Bharata recognized the expedience of the principle in connection with rasa. Bhamaha, Dandin and Rudraţa admitted it in their conception of gunas and dosas. However, the singling out of auchitya as a factor responsible for poetic beauty, and the exposition of its relevance in all constituents of poetry was first accomplished in Dhvanyaloka. Kuntaka too attached due importance to the concept. Ultimately it was Ksemendra (circa 11th c. A. D.) who attempted to raise auchitya to the position of the life of poetry, and to give a comprehensive exposition of it in all detail in his valuable treatise Auchityavicaracarca. In this attempt, he was inspired by Anandavardhana's and Abhinavagupta's treatment of the subject, and his exposition is mostly an elaboration of the view expressed in Dhvanyaloka.  \nTheory of Auchitya  \nAs described by Ksemendra, the greatest exponent of this theory, \"auchitya is the condition of being appropriate or fit, the state of being proper. When one thing befits another, or when things suit each other well and match perfectly, they may be said to be proper or appropriate. Such matching or fitting quality is auchitya. \" To clarify this further, when the different components of a composition are appropriate to the context, when they match and balance harmoniously to achieve the purpose of the poet, that quality is termed auchitya.  \nBharata specifies appropriate abhinayas (speech, gestures, facial expressions and dress) as well as anubhavas, and sancaribhavas in the manifestation of any particular rasa. They are not capable of being used indiscriminately; and any violation would result in rasa being not manifested at all. In Bhamaha and other writers, gunas and dosas are conceived as anitya (variable) . That is, a poetic excellence or a defect is not invariably so in every context, but will be confined to a given situation. In a different situation, the same guna may become adosa and vice versa. (In many cases of dosas, Dandin gives counter situations where the particular defect amounts to an excellence) . As pointed out by later theorists like Mammața and Visvanatha, this variable nature of gunas and dosas is due to the fact that the condition of their being excellences or defects is determined according to their appropriateness in the context. If any usage is in harmony with the dominant idea of the composition and is contributory to poetic beauty, it is a guna. If not, it is a dosa.  \nAnandavardhana gives a comprehensive exposition of the principle of auchitya with a clear understanding of its function in poetry. He implies that auchitya has to be adhered to at every step in all poetry of any worth. According to the theory of dhvani, the ideal kavya is that in which rasa is manifested through dhvani, i.e., rasadhvani. Hence, the supreme goal in any poetic composition is manifestation of rasa. Anandavardhana relates auchitya primarily to rasa.  \nThe indispensability of auchitya for proper evocation of rasa is emphatically stated as follows:  \nAnauchityadrte nanyad rasabhaugasya kiranam, Prasiddhauchitya-bandhastu rasasyopanisat para.  \n\"Other than impropriety, there is no cause that contributes to the breach of rasa. The prime secret of rasa-manifestation is conformity to well-known tenets of propriety. \" Thus auchityais reckoned as an intrinsic element in rasa, and consequently in poetry. With regard to rasa, auchitya has two aspects. On one hand, it is the condition","cbCaibSvobyDWhK3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibSvobyDWhK3","pdf",239637,"English","# Objectives\n# Introduction\n# Theory of Auchitya","[{\"question\":\"What does auchitya mean in the theory discussed here?\",\"answer\":\"Auchitya means appropriateness or fit-ness—when one thing befits another and components match well in a composition.\"},{\"question\":\"How does auchitya affect the manifestation of rasa?\",\"answer\":\"Auchitya ensures conformity to the tenets of propriety so rasa is evoked properly, mainly by fitting subordinate elements to the dominant rasa.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are gunas and dosas considered variable in poetic theory?\",\"answer\":\"Their excellence or defect depends on appropriateness in the given context; the same guna or dosa can reverse when used in a different situation.\"}]","Auchitya - Objectives | PDF",1789771325,11]
