VARIANTS FROM VENISAMHÄRA AND...
and अपैति in the ft. note. The different cominentaries on the K. P. have अपैतु, while सुधा. edn. (p. 436) has उपैति for अपैतु. प्र. & उ. edn. (p. 343) and संकेत (मा.) edn. (p. 140) have अपैतु with अपैति in the ft. note, while संकेत (सो.) edn. p. II (p. 162) has अपैतु with उपैतु in the ft. note, (p. I. p. 14). नृपकानना. All editions of the Veni. have नृपकानना. but N. S. edn. (p. 87) has also noted the other reading रिपुकानना. in the ft. note. The different commentaries on the K. P. differ in giving this variant. Some of theni have नृपकानना., while the others have रिपुकानना.
सा. चू. & सं. प्र. edn. p. II (edn. p. II (p. 109), विवेक edn. p. II (p. 235-236) and विस्ता. edn. p. II (p. 88) have नृपकानना.
While, Jha. edn. (p. 402) has रिपुकानना. The other reading is noted in the commentary - नृपकानन इत्यपि पाठः । प्र. & उ. edn. (p. 343), सुधा. edn. (p. 436), R. P. edn. (p. 419), प्रयाग edn. (p. 280), सा. दी. edn. p. II (p. 103), संकेत (मा.) edn. (p. 140) and संकेत (सो.) edn. p. II (p. 162) have also रिपुकानना. Thus, fixing up of a given variant poses many problems. Works on Alankāra could serve as useful research tools for the purpose. Our effort will be rewarded if scholars feel this approach to be useful and unavoidable. It may be noted that other works on Alankāra, such as those of Hemacandra and Vis'vanātha and others could also be utilized while preparing a critical text of a given work.
