v2.c83.32

¹⁶ Trivedi, in his notes to *Ekāvalī* p. 370, attributes this opinion to Lollaṭa, which we followed in our footnote 2, p. 39, Vol. I. Sovani doubts if this view is ascribed to Lollaṭa by any standard Sanskrit writer. This view is no doubt criticised by Mammaṭa (p. 225), Mahimabhatta (p. 27), Vidyādhara (p. 43) and others, but nowhere Lollaṭa is mentioned by name. Jhalakīkara and Durgāprasāda, as Sovani points out, wrongly calls the adherents of this view *bhaṭṭamatopajīvinaḥ*, but possibly they take their cue from Govinda's mistaken remark to the same effect in his *Kāvya-pradīpa*, ed. N.S.P. 1912, p.149.
