काव्यमीमांसा (महाकवि राजशेखर - कवि-रहस्य एवं देश-विभाग सटीक)

THIRTEENTH ADHYĀYA 225 ll. 16-24. This नवनेपथ्य is exactly similar to the नटनेपथ्य of the प्रतिबिंबकल्प class. In the नटनेपथ्य the same import of the first stanza is expressed in the second verse in a different language by a different poet. But, here, the same description of a thing adopted in the first verse, is reproduced in the second in a slightly modified style. It is described in the first stanza that तिलक on a woman's cheek which resembled the dark spot in the moon, is removed by the drops of her tear when she wept at the delay of her lover. But, in the second verse, the same idea is represented in a mo- dified style and पत्रलताs or leaves and creepers in the cheeks of the ladies are said to have been destroyed by the hot tears coming from the eyes of the खण्डिता नायिकाs. l. 25. एकपरिकार्य is said to take place when a later writer borrows a method of description from an earlier poet and changes the prin- cipal object of description. The first verse is exploited while the second shows the exploitation. In both the verses, cited as an illustration of this class of borrowing, the elephant's trunk of Gaṇeśa is described as similar to the stalk of a lotus when it is raised up by him. But the author of the first verse makes the sun resemble a lotus to which Gaṇeśa's trunk is said as the stalk ; while the author of the second verse represents the tip of the elephant's trunk as the lotus. *[l. 26. अव्याद्गजेन्द्रवदनः. No. 80 of सुभाषितावली, attributed to गणपति whom Rājaśekhara praises as under:— अथो गणपतिं वन्दे महामोदविधायिनम् । विद्याधरगणैर्यस्य पूज्यते कण्ठगर्जितम् ॥ This is attributed by some to विद्यापति.] Page. 71. *[l. 6. रविसङ्क्रान्त. in ध्वन्यालोक II ; attributed to Vālmīki.] ll. 6-11. The author of the first verse, compares the winter- moon to a mirror which is made dirty by the sighings of on-lookers. The same idea has been borrowed by the author of the next verse where he describes the happy countenance of a lady as similar to a mirror which becomes natural when the dirt due to the tears and sighings of the on-lookers, is cleared off. This borrowing is, there- fore, called प्रत्यापत्तिः । २९
