¹⁴ Nobel (*Beitraege zur aelteren Geschichte des Alaṃkāraśāstra* p. 10, footnote 4) doubts if *samprakīrtitam*, which is unintelligible in the context, is the correct reading in xvi 55. Abhinava’s commentary on this verse runs thus: *nānā ye śabdāntara-vākya-padātmanas teṣām adhikaraṇārthānām āśraye arth’aorthatā (?) yeṣām tathābhūtānāṃ sākāṅkṣāṇāṃ teṣām ākāṅkṣā-pūrakam kriyā-guṇa-jātyādi tad dīpakam*. In the light of this remark, may not the emendation *sampradīpakam* be likely?
