His own commentary of the K膩rik膩s is the book called Dhvany膩loka. There are four parts for Dhvany膩loka and each part is called an Udyota.
There is a belief among a few that the K膩rik膩s were written by another scholar, Sah峁沝aya, and that 膧苍补苍诲补惫补谤诲丑补苍补 had written only a commentary on it. He was a member of the royal council of Avantivarm膩 who ruled Kashm墨r during the period 854-884 A.D. It is believed that he wrote Dhvany膩loka in 850 A.D. Many commentaries have been written of Dhvany膩loka of which the one written by Abhinavagupta is considered to be the best.

Dhvani was so important to 膧苍补苍诲补惫补谤诲丑补苍补 that his text, Dhvany膩loka, is named after it.鈥斈�苍补苍诲补惫补谤诲丑补苍补 was not an unreligious man. He is known to have composed an elaborate hymn to the Goddess, called Dev墨艣ataka [Dev墨艣atakam], or One Hundred Verses on the Goddess, which is still available, and a work called Tattv膩loka, or Lamp on Reality, which has been lost, but which Abhinavagupta tells us was about metaphysics and theology.

General definition (in Hinduism)
: Google Books: Croaking Frogs: A Guide to Sanskrit Metrics and Figures of Speech膧苍补苍诲补惫补谤诲丑补苍补 was a ninth-century thinker from Kashmir. His Dhvany膩loka (also known as the K膩vy膩loka) was a pivotal work in the history of Indian aesthetics and marks a dividing line between the old and the new poetics. 膧苍补苍诲补惫补谤诲丑补苍补 saw works as aesthetically-integrated wholes, shifting emphasis away from individual formal elements to the overall impression left on the reader or viewer.
膧苍补苍诲补惫补谤诲丑补苍补 accepted Bharata鈥檚 rasa theory, believing that the main goal of petry is to evoke a specific emotional mood or 鈥渇lavor鈥� (rasa). But the Dhvany膩loka went beyond this and introduced the new idea that rasa can only be communcated by the power of implied or suggested meaning (dhvani).
