	abstract = {Chapter 1 explores Dandin{\textquoteright}s Mirror of Literature (K{\={a}}vy{\={a}}dar{\'s}a) with a special focus on its pedagogy and method (m{\={a}}rga). The chapter opens by introducing Dandin and his uniquely open vision, in contrast to most works of Sanskrit {\'s}{\={a}}stra and, in particular, to that of his main predecessor, Bhamaha. This openness is then demonstrated in the discussion of three of the Mirror{\textquoteright}s main topics: poetic ornaments (alaṅk{\={a}}ra), for which Dandin presents a set of figurative modules that enable endless new and playful combinations; poetic flaws (doṣa) and virtues (guṇa), which Dandin sees as scalar (virtues become flaws due to sloppiness or overdoing, but almost every flaw can be upgraded to a virtue or an ornament); and poetry{\textquoteright}s difficult path, with an emphasis on the figure of yamaka, or {\textquotedblleft}twinning,{\textquotedblright} which he shows is easier than would otherwise seem. The chapter concludes by briefly discussing Dandin{\textquoteright}s {\textquotedblleft}pleasure principle.{\textquotedblright}},
