Note 34 — IX VIÇĀKHADATTA AND BHAṬṬA NĀRĀYAṆA
Reading edition
These and many other passages are cited by the writers on poetics who find in the Veṇīsaṁhāra an inexhaustible mine of illustration of the theory which doubtless deeply affected the author in his composition. They do not, however, eulogize him blindly; the love scene with Bhānumatī is definitely treated as out of place.34
