used. The heroes and heroines are intelligent and brilliant. The illustrations are "devi-mahādeva", or "udātta-kuñjara", etc. In it a song called 'ullopyaka' with three parts, is placed. This gīta or song is explained clearly in "gandharvanirṇaya".
Sallāpaka (IX. 7; pp. 376, ibid) is defined in B.P. as -
sallāpakasyétivṛttam yat
khyātam cótpādyam eva ca. miśram vā; tatra śṛngārahāsyau naivārhataḥ kvacit.
śabalo vīra-raudrābhyām,
angāny anye rasāḥ smṛtāḥ,
