One of the most famous works on poetics is the Kāvyaprakāśa⁵ of the Kashmiri Brāhmaṇa Mammaṭa (11th century A. D.)⁶. He is dependent mostly upon Udbhaṭa and Rudraṭa. According to him the best poetry is that with implied meaning (dhvani). The large numer of commentaries that had been written on the Kāvyaprakāśa attest to the prestige and honour this work enjoyed and the extent to which it was studied and used¹.
