CHAPTER X 459 उदाहरणम्-- विभिन्नवर्णा गरुडाग्रजेन सूर्यस्य रथ्याः परितः स्फुरन्त्या । रत्नैः पुनर्यत्र रुचा रुचं स्वामानिन्यिरे वंशकरीरनीलैः ॥५६३॥ अत्र रवितुरगापेक्षया गरुडाग्रजस्य तदपेक्षया च हरिन्म- णीनां प्रगुणवर्णता ॥१३७॥ तद्रूपाननुहारश्चेदस्य तत् स्यादतद्गुणः । यदि तु तदीयं वर्णं संभवन्त्यामपि योग्यतायाम् इदं न्यूनगुणं न गृह्णीयात् तदा भवेदतद्गुणो नाम । When a thing, on contact with another thing, has its own character obscured by the superiority of the brilliant qualities of the other, and acquires a semblance of that thing, it is the figure Quality-borrowing, ‘Tadguṇa’— so called because there is borrowing of the quality (‘guṇa’) of that, (‘tat’), the thing other than the one described. Example— ‘The sun’s horses, having their colour altered by the wide-spreading splendour of Aruṇa, (the Sun’s charioteer, the brother of Garuḍa), were brought back to their own colour by the gems, green like the bamboo-sprout’. Here the green gems are described as possessed of more brilliant qualities than Aruṇa, whose qualities are more brilliant than those of the Sun’s horses. LVIII.—Atadguṇa—Non-borrowing of Qualities. If, however, there is no absorbing by the one from the other, it is the Non-borrowing of qualities. In a case, where the thing with inferior qualities does not absorb the form of the other thing,—even when such absorption is possible,—then it is the figure named ‘Non-borrowing of Qualities’. II-11
