CHAPTER VII 285 (१०) अङ्गस्याप्रधानस्यातिविस्तरेण वर्णनम् । यथा हय- ग्रीववधे हयग्रीवस्य ॥ (११) अङ्गिनोननुसंधानम् । यथा रत्नावल्यां चतुर्थेऽङ्के बाभ्रव्यागमने सागरिकाया विस्मृतिः ॥ (१२) प्रकृतयो दिव्या अदिव्या दिव्यादिव्याश्च वीररौद्र- शृङ्गारशान्तरसप्रधाना धीरोदात्तधीरोद्धतधीरललितधीर- प्रशान्ताः उत्तमाधममध्यमाश्च । तत्र रतिहासशोकाद्भुतानि अदिव्योत्तमप्रकृतिवत् दिव्येष्वपि । किं तु रतिः संभोगशृङ्गार- रूपा उत्तमदेवताविषया न वर्णनीया । तद्वर्णनं हि पित्रोः संभोग- वर्ण निमवात्यन्तमनुचितम् । (10) 'Excessive Dilatation of the Subordinate Factor' we find in the lengthy description of Hayagrīva in the Hayagrīvavadha—Kāvya. (11) 'Neglect of the Principal Factor' we find in the Fourth Act of the Ratnāvalī, where, on the approach of Bābhravya, Sāgarikā, the heroine, is completely ignored. (12) 'Characters' are of three kinds—Divine, Non- divine, (Human) and Humo-divine. Each of these again is (a) firm-noble, (b) firm-haughty, (c) firm-gay, and (d) firm-calm, according as they are under the influence respectively of (a) the Heroic, (b) the Furious, (c) the Erotic and (d) the Quietistic Passions. [Thus there are 12 kinds]. Each of these again is either High, Medium or Low.—Now among these, Love, Mirth, Grief and Wonder are found in Divine as well as Human characters ; but it is not right to describe the Erotic Love-dalliances of a High-Divine character ; in fact such a description would be as highly improper as that of the love-dealings of one's own parents.
