CHAPTER IV 89 शरीरो व्यञ्जकः । एवं द्वादश भेदाः ॥ शब्दार्थोभयभूरेकः अतन्द्रचन्द्राभरणा समुद्दीपितमन्मथा । तारकातरला श्यामा सानन्दं न करोति कम् ॥ ७२ ॥ अत्रोपमा व्यङ्ग्या ॥ In these last four examples the suggestive factor is based upon the assertion of an imaginary character delinea- ted by the poet. These are the twelve varieties (of Suggestion Based upon the Force of Meaning). That (suggestion) based upon both Word and Meaning is one only. For example— ‘ Atandrachandrābharaṇā samuddīpitamanmathā. Tārakātaralā śyāmā sānandamna karoti kam’. ‘ Whom does the young woman not please—adorned as she is, with a bright head-jewel, arousing love, and with unsteady glances—being like the night adorned with the bright moon, arousing thoughts of love, and glimmering with stars ?’ Here the figure of ‘ Simile ’ is suggested. [And all this is ‘suggested by the imaginary fact that the king caught hold of the locks of one lady and the enemies were embraced by other ladies.] [And this suggestion is based upon the power of both word and meaning ; the former, because the entire similitude rests upon the double meanings of the words ‘śyāmā,’ ‘chandra’ and ‘tārākā,’ which cannot be replaced by their synonyms without destroying the said effect ; and the latter because the other words are such as can be easily replaced by other synonyms without spoiling the effect.]
