IO SAN 1008b

Sahṛdayāloka

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit

Title: Sahṛdayāloka

Also called Kāvyāloka, or Dhvanyāloka.

A treatise, in 4 chapters (uddyota), on the figure of speech, called dhvani ('implied meaning'), with a brief exposition (vṛtti), by Ānandavardhana the son of Jonopādhyāya (Nonopādhyāya, fol. 139a); and a fuller commentary, entitled Sahṛdayālokalocana (or Kāvyālaṃkāralocana), on the first 3 chapters, by Abhinavaguptācārya.

Abhinavagupta is quoted by Mammaṭa; and Maheścandra Nyāyaratna, in the preface to the Kāvyaprakāśa, calls his work simply Ālocanagrantha; whilst Burnell, in the Index to the Tanjore Mss., p. 55, gives its title as Kāvyālokālocana.

The Ms. is far from correct, and written in bad style is apparently coppied from a good original.

Cf. Dr. G. Buhler's Report on Sanskrit Mss. in Kashmir, etc. (1877), pp. 65; cxxxi.
