¹ Sovani in a letter to me, dated March 2, 1924, points out that Ānandavardhana’s citation (p. 222) of the Agni-purāṇa 338, 10-11, which enabled me (Vol. I. p 103) to fix the lower terminus of the date of the alaṃkāra-portion of the work, is doubtful, in view of the fact that Abhinavagupta (on Bharata vi 38) actually ascribes one of these verses by name to Ānandavardhana. But it is not intelligible why the verse is given in the text of the Dhvanyāloka (p. 222) with tathā cēdamucyate, which phrase generally indicates a quotation (cf his comment on the word ucyate in Dhva° iv p. 236, ll. 4-5).
