Dear Colleagues,

while commenting on IPK I.5.12 Abhinava’s Vimarśinī says:

ātmāta eva caitanyaṃ citkriyācitikartṛtā /
tātparyeṇoditas tena jaḍāt sa hi vilakṣaṇaḥ // Ipk_1,5.12 //
[…] citkriyācitikartṛtātātparyeṇa iti samāsaḥ / ardhayuk pādaviśrāntiḥ iti hi 
kāvye samayaḥ, na śāstre.

So the first word in the third pāda is to be considered in compound with the 
last word of the second. According to the rule ardhayuk pādaviśrāntiḥ (by the 
way, coming from where?) this should be inadmissible, but – Abhinava says – 
this holds only for kāvya, not for śāstra. My question is: are you aware of a 
set of exceptional rules only valid for the śāstric metrical texts?

Many thanks!
Raffaele
