These angas or features of silpaka are enumerated by śā. also with some difference in name. .
Ullāpyaka in NLRK is - gitamayam tryankam. asya laksanam - udāra-nāyakam, ujjvala-veșā”tmakam, bahupusta-pradhānam, divya-caritam, śilpakánga-vibhūșitam, hāsya-kārunya-śộngāra-püritam.
Sāgaranandin expects three acts in ullāpyaka, while his mentor Śā. mentions only one act as seen above. NLRK. wants it to be gitamaya i.e. full of music and song. The rest follows Sā. Viśvanātha has ‘ullāpyam' and he follows Sā. and expects only one act. He also quotes the opinion of some (i.e. NLRK) that 'ullāpya' has three acts.
With this we end our discussion on the classification of poetry from an external or formal point of view. Of course, the ten major types of drama, universally recognised as 'preksya' type of kavya will be discussed later in a separate chapter, suggesting all minute details concerning the plot or theme, structure, character etc. of the drama and the rest.
