SAHĶDAYĀLOKA These 21 sandhyantara-s or special junctures occur between the various junctures.
Bhoja (pp. 498, Śr. Pra. Vol. II, Edn. Josyer) reads as : atha sandhyantarāny ekavimšatih tad-yathā-sāma, bhedah dandah, pradanam, vadhah, pratyutpannamatitvam, gotra-skhalitam, sāhasam, bhayam, hrih, māyā, krodha, ojah, samvaranam, bhrāntih, hetvavadhāranam, dūtah, lekhah, svapnah, citram, madah iti.
All these are illustrated fully (pp. 499-503, ibid). Regarding 'krodha' (pp. 501, ibid) - Bhoja observes - "yo'sau purusārtha-siddhi-hetuh krodha-sthayibhāvah, soyam na bhavati ity udāhrtam, puruşārtha-siddhi-hetus tu sthāyibhāvo na sandhyantaram.”
Dr. Raghavan here observes (pp. 593, ibid) - "It is correct to say that the Krodha here meant as a sandhyantara is a fleeting vyabhicārin; yet it is all the same a bhāva, and Bhoja's argument can not be pressed further. That apart, we must be indebted, in untold measure, to Bhoja for such things as the sandhyantara-s, not because these by themselves are of great value, but because these are responsible for immensely valuable quotations from such rare and now lost dramatic masterpieces as the Devicandragupta, and the Abhisārikā-vañcitaka of Viśākhadeva and the Pārtha-vijaya of Trilocana.
The enumeration and illustration of these 21 sandhyantaras run from p. 480 to p. 487 (number is different in Josyer Edn. as noted above). The names of these sandhyantara-s in the list of the Kaśī Edn. are, some of them, wrong. After Sahasa in XXI. 50 the vadha must be bhaya; in the same verse, Hirvāvadhāranam must be Hetvāvadhāranam. The list in K.M. Edn., foot-note is purer, except in the case of the last sandhyantara which is given as mada correctly in the Kāśī Edn., but wrongly as 'Manda' in the K.M. text.”
Dr. Raghavan has done some proof-reading here. But as we see it, the list in Dr. Unni's edn. is very pure.
The RS. has inherited this concept from not only Bhoia and Dhananjaya but also from Bharata. A recension containing this topic could have been available to Singa Bhūpāla.
The RS. further notes that the sandhyanga-s go with the sandhi-s, but these 21 sandhyantaras are presented without consideration of any sandhi. The RS. criticises the stand of the DR. in merging these under sandhi-s, because these are not a regular feature. The RS. (pp. 247, Kā. III. 92-96, read as -
