186 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA अत्र सायकादयः शब्दाः खड्गाब्धिभूचन्द्रयशःपर्यायाः शराद्यर्थतया प्रसिद्धाः ।। कुविन्दस्त्वं तावत्पटयसि गुणग्राममभितो यशो गायन्त्येते दिशि दिशि च नग्नास्तव विभो । शरज्ज्योत्स्नागौरस्फुटविकटसर्वाङ्गसुभगा तथापि त्वत्कीर्तिर्भ्रमति विगताच्छादनमिह ॥१७३॥ अत्र कुविन्दादिशब्दोऽर्थान्तरं प्रतिपादयन्नुपश्लोक्यमानस्य तिरस्कारं व्यनक्तीत्यनुचितार्थः । tively, of sword, ocean, earth, moon, and fame,—while they are better known as having the sense of arrow, love-god, forgiveness, lotus and verse, respectively [and hence the desired signification of all these words is ‘suppressed’]. (4) [‘Improper signification’] Kuvindastvaṁ tāvat paṭayasi guṇagrāmamabhito Yasho gāyantyete dishi dishi cha nagnāstava vibho Sharajjyotsnāgaurasphuṭavikaṭasarvāṅgasubhagā Tathāpi tvatkīrtirbhramati vigatāchchhādanamiha’. ‘As Lord of the Earth, you are spreading on all sides hosts of good qualities ; these bards are singing your fame on all sides ; and yet thy renown, beautiful and resplen- dent as the autumnal moon, wanders about unfurled.’ Here there is an ‘improper signification,’ inasmuch as some of the words—e. g. ‘kuvinda’ [‘paṭayasi’, ‘nagna’, ‘yasha’] have a second meaning which indicates disrespect towards the person described. [‘Kuvinda’ means a weaver, ‘guṇam paṭayasi’ means ‘weave yarn, ‘nagna’ means naked, ‘yashaḥ is capable of being read or construed as ‘ayaśaḥ,’ so that the person addressed comes to be described as a weaver weaving cloth and so forth.]
