(Among the ten enumerated by Vāmana) are—(1) Śhleṣa, Coalescence, defined as that property whereby several words have the appearance of a single word,—(2) Samādhi, Smoothness, defined as consisting in the proper adjustment of ascent (high-flown language) and descent (simple langu- age),—(3) Udārartā, Magnificence, consisting in the fanciful grouping of words,—(4) Prasāda, Simplicity, consisting in dullness mixed with floridity ;—and all these are included in ‘Floridity’ (as defined by ourselves) ;—(5) Mādhurya, Sweetness, consisting in the distinctness of words, has, in a way, been admitted by us also under the same name ;— (6) Arthavyakti, Clearness of Meaning, is included under ‘Lucidity ’,—(7) Samatā, Uniformity, consisting in the sameness of style, is, in some cases, a defect ; e. g., in such verses, ‘mātaṅgāiḥ kimu &c.’ (see above stanza No. 229.), where too, the abandoning of the softer diction, in the description of the Lion (in the fourth line), is a posi- tive excellence,—(8) Saukumārya, Softness, consisting in the absence of harshness, and (9) Kānti, Polish, consisting in the brightness of style, are admitted as the negations respectively of ‘harshness’ and ‘vulgarity’, which have been mentioned as defects.
