SAHRDAYALOKA Sā. in the first chapter or 'adhikāra' states that he studied all relevant sources on dramaturgy and has composed his work. He observes : (pp. 2, G.O.S., Edn., '68; Line 15) -
"tayaiva nātyavedasya niyuktódhyāpane tadā, prītas sópi sadāśivasya śivayor gauryā matam vāsuker vāg-devyā api nāradasya ca muneh kumbhódbhava-vyāsayoḥ śisyāņām bharatasya yāni ca matāny adhyāpya tāny añjanā. sūnor apy atha nātyavedam akhilam samyak tam adyāpayat.” śāradātanayo devyāḥ tān adhītya ca sannibhau, ādāya sāram etebhyo hitártham nātyavedinām. bhāva-prakāśanam nāma prabandham akarot tadā etasmin prathamam bhāvas
tasya bhedās tatah param... Śā. treated bhāva first, along with its subdivisions, and things connected with bhāva. B.P. (pp. 3, ibid, reads) :
tad avāntara-bhedāśca, tat tat kāryesu kausalam, tat-sādhyo'rthas tathā teşām upakāryópakāritā. rasópādānatā teşām cara-sthira-vibhāgataḥ tad darśanāni, tad drstih drsți-dharmāḥ prthagvidhāḥ. parasparasya sāmarthyam
