Preface

It gives me immense pleasure to present before the scholars the collection of my research papers on Sanskrit Poetics and Nyaya Philosophy. It is the general belief that these two fields are different and not connected with each other. But this is not true. While working for my Ph.D. on "Influence of Nyaya Philosophy on Sanskrit Poetics", I came across many poetic concepts which are developed on the basis of Nyaya theories. In this process of understanding the Nyaya theories I wrote some research papers on Nyaya Philosophy and Sanskrit Poetics which are not part of my thesis. All these papers were published in various reputed research Journals from time to time. The present book is a collection of those papers. They are critical and analytical in approach. Many unnoticed issues of Sanskrit poetics are dealt with in the papers like concept of Pratibha, concept of Abhasa, concept of Tarka and its connection to Sanskrit Poetics. Influence of Buddhist Logic on Sanskrit Poetics is a crux of my entire study of Sanskrit Poetics. Some of the papers on Nyaya philosophy also deal with rarely studied texts like Manameyodaya and author like Anandapurnamunindra. All these papers are the result of my painstaking efforts in understanding and critically analysing the texts of Sanskrit poetics and Nyaya and putting them in well-arranged and effective arguments for the scholars and students. I hope that this book will be well received by the scholars and students of Sanskrit and allied disciplines.

This book speaks about my entire journey in the academic field. One cannot develop one's own personality and scholarship without blessings and support of many people. At this moment I remember with respect my Guru Late Prof. Rajendra Nanavati who imbibed in me the research acumen and developed my critical thinking, my husband Prof. Rabindra Kumar Panda, an eminent scholar of Nyaya and Vedant and prolific creative writer for his constant encouragement and help and many other scholars like P. V. Kane, V. Raghavan, V. M. Kulkarni, K. Krishnamoorthy, C. Rajendran, Radhavallabh Tripathi and many more whose scholarly writings have helped my research process. I express my sincere thanks to the editors of various research journals for their encouragement when it was needed to me as a budding scholar. I also put on record the contribution of the veteran editors of texts like Alankararaghava, Alankara kaustubha, Alankaramahodadhi, Camatkaracandrika, Rasarnavasudhakara etc who produced important critical editions of poetic texts. The elaborate and exhaustive introductions to these texts have helped me immensely in understanding the various concepts of poetics and engaged me in critical research. I am thankful to my children Urvee and Pratyush for allowing me to spend time on which they had right.

I am thankful to Shri Deepak Jain, the proprietor of New Bharatiya Book Corporation, Delhi for printing this book in time.
