SAHRDAYĀLOKA newer and newer vision. Like hundred thousand daffodils, or like hundredthousand varieties of dhvani, the sandhyanga-s also can be as many, yes, accidental of course, but a device or source of beauty to be sure.
(vii) The Sandhyanga-s by and large also should be termed alamkāra-s or beautifying agents as is indicated by the great Dandin - (Kavyādarśa, II. 367, pp. 312, Edn. B.O.R.I.) When he observes :
“yac ca sandhyanga-vștiyangalaksaņā”dy agamántare, vyāvarņitam idam ca iştam .
alankāratayāiva naḥ." Thus all sandhis, and all sandhyangas, yrttis and vrtiyanga-s, laksanas and other concepts are alankāras or beautifving devices for us. -
The "prabhā" (pp. 312) observes : "yacceti". sandhayah mukha-pratimukhe - garbhaḥ sā'vamarśotha samhștiḥ iti pañca. tesam angāni-upaksepah, parikarah, parinyāso, vilobhanam, iryādīni catuhsasthi-samkhyakāni. vịttayaḥ -
"śrngāre kaiśikī vīre sātvaty ārabhati punaḥ, rase raudre ca bībhatse
vsttiḥ sarvatra bhārati.” iti. niyata-sthānāś cataśrah, tāsām angāni-narma-tat-sphūrjatas sphoța-tadgarbhaiś catur angikā, ity ādīni sodaśa. laksaņāni bhūsaņā'ksara-samghātā"dīni sat trimsat. ādinā nāryālamkārā"dīnām grahaņam, etat sarvam āgamántare bharatamuni-pranīta-nātyaśāstre vyāvarņitam, vistāreņa kathitam. tad idam nah alamkāratayaiv estam. tatra keşāmcit svabhāvā”khyānā”dau antarbhāvaḥ, kesām cit bhāvike iti yathāyatham visayā'nurodhena jñatavyam.”
(viii) These Sandhyanga-s therefore are wider in scope so as to include even vibhāvā"di-s, and other things also as also observed by the Nārya-darpana which presents a more balanced, mature and more logical approach to concepts of dramaturgy as compared to the DR., not to talk of the B.P., NLRK. or RS. The ND. has very interesting observations such as -
"sarva-sandhīnām ca angāni itivṛtta-a-vicchedártham upādīyante. itivṛttasya avicchedaś ca rasa-pustyarthah. vicchede histhāyyā"destrutitarvāt kutastyo rasā”svādah ? tato rasa-vidhānaikatānacetasaḥ kaveḥ prayatnántara-anapekşam
