भामह / BHĀMAHA. A critic who lived in the sixth century A.D. He was one of the top critics in the Sanskrit language. His important work is ‘Kāvyālaṁkāra’. This is also called Bhāmahālaṁkāra by a few. There are six chapters in this. The first chapter deals with Kāvyaśarīra, the second and third with Alaṁkāra, the fourth with Kāvyadoṣa the fifth with Nyāya and the sixth with Śabdaśuddhi. As against daṇḍī bhāmaha separates ‘Kathā’ from ‘Ākhyāyikā’. According to him the requisites of a good kāvya are sweetness, pleasantness and liveliness. daṇḍī prescribes ten attributes for a good kāvya. bhāmaha is of opinion that Vakrokti is no alaṁkāra at all. In a wider sense it is ‘atiśayokti’ (exaggeration). But bhāmaha admits it has a place in kāvya.
