Aesthetics “A Science of Fine Arts” is an outcome of the self-realisation, which Indian aestheticians, has attained by their tap and devotion (s¹dhya) through their age old experiments by the way of their sensuous power. There is well experimented siddh¹ntas (theories) or processes of judgement with sensuous taste in relishing aesthetic beauty, that Indian aestheticians assure. These siddh¹ntas (theories) can be relished, enjoyed and can be expressed in words. The multifarious process of appropriating words and sentences like syntax, diction, style matures as a result of their cumulative refinement for centuries, till it is appreciated as full fledge doctrine (siddh¹nta) of Indian poetics. These siddh¹ntas (theories) are: rasasiddh¹nta of ¸c¹ryaBharat (theory of aesthetic pleasure), alaṁkāra siddhānta of ¸c¹ryaBh¹mah (theory of figures of speech), dhvani siddhānta of ¸c¹rya ¸nandavardhana (theory of suggestion), rīti siddhānta of ¸c¹ryaV¹man (theory of style), vakrokti siddhānta of ¸c¹ryaKuntaka (theory of obliquity), and aucitya siddh¹nta of ¸c¹rya K¬emendra (theory of propriety). The essence of the Vedic and the Non-Vedic religious, sectarian concepts, philosophical thoughts and doctrine (siddh¹nta) of different schools has considerably enriched and sweetened Indian philosophy; and its scope is so great and the span is so vast, that we find no such line of literary study that is not perfumed with its essence.
