Mammat˙&dotbelow;a's Kavyaprakasa is an eleventh-century Sanskrit work on poetics that synthesizes two earlier schools of poetics: the Alan˙kara School (the School of Poetic Ornamentation) and the Dhvani School (the School of Suggestion). The first six chapters establish the method of synthesis and explain the position of the Dhvani School. Jyatsna Mohan's edition of the Kavyaprakasa (Nag Publishers, 1995) is transliterated, edited, and translated from Sanskrit into English. |
