v2.c82.s1.28

¹⁴ If Udbhaṭa iv 5 is a kārikā-verse (and not wrongly incorporated into the text from Pratihārendurāja's commentary), then Udbhaṭa was the first writer to admit śānta into Bharata's category of eight rasas. The preyas of Rudraṭa is probably suggested by the poetic figure preyas admitted by Bhāmaha, Daṇḍin and Udbhaṭa. Rudraṭa appears to allude (as Nami-sādhu rightly comments) to Bharata by the term ācārya in xii 4.
