80 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA अलंकार्यास्यापि ब्राह्मणश्रमणन्यायेनालंकारता । वस्तुमात्रं यथा पंथिअ ण एत्थ सत्थरमत्थि मणं पत्थरत्थले गामे । उण्णअपओहरं पेक्खिऊण जइ वससि ता वससु ॥ ५८ ॥ अत्र यद्युपभोगक्षमोसि तदा आस्स्वेति व्यज्यते । शनिरशनिश्च तमुच्चैर्निहन्ति कुप्यसि नरेन्द्र यस्मै त्वम् । यत्र प्रसीदसि पुनः स भात्युदारोनुदारश्च ॥ ५९ ॥ Here the figure of speech suggested is the Vyatireka, Dissimilitude (between the god described and the ordinary painter.) Though in the examples cited the figure suggested is the predominant factor, and hence something to be embellished (alaṅkārya ; and for that reason, it cannot be right to call it, as the text has done, an alaṅkāra, an em- bellishment, a figure of speech), yet it is so called on the analogy of the expression ‘ brāhmaṇaśramaṇa.’ [When one has become a ‘ śramaṇa,’ a Buddhist monk, he has no- caste ; and yet the expression ‘ brāhmaṇa śramaṇa ’ is used in the sense ‘ the monk that was, under other circumstances, a Brāhmaṇa ’ ; similarly in the case in question, what is meant by the suggested mea- ning being a figure, an ‘ alaṅkāra,’ is that, under other circumstances, —i. e. when expressed directly by the word and not only suggested,—it. would be so, even though in the instances cited it is not so.] (b) The following is the example of that where what is suggested is a bare matter of fact.— ‘ O traveller, in this village of stones, there is not a bedding to be had ; yet, seeing the rising clouds (unnata- payodhara, my blossoming breasts), if you decide to lodge here, you may do so.’ Here what is suggested is—‘ if you are fit to enjoy my company, then you may stay here.’
