tadvyaktihetū śabdārthāv
ojo'dhisthāya tişthate.” (Dhv. II. 9) But the fourth line is read differently in available edn.'s of the Dhv. It reads as
"āśrityaujo vyavasthitam." Then we have Dhv. II. 10 read slightly differently in Bhoja as -
"samarthakatvam vākyasya yat tu sarva-rasan prati, sa prasādo guņo jñeyah
sarva-sādhāraṇa-kriyah.” (Dhv. II. 10) The first line read in Dhv. editions reads as : “samarpakatvam kāvyasya.” Perhaps Bhoja had some mss. not available to us.
It is here that Dr. Raghavan observes that on the subject of rasa and alamkāra Bhoja utilises three verses from udyota, II, two of them being parikara ślokas and one kärikā. We have quoted the same earlier.
Dr. Raghavan explains that these two sets of citations from Ā. occur also in the same places in the Śr. Pra. Ch. XI, Vol. II. He observes : (pp. 453, Edn. Josyer, ibid) : “...atrā’pi brūmaḥ avayavávayavi-nyāyena cáprthak-prayatna-nirvartyānām gunarasānām vākye sanniveśaḥ, tatra samkara-vyavahāro na pravartate, tad yathā - “madhuram rasavad...” śrngāra eva madhuraḥ.." etc.
Here also we have the reading “ojo'dhisthāya tișthati.” But in place of 'samarthakatvam', we read 'samarpakatvam', but for ‘kāvyasya', Bhoja has 'vākyasya'.
Again on pp. 457 (Edn. Josyer, ibid), while treating rasálamkāra-sankaraḥ, we get the three quotations as read in the S.K. Ā., as quoted above. In t e Śr. Pra. We also get one more quotation from Ā. such as, “śộngārī cet kaviḥ kāvye...” etc. In the S.K. Ā. (pp. 555, ibid) Bhoja places this quotation at the beginning of Ch. V. as kārikā no. 3, with a slight change in the reading of the second half which reads as : "sa eva ced a-śộngārī, nīrasam sarvam eva tat.”
But Bhoja cites further from Ā. when he treats 'dhvani'. Dr. Raghavan, after taking stock of what Dr. S.K. De writes in his Sanskrit Poetics, observes (pp. 153, ibid) : “These remarks (= Dr. De's observations as quoted by Dr. Raghavan) are of course based upon what one can know from Bhoja's S.K. Ā. One cannot write like this after seeing Śr. Pra. Even in the S.K. A. the concept of Dhvani is not entirely
