SAHṚDAYĀLOKA
the essence of 'sādhāraṇīkarana' and 'rasanubhuti' has been so neatly and explicitely laid down by Abhinavagupta and Anandavardhana apart, no Bhatta Nayaka or any, not even Jagannatha can be said to be a match with Abhinavagupta. It has been fashionable among lesser souls, especially some writers in Gujarati who have never looked into, nor have the ability to look into what Abhinavagupta has written, to credit Bhatta Nayaka with "sādhāraṇīkaraṇa" which was not so fully understood even by Bhaṭṭa Nāyāka as compared to the "Greatest” Abhinavagupta.
The Dhv. Locana on II. 4, the portion on rasa-niṣpatti-vicara reads as: (pp. 106,-112; Dhv. with Locana, Edn. T. S. Nandi, Ahd.-'97-'98). :
"nanu'ktam bhaṭṭa-nayakena-" raso yadā para-gata-tayā pratīyate tarhi tāṭasthyam eva syāt. na ca svagatatvena rāmā"di-carita-mayāt kāvyād asau pratīyate. svātma-gatatvena ca pratītau svātmani rasasyótpattir evábhyupagatā syāt. sā cáyuktā; sītāyāḥ sāmājikam praty a-vibhāvatvāt. kāntātvam sädhāranam vāsanā-vikāsa-hetu-vibhāvatāyām prayojakam iti cet,-devatā-varṇanā"dau tad api katham? na ca sva-kantā-smaranam madhye samvedyate, aloka-sāmānyānām ca rāmā"dīnām ye samudra-setubandha"dayo vibhāvās te katham sadharanyam bhajeyuḥ. na ca utsāhā"dimān rāmaḥ smaryate, ananubhūtatvāt. śabdad api tatpratītau na rasópajanaḥ pratyakṣād iva nāyaka-mithunasya.
