III. The Prosanna-kdnda (X, XI, XII, XIII). No gram marian includes rhetorics in his treatment of grammar. Bhatti, according to his commentators, has chosen to do so and hence this Kdnda interrupts the regular illustrative treatment of grammar. Canto X illustrates the then known Alankaras, Canto XI, the quality of Madhurya, Canto XII he Bhsvikatva Guna of a composition and Canto XIII the Bha§asama diction. It is hard to say whether the kfinda is styled as Prasanna because of Bhatti’s fondness for the Prasada-gupa (Lucidity and clarity of style). IV. The Tihanta-kdnda : (XIV-XXII). This illustrates the verba! forms of nine Lakdras (tenses and moods). A parti cular tense or mood is chosen so as to suit the narrative portion and not in accordance with the original order. Often Bhatti has chosen more than one example of a tense or a mood and sometimes has woven a garland of similar forms in a single verse. This is the most lucid, fluent, clear and simple portion in the Bhatflkavya. The order of illustrations is given below. Only nine Lakaras out of the regular ten are illustrated, one in each canto. The tenth Lef-Iakara is omitted, being Vedic. Lif—XIV (437 illustrations) ; Luri—XV (416) ; Lrt—XVI (111) ; Lah—XVII (345) ; Let—XVIII (126) ; Lin—XIX (73) ; Lot—X X (84); Lrh—XXI (35) ; T u t-X X II (31). Omissions It is next to impossible to enlist all the sutras that are omitted by Bhatti, but some broad guidelines are mentioned below.
