Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Bhattanayaka in Purana glossary

ṭṭⲹ첹 (भट्टनायक).—A literary critic who flourished in the 10th century A.D. in India. He composed a critical study on the science of dance (Nāṭya) named Hṛdayadarpaṇa based on the Nāṭya śāstra of Bharata. But, the book has not been found out, yet. Contesting the dhvanivāda (the rhetorical theory that in poetry suggested or implied meaning is superior to the explicit meanning) of Ānandavardhanācārya, he established the rasavāda (that sentiment is supreme in poetry). Abhinavagupta also has supported the rasavāda. Hence, it may be inferred that ṭṭⲹ첹 lived in the period after Ānandavardhana and anterior to Abhinavagupta. ṭṭⲹ첹’s theory is that Abhidhā, Bhāvakatva� and Bhojakatva� should be the three excellences of good poetry.
