FIXING UP OF SOME VARIANTS FROM KLASS
(Ref. Hemacandia's Kavyānusasana)
T
S. Nanili
This happens to be the thud article of its type 1 The singular purpose of our effout is to point out that tising up the variants available in the woikso1 Kalidāsa, editors so far, wcluding the most reputed ones such as prof S. K Belvelkar, have sadly overlooled perhaps the most important iesearch tool le. Works 0! Almk13 with any number of learned comentators quite often discussing this vi that reading calling one a 'sadhupatha' and the other an 'apapātha'. Noi only is Kalidasa quoted piofusely, but Bhavabhūtı. Bhattanarayana, 187. khadatta and many others are looked in to furnish illustrations while en aning this or that point in alamkāra works So, as in case of Kalidasa. we can attempt a thorough escarch in this direction 107 the case of other literary artists also.
In this paper, we will consider only five verses from the Abhijñāna Sakuntala of Kalidāsa, and consult only Hemacandra's Kavyānušāsana for the present. In fact all alamkāra works, biginnig from Vămana's Kāryal aiņkāra-sútra-vptti and the Dhivanyaloka to Mammața, Bhoja, and urto Visvanatha onwards, with any number of commentaries, both published or unpublished, could be utilised for the purpose. For the present we have chosen only Hemacandia to serve as an illustration. Ilenacandra could be an ideal and most obvious choice because are aware of his utility, as proved by prof. Gnoli in editing portion of the Abhinavabhāati on the famous rasasütra iu Bhrata's Natyasastia, and by Piof Di. V M. Kulkarni in ieconstructing the lost portion of the Abhuava-bhārate on the bhāvādlıvaya or the seventh chapter of the Natyasastia of Bhaiata and also by us in editing the Abhinava-bharatı on the sixth chapter of the Natyaśāstia with a neat introduction, translation and notes in Gujarati, published by tlic Gujarat University.
