ject He greatly revels in criticising the merits and demerits in the works of other writers For he has said - “सुग्धः किं किमसभ्य एष भजते मात्सर्यमौनं नु कि पृष्टो न प्रतिवक्ति यः किल जनस्तत्रेति सम्भाव्यते । छात्राभ्यर्थनया ततोऽद्य सहसैवोत्सृज्य मार्ग सता पौरोभाग्यमभाग्यभाजनजनासेव्यं मथाङ्गीकृतम्" ।। (p 37) The writings of eminent writers have been critically examined with reference to the five defects of composition विधेयाविमर्श, प्रक्र- मभेद, क्रमभेद, पौनरुक्त्य and वाच्यावचन explained by himself and the utterances of Dhvanikara have been likewise vigorously attacked. Like Anandavardhanacharya (वनिकार) Kuntaka the author of Vakroktijivita has also been very vehemently attacked by the author Here is a verse of our author where he in triumph holds up Kuntaka to ridicule “काव्यकाञ्चनकषाश्ममानिना कुन्तकेन निजकाव्यलक्ष्मणि । यस्य सर्वनिरवद्यतोदिता श्लोक एष स निदर्शितो मया" ।। (p 58 ) Again "यत् पुनः शब्दार्थौ सहितौ तेन ध्वनिवदेषापि वक्रोक्तिरनुमा न क्रिम् ।। (p 28)
