"Dasarūpaka-Vicāra"
1749 In my contribution on Laksana referred to previously, I have dealt with the relation between the sandhyanga-s and the laksana-s, of how certain writers hold the laksaņas to be similar to sandhyanga-s and how, as a matter of fact, some of the laksana-s are identical with some sandhyanga-s, even as there are laksana-s which are identical with bhāva-s and alamkāra-s."
With this we end our long quotation from Dr. Raghavan. As noted above, as compared to Dr. Kulkarni's thorough and painstaking, critical observations, Dr. Raghavan's presentation to us, seems lesser. He has not even taken care to look into Bhoja's treatment of individual laksanas with illustrations from various plays. We will however now attempt to give a table of sandhyanga-s along with the mention of which author recognises which, and in what name, along with definitions cited from all authorities and also critical comparative remarks, if any Dr. Kulkarni has done a marvellous job and we will just make a modest attempt to supplement the same in our table :
It may be noted that we will take the NS. (G.O.S. Edn.) for the enumeration and order of Sandhyanga-s as the base and look into the DR., Śr. Pra., N.D., B.P., PR., NLRK, RS. and the S.D. - on the chronological order relying on Dr. De's “Sanskrit Poetics”.
A Comparative and Critical table of the Sandhyanga-s i Mukha-Sandi :
(1) Upakṣepaḥ : This is recognised by NS., DR., Śr. Pra., ND., B.P., PR.; NLRK; RS., S.D.;
N.S. defines it as : “kāvyárthasya samutpattiḥ upaksepa iti smộtaḥ.” (p. 38, Ch. XIX. G.O.S. Ed. śloka - 69b.) DR - bījanyāsa upaksepaḥ - (I. 27, a; p. 20 Adyar Edn.)
Śr. Pra. “kāvyárthasya samutpattir upaksepa iti smstaḥ.” (Śr. Pra. XII. pp. 505, Josyer Edn.)
This is from the NS. -
Normally Bhoja quotes exactly from the NS., however, on pp. 504, in enumeration the reading is - "āksepaś ca parīkarma... etc.”
ND. “bījasyo’ptir upaksepah” - (I. 43, pp. 108, Edn. Delhi Uni. Delhi, Viśveśvar Pandit)
BP. - "bījanyāsa Upaksepah” - (pp. 208, line 12, G.O.S. Edn.)
