CHAPTER VIII 307 अन्यदिति । व्याप्यमिह चित्तम् । सर्वत्रेति । सर्वेषु रसेषु सर्वासु रचनासु च ॥ गुणवृत्त्या पुनस्तेषां वृत्तिः शब्दार्थयोर्मता ॥ ७१ ॥ गुणवृत्त्या उपचारेण । तेषांगुणानाम् । आकारे शौर्यस्येव ।। ७०-७१ ।। कुतस्त्रय एव न दश इत्याह केचिदन्तर्भवन्त्येषु दोषत्यागात्परे श्रिताः । अन्ये भजन्ति दोषत्वं कुत्रचिन्न ततो दश ॥ ७२ ॥ That which quickly pervades the other like fire among dry fuel, or like a clean stream of water, is Lucidity, whose presence is proper everywhere. 'The other'—i. e., the heart. 'Every where'—i.e., in all Passions and in all forms of composition. These (excellences) are held to subsist in words and their meanings only indirectly. 70-71. 'Indirectly'—i. e., figuratively. 'These'—Excellences. These excellences (really subsisting in Passion) are figuratively spoken of (even in Mammaṭa's own definition of Poetry) as subsisting in words and their meanings, in the same manner as Bravery and such qualities are attributed to the body (though really belonging to the soul). 70-71. "Why should the number of these excellences be three only, and not ten (as described by Vāmana)?" The author answers this question— (a) Some (of the ten) are included under these (three) ; (b) others are resolved into the mere negation of certain defects; (c) the rest, in certain cases, have the character of Defects;— for this reason they are not ten. 72.
