Viśvanātha's Kāvyaprakāśadarpaṇa (K. P. D.) & Sāhityadarpaṇa (S. D.)

Visvanatha was wellknown by his work Sahityadarpana (S.D.) among Sanskrit Poetics. He also wrote a commentary called Kavyaprakasadarpana (K. P. D.) on the Kavyaprakasa (K. P.) of Mammata, after completing the S. D. He has mentioned S. D. several times in this commentary.

पण्ड्या विश्वनाथ की टीका 'काव्यप्रकाशदर्पण' की तुलना उनके पूर्वरचित 'साहित्यदर्पण' से करती हैं। प्रथम छह उल्लासों में तेरह स्थलों पर वे साहित्यदर्पण का नाम लेते हैं; लेखिका समान वाक्य और विचार आमने-सामने रखती हैं तथा सावधान करती हैं कि १९७९ का इलाहाबाद-संस्करण अशुद्धियों से भरा है। Pandya compares Viśvanātha's commentary Kāvyaprakāśadarpaṇa with his own earlier Sāhityadarpaṇa. She counts thirteen places in the first six ullāsas where he names the Sāhityadarpaṇa, sets matching sentences and ideas side by side, and warns that the 1979 Allahabad edition is full of misprints.
