108 Rudrata gives five figures of Sabda. He includes Citral in his list of Sabdalamkaras, the other being, Vakrokti, Anuprasa, Yamaka and Slesa. (pertaining to Sabda). Udbhata mentions four Sabdalamkaras 3 viz Punaruktavadabhasa, Chekanu prasa, Viltyanuprasa and Latanuprasa. He does not mention ramaka, and Citra. Bhoja treats of twenty-four Sabdalamkaras in his Sarsvati.kanthabharana.* Hemacandra refuses to accept the long list given by Bhoja, and gives seven figures of sound, viz. Anuprasa, Lalanu prasa, Yamaka, Citra, Slesa, Vakrokti, ant Punaruktabhasa. 6 These are the same as those given by Mammata." Kalpalata deals with several Sabdalamkaras. Possibly it gave the several figures given by Bhoja in his Sarasvati-kanthabharana, (p. 101, 1. 1) In the beginning of this chapter two verses from 1. Rudrata is perhaps the first writer, who includes Citra in his list of Sabdalamkaras, though not the first to treat of it. Bhamaha mentions but rejects it. Dandi treats of it at some length but does not bracket it with figures of sound (vide K. D. III. 186). Namisadhu's remarks are to the same effect : ' itati fai 70210#T# ayxzai (नमि. on R. K. L. II. 3.) Rudrata differentiates between शब्दालंकारs and अर्थालंकार'. 2. RK, L, II, 13. 3. Udbhata is the first to mention Punaruktavad-abhasa. None of the earlier writers refers to it. He does not actually distinguish between $7637857 and 1 , yet deals with the former before, and the latter afterwards. Induraja points out this distinction in his Vstti. (vide U.K.L,S.L.V. (P. 1) ). 4. S. K. II. 3& 4. For a detailed discussion vide Bhojas Sr. Pra. Vol. I. 5. vide H. K. S, V. (P. 405, II. 22-26). 6. This is the same as the Punaruktavadabhasa of Udbhata and Mammata. 7. Mammata treats of two types of Vakrokti, * 5T and 97%, while CHE accepts the first type alone and rejects the second, 8. Two verses are quoted as is clear from the remarks: "8- aastanea &co' (fa6-P, 101, 1. 4). The verscs are > & ferrarafesztat fastAfAf पाचामेव प्रसादेन लोकयात्रा प्रवर्तते // इन्दमन्धंतमः कृत्स्नं जायते भुवनत्रयम् / ufe, TagI&T witfatidarta ata 11 K.D. 1. 3&4. These are also quoted by Bhoja in the srngara Prakasa (loc. cit, P. 369-Josyer's Ed.). alfa, gFhAT, TUI, PT etc are the figures of words accepted, defined, dissussed, elarified and illustrated by Bhoja in his S. K. (vide S. K. II. 3, 6, etc etc.) Is is possible that some of these twentyfour Sabdalaskaras of Bhoja were not accepted by Kalpalata, just as they were not by Mammata and Hemacandra. It seems that Kalpalata does not here follow any one particular earlier writer. It did accept the detailed treatment of Citra from Bhoja, yet it quotes and borrows from Hemacandra, Mammata and Bhamaha. Even from Viveka it seems clear that Kalpalata did not treat the Sabdalamkaras, Jati, Gumphana, Sayya etc in detail. We, therefore, do not deal with them here, as we follow the sub-commentary Viveka, and do not propose to dilate on topics which are not apparently detailed here. We, however, refer the reader to Dr. Raghavan's " Bhoja's Srngara Prakasa Vol. I. Part II - P. 363 ff., for a detailed and eritical treatment of these Sabdalaikaras.
