CHAPTER IV 79 अमितः समितः प्राप्तैरुत्कर्षैर्हर्षद प्रभो । अहितः सहितः साधुयशोभिरसतामसि ॥ ५६ ॥ अत्रापि विरोधाभासः । निरूपादानसंभारमभित्तावेव तन्वते । जगच्चित्रं नमस्तस्मै कलाश्लाघ्याय शूलिने ॥ ५७ ॥ अत्र व्यतिरेकः । devoid of beauty,’ a contradiction ;—(d) ‘matimānatattvavṛttiḥ’, taken as one word, means ‘who acts with mati, intelligence, and māna, magnanimity ;’ but when resolved into two terms, it means ‘matimān, intelligent’ and ‘atattvavṛttiḥ, acting blankly,’ an apparent contradiction ;—(e) ‘pratipadapakṣāgraṇīḥ’, as one term, means the ‘agraṇīḥ, of your pakṣa, party, pratipada, at each step’ ; but when it is resolved into two terms, it means ‘pratipat, the first day of the fortnight, and ‘apakṣāgraṇīḥ, not the opening day of the fortnight’, an apparent contradiction.] [Here also the suggestion of ‘Seeming Contradiction’ would be lost if other synonyms were substituted ; hence it is held to be ‘based upon the force of words’.] [Another example of the same kind] ‘Amitaḥ samitaḥ prāptairutkarṣairharṣada prabho Ahitaḥ sahitaḥ sādhu-yaśobhirasatāmasi.’ Here also Seeming Contradiction is the figure suggested.
