Towards the end of the eleventh chapter of the Śṛṅgāraprakāśa , there is an aside in gāthā s that surveys the genres that king Bhoja accepts as constituting the complete range of literary form. The passage is long, 14 pages in Raghavan's edition, and gives us some idea of the unusual flavour of the Śṛṅgāraprakāśa as a whole. Much of it is taken over en bloc from the Nāṭyaśāstra 's eighteenth adhyāya , although with considerable reorganisation and occasional rewriting by Bhoja to account for the spectrum of forms said to be prekṣya ‘visible’ or abhineya ‘performable’. When the text next moves to the anabhineya or ‘non-performable’ types (that is, what other genre surveys, following Kāvyādarśa 1: 39, would call śravyakāvya ), Bhoja composes his own verses, though continuing in a very similar style to the old Bhāratīya gāthā s, to account for the rest of his typology
