Book Description
Introduction

The name of our author is given in the colophon to our Madras MS as Kuntala or Kuntalaka; but the references by Mahimabhatța and Vidyadhara, apparently to our author, as well as the colophon to our Jesalmere MS and citations by Arunacalanatha and Bhatta Gopala, give the name as Kuntaka, which appears to be the more correct form. Vidyadhara, purporting to refute the views of Kuntaka, remarks that the latter proposed to include dhvani in the scope of bhakti. This statement probably refers to the passages in our text, dealing with upacara-vakrata in which, as well as in some other varieties of vakrata, our author incorporates all ideas of dhvani³, the term bhakti being apparently used here, as elsewhere, as synonymous with upa- cara. Mahimabhatta, again, finds fault with Kunta- ka's appraisement of the verse samrambhah kari- kita-megha, which he himself cites and criticises as an instance of the fault of vidheyavimarsa, attacking Kuntaka with the pointed remark.
