CHAPTER X 377 प्रकृतं यन्निषिध्यान्यत् साध्यते सा त्वपह्नुतिः । उपमेयम् असत्यं कृत्वोपमानं सत्यतया यत् स्थाप्यते सा तु अपह्नुतिः उदाहरणम्-- अवाप्तः प्रागल्भ्यं परिणतरुचः शैलतनये कलङ्को नैवायं विलसति शशाङ्कस्य वपुषि । अमुष्येयं मन्ये विगलदमृतस्यन्दशिशिरे रतिश्रान्ता शेते रजनिरमणी गाढमुरसि ॥४३०॥ इत्थं वा बत सखि कियदेतत् पश्य वैरं स्मरस्य प्रियविरहकृशेस्मिन् रागिलोके तथा हि । There is ‘Girdle-Metaphor’ also, in such verses as— “The Love-god captivates the hearts of amorous men, by means (1) of the hand-like leaves of creepers, (2) of the lotus-like hands and moon-like faces of women, and (3) of the lotus-like faces of the lotus-pond.’ This, however, has not been described here as there is not much charm in it. 95. VII—Apahnuti—Concealment. When the object to be described is negatived and another is affirmed, it is Concealment. Where the ‘object compared’ is ‘negatived’—declared to be unreal,—and the ‘object compared to’ is ‘affirmed’ declared to be real, it is the Figure of Concealment. Example— ‘O Pārvatī! This that you see is not the fully de- veloped stigma in the disc of the moon shining with full lustre; I think it is his beloved, Night, fatigued by dalli- ance, sleeping soundly on his chest, rendered cool by the drops of nectar.’
