v1.c53.12

Both the rhetorical works of Jagannātha have been obtained incomplete. The printed editions of the texts of the *Rasa-gaṅgādhara* go up to the treatment of *uttarālaṃkāra* and break off with an incomplete verse; and so do most MSS noticed in the various reports and catalogues. Nāgeśa or Nāgoji Bhaṭṭa's commentary also ends with the same section. In conformity to a pun in the word *gaṅgādhara* in the title, the work was apparently planned to consist of five heads (*ānana*) or chapters, of which we have got only one complete and another incomplete chapter¹. The *Citramīmāṃsā-khaṇḍana*, directed against Appayya's work of the same name, also goes as far as the *apahnuti*-section and does not deal with *utprekṣā* and *atiśaya* which are found in some MSS of the *Citramīmāṃsā*.
