शृङ्गारार्णवचन्द्रिका The ninth chapter 26, which is the longest of all deals with Arthālankāras.
Lastly, the tenth chapter 27 treats of Doșas in a poetic composition and also of circumstances when they cease to be so.
7. SOURCES OF THE SC A striking feature of this work is that all the examples given as illustrations of the different points, are composed by Vijayavarņi himself and go to glorify King Kāmirāja. In this respect it resembles Vidyadhara's Ekāvali (1285–1325 A.D.) Vidyānātha's PRY (13001325 A.D.).
As the work is composed in the decadent period of Sanskrit literature and as it deals with a scientific subject, poetics, on which authoritative treatises of masterminds were already in existence, it would not be fair on one's part to expect any originality or contribution to pot tics from Vijayavarṇī. Occasionally, he clearly states that his descriptions are in accordance with earlier authorities 28. A perusal of his work reveals 26. Chapter IX (vv 1-310) : Alaukāraniscaya 27. Chapter X (vv 1-197) : Dosaguna-niscaya 28. 3a: 317 FITUTETİSFATHER THE TRUTH
