CHAPTER X 387 येनास्यभ्युदितेन चन्द्र गमितः क्लान्तिं रवौ तत्र ते युज्येत प्रतिकर्तुमेव न पुनस्तस्यैव पादग्रहः । क्षीणेनैतदनुष्ठितं यदि ततः किं लज्जसे नो मनाग् अस्त्वेवं जडधामता तु भवतो यद् व्योम्नि विस्फूर्जसे ॥४४४॥ आदाय वारि परितः सरितां मुखेभ्यः किं तावदर्जितमनेन दुरर्णवेन। क्षारीकृतं च वडवादहने हुतं च पातालकुक्षिकुहरे विनिवेशितं च ॥४४५॥ himself,—he may do all this if thereby he can save the world ;—this was the way shown by the Noble Person ’. [What is meant to be described here is a certain noble benefactor of men, while what is described is another noble benefactor in the per- son of Viṣṇu ; and this latter is made to point to the former by means of such paronomatic expressions as are applicable to both cases.] (2) ‘O Moon, when the Sun rises, you become deprived of your lustre ; what is proper for you then is to avenge yourself, and not to fall upon his feet [ borrow his light- rays .] If this has been done by you when you had be- come impoverished, then are you not ashamed ?—or, that you even now show yourself in the sky may be due to your nervelessness [ coolness of your light ].’ [What is meant to be described here is the behaviour of a certain impoverished person ; and this is indicated by the description of another impoverished person in the shape of the Moon ; and this is done through Modal Metaphor based upon the Pun involved in the words ‘pāda- grahaḥ’ and ‘jaḍadhāmatā.’] (3) ‘ What has the wretched Ocean done with the water that he has received from the mouths of rivers ? He has rendered it brackish or poured it into the Submarine Fire, or thrown it into the innermost recesses of the Nether World.’
