CHAPTER VII 247 अत्र शस्त्रमोचने हेतुर्नोपात्तः ॥ (९) इदं ते केनोक्तं कथय कमलातङ्कवदने यदेतस्मिन् हेम्नः कटकमिति धत्से खलु धियम् । इदं तद् दुःसाधाक्रमणपरमास्त्रं स्मृतिभुवा तव प्रीत्या चक्रं करकमलमूले विनिहितम् ॥२६४॥ अत्र कामस्य चक्रं लोकेप्रसिद्धम् । यथा वा (९ अ) उपपरिसरं गोदावर्याः परित्यजताध्वगाः सरणिमपरो मार्गस्तावद्भवद्भिरिहेक्ष्यताम् । इह हि विहितो रक्ताशोकः कयापि हताशया चरणनलिनन्यासोदञ्चन्नवाङ्कुरकञ्चुकः ॥२६५॥ अत्र पादाघातेनाशोकस्य पुष्पोद्गमः कविषु प्रसिद्धो न पुनरङ्कु- रोद्गमः । This supplies no reason why the speaker is giving up his weapon. (9) [Example of what “is contrary to prevalent notions”]— ‘ O thou, whose face abashes the lotus ! who has told you this, by virtue of which thou entertainest the notion that this thing is a bangle of gold ? In reality, it is the disc of the Love-god placed, through his love for you, on your wrist, as the weapon capable of striking the most invulnerable of men !’ The idea of the Love-god holding a disc is ‘ contrary to all prevalent notions ’ regarding him. Another example— ‘ O travellers ! Give up this path that passes along the Godāvarī, and look out for another path ; as on this spot the red Aśoka tree has grown fresh sprouts through the action of the lotus-feet of some mischievous woman ’.
