CHAPTER VII 215 अत्र ‘वस्त्राण्यपि’ इति पाठे लघुरपि गुरुतां भजते ॥ हा नृप हा बुध हा कविबन्धो विप्रसहस्रसमाश्रय देव । मुग्धविदग्धसभान्तररत्न क्वासि गतः क्व वयं च तवैते ॥२१९॥ हास्यरसव्यञ्जकमेतद्वृत्तम् (६) न्यूनपदं यथा तथाभूतां दृष्ट्वा नृपसदसि पाञ्चालतन्‍यां वने व्याधैः सार्धं सुचिरमुषितं वल्कलधरैः । विराटस्यावासे स्थितमनुचितारम्भनिभृतं गुरुः खेदं खिन्ने मयि भजति नाद्यापि कुरुषु ॥२२०॥ [Here the short syllable ‘cha’ at the end is such as cannot take the long accent]. If the reading were ‘nyapi’ (instead of ‘ṇi cha’), the ‘pi’, even though short, could have taken the long accent (by virtue of its being preceded by the conjunct consonant “nya”). (c) ‘Hā nrpa.........tavaite’. ‘O king ! O wise one ! O patron of poets, the patron of hundreds of Brāhmaṇas ! O godlike one, jewel of the assembly of the learned and the wise ! Whereto have you gone ?—and where are we, your very own ?’ The metre adopted here is suited to the delineation of the Comic (and not of the Pathetic, to which it is employed here). (6) The following is an example of the ‘deficient in words’— ‘Tathābhūtāṁ dṛṣṭvā nṛpasadasi pāñchālatanayāṁ Vane vyādhaiḥ sārdhaṁ suchiramuṣitaṁ valkaladharaiḥ Virāṭasyāvāse sthitamanuchitārambhanibhṛtaṁ Guruḥ khedaṁ khinne mayi bhajati nādyāpi kuruṣu.
