Notes. 83 the term he is able to show the propriety of the name
啶呧い啶苦ざ啶啶曕啶むた [补迟颈艣补测辞办迟颈 ] by giving, by the way, its 啶ㄠた啶班啶掂啶� [nirvacana ] which no other
author before him had thought of doing.

We have thus seen that the figure
through various stages of development. First the crude defi-
nition of Bhamaha, then the careful delineation of the four
divisions 啶啶︵啶洁え啶ㄠ啶い啷嵿さ啶, 啶呧き啷囙う啷� 啶ㄠぞ啶ㄠぞ啶む啶掂ぎ啷�, 啶膏啶え啷嵿ぇ啷囙そ啶啶じ啶傕が啶ㄠ啶о [bhede'nanyatvam, abhede n膩n膩tvam, 蝉补峁僢补苍诲丑别'辫测补蝉补峁僢补苍诲丑补岣� ] and 啶曕ぞ啶班啶啶距ぐ啶｀く啷嬥
[办腻谤测补办腻谤补峁嘺测辞岣�
] a of Udbhata; to these four Mamma峁璦 adds the
all important division. After Mamma峁璦 the idea
of is made still more comprehensive and predomi-
nant so that fan itself came to be defined in terms of
啶呧ぇ啷嵿く啶掂じ啶距え. [补诲丑测补惫补蝉腻苍补. ] Lastly the word 啶呧い啶苦ざ啶� [补迟颈艣补测补 ] is substituted for 啶呧ぇ啷嵿く啶掂じ啶距え
[补诲丑测补惫补蝉腻苍补
] and thus an explanation is given of the name 啶呧い啶苦ざ啶啶曕啶むた.
[补迟颈艣补测辞办迟颈.
] The foregoing analysis is restricted to the line of
authors who are Kashmirians or who generally follow
the Kashmirian trend of thought. But even amongst
such authors there will be found some who do not fall in
line with the development we have traced above. Thus
Hemachandra, author of
who came after
Mammata, defines 啶呧い啶苦ざ啶啶曕啶むた [补迟颈艣补测辞办迟颈 ] thus - 啶掂た啶多啶粪さ啶苦さ啶曕啶粪く啶� 啶啶︵ぞ啶啶︵く啷嬥啶距く啷嬥啶掂啶�-

tions the general varieties such as 啶啶︵啶洁お啷嵿く啶啶︵, 啶呧き啷囙う啷囙そ啶た 啶啶︵,
啶膏啶え啷嵿ぇ啷囙そ啶啶じ啶傕が啶ㄠ啶о [bhede'pyabheda岣�, abhede'pi bheda岣�,

be said in his case, as it can be said in the case of Udbha峁璦,
that he was not aware of for that he did not
accept it as a type of 啶呧い啶苦ざ啶啶曕啶むた. [补迟颈艣补测辞办迟颈. ] For, he includes 啶ㄠた啶椸啶班啶ぞ啶о啶さ啶膏ぞ啶�
[苍颈驳墨谤测腻诲丑测补惫补蝉腻苍补
] unders: and gives its examples under that variety.
His omission thus seems to be intentional.
