380 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA परोक्तिर्भेदकैः श्लिष्टैः समासोक्तिः ॥ प्रकृतार्थप्रतिपादकवाक्येन श्लिष्टविशेषणमाहात्म्यात् न तु विशेष्यस्य सामर्थ्यादपि यत् अप्रकृतस्यार्थस्याभिधानम् सा समासेन संक्षेपेणार्थद्वयकथनात् समासोक्तिः । उदाहरणम्-- लहिऊण तुज्झ बाहुप्फंसं जीए स को वि उल्लासो । जअलच्छी तुह विरहे ण हुज्जला दुब्बला णं सा ॥४३४॥ अत्र जयलक्ष्मीशब्दस्य केवलं कान्तावाचकत्वं नास्ति ॥ As there is nothing in the shape of Context and the rest to restrict the denotation of the words-used, both, the Sun as well as the King, are equally capable of being accepted as the object described. 96. IX—Samāsokti—Modal Metaphor. Where the other object is implied by means of paronomatic differentiating adjuncts, it is Modal Metaphor. When a sentence descriptive of the object meant to be described serves to imply something else not meant to be described, through the force of adjectives used punningly—and not through any force of the object it- self,—it is Modal Metaphor, 'Samāsokti',—so called be- cause it consists in a 'statement' (ukti) of two meanings, 'in brief' (samāsena). Example— 'Lahiūṇa tujjha bāhupphaṁsaṁ Jīe sa ko vi ullāso. Jaa-lachchhī tuha virahe ṇa hujjalā dubbalā ṇaṁ sā'. 'Jayalakṣmī (the Glory of Victory) who felt a peculiar exhilaration on attaining the touch of your arms, is no longer bright, on being separated from you ; in fact she is emaciated.'
