ĀNANDAVARDHANA : A great critic of Sanskrit litera- ture. He lived in the 9th century A.D. He expounded his theory of Dhvanivāda by 120 Kārikās. His own commentary of the Kārikās is the book called Dhvanyā- loka. There are four parts for Dhvanyāloka and each part is called an Udyota.

There is a belief among a few that the Kārikās were written by another scholar, Sahṛdaya, and that Ānanda- vardhana had written only a commentary on it. He was a member of the royal council of Avantivarmā who ruled Kashmīr during the period 854-884 A.D. It is believed that he wrote Dhvanyāloka in 850 A.D. Many commentaries have been written of Dhvanyāloka of which the one written by Abhinavagupta is consider- ed to be the best.
