Kuntaka, the 11th Century Kashmiri poetician holds a unique place in Sanskrit poetics due to the astounding depth of his aesthetic theory and the literary insight he displays in judging great masters of Sanskrit literature. Through his Vakroktijvita, he develops the concept of Vakrokti into an all comprehensive principle of literary criticism which can account for the entire range of the creativity manifested at different levels of poetry. The main attraction of Kuntaka's theory is that it can pinpoint any type of creative deviation effected by the poet causing aesthetic charm, from the phonetic patterning at the surface level to the deeper structural innovations. As a literary critic, he displays amazing insight in unraveling the inherent beauty of classics like the Abhijnanasakuntala and Meghasandesa. The present monograph gives a comprehensive account of his contributions to Sanskrit poetics.
