c6.53.4

But, since that word has been frequently employed by many of those who have written on the subject of Sanskrit poetics and since even as early as Rājaśekhara’s Kāvyamīmāṃsā the views of Vāmanīyas (the followers of or school of Vāmana) and of Audbhaṭas are mentioned (vide pp. 14, 20 for वामनीयाः and pp. 22, 44 for औद्भटाः), the word ‘school’ may still be retained for the theories of rasa, alaṅkāra and dhvani. The A. B. (GOS. vol. I. p. 266) also refers to the views of Audbhaṭas on Nāṭyaśāstra VI. 10. Vide ‘definition of poetry or Kāvya’ in JOR (Madras vol. III. pp. 85-100, 170-180, 199-223, 331-348 and vol. IV. 45-56 by Pandit D. T. Tatacharya.
