Excerpts from some Select Opinions:
How an insightful and intensive survey of even a single Alankara like rupaka can become a substantial contribution to the study of an aesthetic concept is well evidenced in this work.

Dr. K. Krishnamoorthy
Dharwad, Karnatak

I am sure that the work will be a landmark in the researches in the concept and application of the Alankaras devised by Sanskrit rhetoricians and that it will pave the way for similar studies regarding other Alankaras.
