"Dasarūpaka-Vicăra"
1683 The NLRK (p. 46 ibid) also observes that in case of the subsidiary theme (prāsangika) which is employed only to serve the cause of the principal theme (i.e. adhikärika-vastu), if there is extention required in this theme, and if all the five sandhi-s find place in it (= prāsangika-vastu), then this rule of hīna-sandhi need not be forced upon it, - as observed in the NS. XXI-18; (Kārikā - 59, NLRK, pp. 47)
“prāsangike parārthatvān na tv eșa niyamo bhavet, yad vșttam tu bhavet kiñcit
tad yojyam a-virodhataḥ.” The NLRK. in vștti also quotes the definition of sandhi as given by Mātņgupta -
(pp. 47, ibid) - “vịttam yad tad a-virodhataḥ sandhīnām prayoktavyam. sandhiḥ parasparam kathāmśānām samghatanam. yathóktam-sandhīyante arthāh parasparam ebhir iti sandhayah yathā mukham, prati-mukham, garbhah, vimarśah, nirvahaņañ ceti. esām laksanam mātrgupta etādrśam varņayati - (NLRK. Kā. 60; pp. 47 ibid) -
"prārthanā visayautsukyam ārambho hetu-cintanam, bījam sādhyo'pagamanam
mukha-sandhāv iti trayam. 60 To have aspiration for the goal is ‘autsukya'; to think about ways and means for the attainment of the goal is "ārambha” and to turn towards the goal i.e. to obtain it partially is termed "bīja". These three are part of mukha-sandhi. (This is the view of Mātrgupta). (He is believed to have lived in the 5th cen. A.D. and was the author of an independent work on dramaturgy and is also credited by Sundaramisra, the author of Natyapradīpa, to have written a commentary on Bharata's NS., also).
NLRK. 61 (pp. 47, ibid) - quotes the definition of prati-mukha sandhi from Mātrgupta, who observes -
“lābhāḥ sādhana-sampattiḥ prasaraḥ prasștā kriyā, bīja-sādhana-sambandhaḥ iti pratimukhe trayam."
