¹ Rūpa Gosvāmin explains that this is because in orthodox Poetics the concern is with the ordinary hero (tat tu syāt prākṛta-kṣudra-nāyakādyanusārataḥ). He says similarly in his Nāṭaka-candrikā (śl. 11): neṣṭā yad aṅginī rase kavibhiḥ paroḍhā/ tad gokulāmbujadṛśām kūlam antareṇa/ āsaṃsayā rasavidher avatāritānām/ kamsārinā rasika-maṇḍala-śekhareṇa//. This verse is quoted anonymously at p. 80.
