SAHĶDAYĀLOKA “na cā’rthā'nantyam vyangyárthā’pekṣayā eva, yāvad vācyárthápekṣayā api iti pratipadayitum ucyate -
"avastha-deśa-kālā"diviśeşair api jāyate, ānantyam eva vācyasya
śuddhasyā’pi svabhāvataḥ.” (Dhv. I. 7) ..... darśitam eva caitad visama-banalīlāyām -
na ca teşām ghatate’vadhiḥ, na ca te drsyante katham api punar uktāḥ ye vibhramāḥ priyāņām
arthā vā sukavi-vānīnām." "This infinitude of poetic themes is brought about not only by way of suggested content but also by way of expressed content. This is set forth in the following:
Infinitude is achieved by the expressed content also even when it remains in its pure and natural state by reason of the considerations of circumstance, place, time, etc. (Dhv. IV. 7) (pp. 283, ibid, Trans. K.Kris.) ... This has indeed been strikingly declared in my work, vişama-bana-līlā :
There is no limit to them And they will never look like repetitions; The graces of sweet-hearts And the meanings of the words of good poets."
(Trans. K.Kris., pp. 285, ibid) But Ā. further adds : (Dhv. IV. 7, pp. 292, ibid)
"avasthā”di-vibhinnānām vācyānām vinibandhanam, yat pradarśitam prāk, — bhūmnaiva drśyate laksye, na tacchakyam apohitumtat tu bhāti rasā”śrayam.” (Dhv. IV. 8)
