Title

Dhvanyaloka by Anandavardhana: A Critical Reading of the Theory of Suggestion in Poetry

Abstract

The present research article attempts to explore Anandavardhana’s views on “aesthetic suggestion”. Anandavardhana was a Kashmiri Poet and a literary critic whose thoughts on literary creation, types of poetry and varieties of suggestion had a significant place in the Indian aestheticism. He was a Dhvanikar i.e. a critic of Dhvani and his most valuable book Dhvanyaloka or A Light on Suggestion got classical position in the Indian literary criticism. Anandavardhana’s philosophical works placed him among the greatest tradition of the writings of Bharata, Bhamah and Vamana. However, his study area or the attitude of looking towards poetry made him greatest and unorthodox theoretician. He was the first literary critic who provided the cohesive and comprehensive literary criticism of poetry. He was the first critic who offered criticism of a literary work as a whole. Before him, the critics were paying their attention towards the stanza pattern, or particular sentence, etc and avoided to study the poetry as a whole. Another reason to call Anandvardhana as a trendsetter in literary criticism is that he turned the focus of criticism from outer part of poetry to the internal part of poetry. Before Anandavardhana, many critics and literary theoreticians profoundly studied poetry considering its external elements such as stanza pattern, poetic devices and artistic elements and neglected the inner beauty of poetry. They didn’t care about how language generates meaning in poetry and how the readers understand the meaning. Having got this missing element from the ancient Indian literary criticism, Anandvardhana wrote his seminal book Dhvanyaloka that turned the study focus of literary criticism from outer embellishment to the inner beauty of the poetry. It means the book critically studies the thematic aspects of the poetry, the creation of meaning, types of poetry and varieties of suggestion, etc. This paper briefly sheds light on Anandvardhana’s seminal book Dhvanyaloka.

Key Words

Dhvani, suggestion, external and internal elements of poetry, meaning generation, etc.
