172 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA अत्र दिनमिति प्रकाशमयमित्यर्थेऽवाचकम् । यच्चोपसर्गसंसर्गादर्थान्तरगतम् यथा जङ्घाकाण्डोरुनालो नखकिरणलसत्केसरालीकरालः प्रत्यग्रालक्तकाभाप्रसरकिसलयो मञ्जुमञ्जीरभृङ्गः । भर्तुर्नृत्तानुकारे जयति निजतनूस्वच्छलावण्यवापी- संभूताम्भोजशोभां विदधदभिनवो दण्डपादो भवान्याः ॥१५०॥ अत्र दधदित्यर्थे विदधदिति ।। Here the word ‘ dinam ’ is not quite expressive of brightness [in the same manner as ‘ tāmasī ’ is of darkness.] Another example of this same defect we have in a case where (though the verbal root is quite expressive of the intended meaning), the meaning becomes changed by the particular prefix added to it ; as in the following— ‘ Jaṅghā.................. ......vidadhadabhinavo...bhavānyāḥ ’ ‘ Glorious is the Daṇḍapāda attitude struck up by Bhavānī when imitating her husband’s dance,—the attitude (of the legs) which bears the splendour of the lotus grown in the tank of the exquisite charm of her body, having the thighs for its stalk, the lustrous nails for its filaments, the bright red paints on the feet for its petals, and the jingling anklets for the bees hovering round it.’ Here the word ‘ vidadhat ’ has been used in the sense of ‘ dadhat,’ ‘ bears.’ [The form ‘ dadhat ’ without the prefix ‘ means ‘ bearing’; with the said prefix, it means ‘ ordaining,’ ‘ encompassing ’ and so forth.]
