CHAPTER, VII 209 अत्र हि विकटवर्णत्वं दीर्घसमासत्वं चोचितम् । यथा प्रागप्राप्तनिशुम्भशांभवधनुर्द्वेधाविधाविर्भवत्- क्रोधप्रेरितभीमभार्गवभुजस्तम्भापविद्धः क्षणात् । उज्जवालः परशुर्भवत्वशिथिलस्त्वत्कण्ठपीठातिथि- र्येनानेन जगत्सु खण्डपरशुर्देवो हरः ख्याप्यते ॥२०९॥ यत्र तु न क्रोधस्तत्र चतुर्थपादाभिधाने तथैव शब्दप्रयोगः ॥ Droṇa is going to do precisely what was done by Paraśu- rāma '.— What would have been in consonance with the senti- ment depicted would be [not the soft letters and simple words used, but] harsh sounding letters and long com- pounds ; as in the following— ‘ Prāgaprāptaniśumbhaśāmbhava- dhanurdvedhāvidhāvirbhavat- Krodhapreritabhīmabhārgavabhuja- stambhāpaviddhaḥ kṣaṇāt Ujjvālaḥ parashurbhavatvashithilas- tvatkaṇṭhapīṭhātithir- Yenānena jagatsu khaṇḍaparashur- devo haraḥ khyāpyate ’. ‘ May this blazing and powerful axe of mine, by reason whereof the god Shiva is known as ‘the god of the broken axe,’ (He having bestowed a part of his axe to me), be the guest of the back of your neck,—being wielded by my pillar-like terrific arms urged into action by the wrath excited by the breaking of the ever unbent bow of Śiva ’;— [We find long compounds and harsh-sounding words] ; but in the last quarter of the verse, where no anger is expressed (but only a deferential reference to the God Shiva), we have words suited to the sentiment.
