The Sahityakantakoddhāra is exposi-
tory in nature, but belongs to the field
of "Grammar as an Applied Science".
It is similar to the section on sabdaśuddhi
in Kävyälamkarasütravṛtti of Vamana.
The 6th chapter in Bhamaha's Kāvyā-
lamkära, the Prayogikädhikaraṇa of
Vamana, and Durghatavṛtti are only a
few works that have a systematic treat-
ment pointing out the correctness or
otherwise of some of the usages of Poets
in Sanskrit. Compared to the bulk of
works dealing with other literary aspects,
the works on śabdaśuddhi are very few.
The Sähityakantakoddhāra is a new addi-
tion in the field. As is made clear by the
title, in the opinion of the author of the
S.K.U., the incorrect or incorrect-look-
ing usages of Poets are like thorns (i.e.
kantaka) on the path of the sahitya. He
has tried to clear the path of these thorns.
For information about the manuscripts
utilised, about the author and his prob-
able date, on new expressions, which
are not noted by others in the field but

related topics, see the Introduction and
Critical Footnotes.
