Abstract
It is not surprising that the single most important text of Indian poetics should be of special interest to a scholar who has done more than any other Western academic to sensitize us to Indian poetry. Professor Ingalls’ familiarity with a vast area of Sanskrit literature helped me greatly in my understanding of the Dhvanyāloka and the Dhvanyālokalocana. It is therefore appropriate to offer him these thoughts on the old and confounding authorship problem of the Dhvanyāloka.
