CHAPTER X 383 उन्नतं पदमवाप्य यो लघुर्हेलयैव स पतेदिति ब्रुवन् । शैलशेखरगतो दृषत्कणश्चारुमारुतधुतः पतत्यधः ॥४३८॥ अत्र पातक्रियया पतनस्य लाघवे सति उन्नतपदप्राप्ति- रूपस्य च संबन्धः ख्याप्यते ॥ अप्रस्तुतप्रशंसा या सा सैव प्रस्तुताश्रया ॥ ९८ ॥ अप्राकरणिकस्याभिधानेन प्राकरणिकस्याक्षेपोऽप्रस्तुतप्रशंसा।।९८।। कार्ये निमित्ते सामान्ये विशेषे प्रस्तुते सति । तदन्यस्य वचस्तुल्ये तुल्यस्येति च पञ्चधा ॥ ९९ ॥ Example— “When a low thing attains a high position, it will naturally fall,”—so, saying as it were, the stone-dust, on the hill-top falls down when shaken by the mild wind.’ Here it is the action of falling (of the stone-dust) which points to the connection between the action of falling and its cause, in the shape of the low person attaining to high positions. XI—Aprastutaprashaṁsā—Indirect Description. Where the description of an irrelevant thing points to the object meant to be described, it is Indirect Description. 98. When the description of something not connected with the context serves to point to, imply, that which is meant to be described,—it is Indirect Description. 98. It is of five kinds:—...here what is meant to be described is—(a) the effect, or (b) a cause, or (c) Universal, or (d) Particular,—what is actually spoken of is their converse (correlative) ; and (e) when what is meant to be described is one thing, and what is spoken of is something else of the same class. 99.

Examples in order— (a) ‘‘ ‘O beautiful one, don’t those who go out meet again ? Don’t be anxious for me ; you are extremely weak ”,—while, with tears, I was saying this, she, with her eyes fixed through modesty and absorbing the over- flowing tears, smiled and by that smile she indicated her joy at her approaching death.’ Asked for an explanation of the effect, in the shape of the postponement of his projected journey, the speaker has described here the cause [in the shape of the beloved’s perceptible determination to die on separation.] (b) “ ‘O King, the princess is not teaching me to talk ; and the queens also are sitting silent. O Kubjā, feed me. Why are not the princes and ministers taking their food even at this time ?’—Thus does the parrot in the empty turrets of your enemy’s houses, speak, when let out of the cage by the passers-by, it sees the figure of its ‘master on the pictures.’

CHAPTER X 385 अत्र प्रस्थानोद्यतं भवन्तं ज्ञात्वा सहसैव त्वदरयः पलाय्य गताः इति कारणे प्रस्तुते कार्यमुक्तम् । एतत्तस्य मुखात्कियत् कमलिनीपत्रे कणं वारिणो यन्मुक्तामणिरित्यमंस्त स जडः शृण्वन्यदस्मादपि । अङ्गुल्यग्रलघुक्रियाप्रविलयिन्यादीयमाने शनैः कुत्रोड्डीय गतो ममेत्यनुदिनं निद्राति नान्तःशुचा ॥४४१॥ अत्रास्थाने जडानां ममत्वसंभावना भवतीति सामान्ये प्रस्तुते विशेषः कथितः । सुहृद्वधूबाष्पजलप्रमार्जनं करोति वैरप्रतियातनेन यः । स एव पूज्यः स पुमान्स नीतिमान्सुजीवितं तस्य स भाजनं श्रियः ॥४४२॥ What is meant to be described here is the fact that 'as soon as your enemies came to know of your projected march against them, they fled away from their houses'; and this fact is the cause of the effect that is described in the verse. (c) 'What wonder is it to hear from his mouth that a certain block-head thought the water-drops upon the lotus-leaf to be so many pearls ?—Hear something more than this—when that same person proceeded to pick up the drops, they disappeared under the light pressure of his finger-tips, and since then the fool, intensely aggrieved at the thought of his pearls having flown away, goes with- out sleep day after day.' What was meant to be described was the Universal or general fact that 'foolish people have even misplaced long- ings and affections,'—while what is actually described is a particular instance of it.

386 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA अत्र 'कृष्णं निहत्य नरकासुरवधूनां यदि दुःखं प्रशमयसि तत् त्वमेव श्लाघ्यः' इति विशेषे प्रकृते सामान्यमभिहितम् । तुल्ये प्रस्तुते तुल्याभिधाने त्रयः प्रकाराः । श्लेषः समासोक्तिः सादृश्यमात्रं वा तुल्यात् तुल्यस्य ह्याक्षेपे हेतुः । क्रमेणोदाहरणम्— पुंस्त्वादपि प्रविचलेद् यदि यद्यधोपि यायाद् यदि प्रणयने न महानपि स्यात् । अभ्युद्धरेत्तदपि विश्वमितीदृशीयं केनापि दिक् प्रकटिता पुरुषोत्तमेन ॥४४३॥ (d) 'When a man wipes away the tears from the eyes of his friend’s wives, by avenging himself on his enemy, then alone does he deserve to be honoured, then alone is he to be regarded as a man, as a statesman, an abode of majesty ; and then alone is his life worth something.’ What was meant to be expressed was a particular state- ment (addressed to Narakāsura’s (friend) that—‘Then alone will you be deserving of praise, when, by killing Kṛṣṇa (who has killed Narakāsura), you will have alleged the anguish of Naraka’s wives ’; while what is actually ex- pressed is a general statement (without reference to any particular case).

• (e) Of that case, where while what is meant to be described is one thing, what is actually described is something else of the same class,—there are three varieties, according as the indication of one thing by another of the same class is done (1) by a Pun, or (2) by Modal Metaphor, or (3) by mere similarity. Examples in order— (1) ‘One may deviate from the standard of manhood, he may lower himself by begging, he may even demean

[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.’

388 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA इयं च काचित् वाच्ये प्रतीयमानार्थानध्यारोपेणैव भवति । यथा अब्धेरम्भः स्थगितभुवनाभोगपातालकुक्षेः पोतोपाया इह हि बहवो लङ्घनेपि क्षमन्ते । आहो रिक्तः कथमपि भवेदेष दैवात् तदानीं को नाम स्यादवटकुहरालोकनेप्यस्य कल्पः ॥४४६॥ क्वचिदध्यारोपेणैव । यथा कस्त्वं भोः कथयामि दैवहतकं मां विद्धि शाखोटकं वैराग्यादिव वक्षि साधु विदितं कस्मादिदं कथ्यते । [What is meant to be described is a spendthrift, and this is indicated by the description of the spendthrift Ocean ; and this is done through mere similarity between the two persons.] In some cases of this last kind of Indirect Description what is implied is not necessarily imposed (or fastened) upon what is directly expressed. As in the following verse.— ‘There are many people who, with the help of boats, are able to cross the ocean which has covered with water the face of the Earth and also the innermost recesses of the Nether World ; if, however, somehow or other, the ocean were by chance to become emptied, who would be able to even look at the holes and cavities in it ?’ [Here the implied meaning is that ‘for the people it is best that the king, if wicked, should remain prosperous ;’ but the directly expressed description of the ocean itself being quite apt, it is not necessary for the former to be imposed upon this latter.] In other cases the said imposition is essential ; as for instance, in the following verse.— ‘Who are you, Sir ?’—‘Know me to be the fatestricken Shākhoṭaka tree.’—‘You talk as if you were disgusted with life.’—‘You have guessed rightly.’—‘But why so ?’— I am going to explain : This banyan tree that lies to the

CHAPTER X 389 वामेनात्र वटस्तमध्वगजनः सर्वात्मना सेवते न च्छायापि परोपकारकरणे मार्गस्थितस्यापि मे ॥४४७॥ क्वचिदंशेष्वध्यारोपेण । यथा सोऽपूर्वो रसनाविपर्ययविधिः तत् कर्णयोश्चापलं दृष्टिः सा मदविस्मृतस्वपरदिक् किं भूयसोक्तेन वा । सर्वं विस्मृतवानसि भ्रमर हे यद्वारणोद्याप्यसौ अन्तःशून्यकरो निषेव्यत इति भ्रातः क एष ग्रहः ॥४४८॥ left of the road, is attended by all pedestrians, while to me, though I am standing on the road, does not belong even shade enough for rendering help to others.’ [What is implied here is the condition of a lowborn person whose gifts have been refused by a qualified recipient : and the imposition of this upon the expressed description of the tree is essential, since the ideas described can never belong to any such entity as the tree.] In still other cases, there is only partial imposition ; for instance, in the following verse— ‘ That curious process whereby the tongue was re- versed ; the fickleness of ears ; vision incapacitated by intoxication to discriminate between himself and others ;— what is the need for saying more ?—All this you have forgotten, O brother black bee ! and you still stick to this elephant, with an empty trunk [ hand ] ;—whence this peculiar attachment ? [ Here what is implied is the relation between an un- appreciating master and a devoted servant ; and this is imposed upon the case described, of the elephant and the black bee]. The imposition here is only partial ; as ‘ the reversal of the tongue ’ and ‘ emptiness of the trunk ’ are not such circumstances as would justify the abandoning of the elephant by the bee ; it is only the ‘ fickleness of the

XII—Atiśayokti—Hyperbole. It is to be known as the Hyperbole—(a) when the object to be described is indicated as swallowed by the other ;— (b) when the object to be described is represented as another ;— (c) when there is an assumption introduced by some term meaning 'if' ;—and (d) when there is reversal of the normal order of sequence between a cause and its effect. (a) When the 'object compared' is recognised as swallowed within the 'object compared to',—it is one kind of Hyperbole. Example— 'A lotus is found in a place without water ;—two blue lotuses are found in a lotus ;—all these three are found on a golden creeper ;—and that creeper is tender and lovely ;—what a series of portentous phenomena !'

CHAPTER X 391 यच्च तदेवान्यत्वेनाध्यवसीयते सा अपरा । यथा अण्णं लडहत्तणं अण्णा विअ का वि वत्तणच्छाआ । सामा सामण्णपआवइणो रेहच्चिअ ण होइ ॥४५०॥ ‘यद्यर्थस्य’ यदि शब्देन चेच्छब्देन वा उक्तौ यत् कल्पनम् (अर्थात् असंभविनोर्थस्य) सा तृतीया । यथा राकायामकलंकं चेदमृतांशोर्भवेद्वपुः । तस्या मुखं तदा साम्यपराभवमवाप्नुयात् ॥४५१॥ कारणस्य शीघ्रकारितां वक्तुं कार्यस्य पूर्वमुक्तौ चतुर्थी । यथा The face (and the eyes and the body) are represented as ‘swallowed by’ (identified with) the lotus (the blue lotuses and the golden creeper). (b) It is the second kind of Hyperbole, when that same object (to be described) is represented ‘as another’, as something different. Example.— ‘Her tenderness is something quite different ; quite different to the brightness of her complexion ; this young girl is not the creation of the ordinary Creator.’ [Here the idea expressed is that the ‘tenderness’ and other things are quite different from the ordinary tenderness and the rest.] (c) It is the third kind of Hyperbole, when there is ‘assumption’,—i.e., of an impossible idea through the use of ‘some term meaning if’—i.e., of the term ‘yadi’ or ‘chet’. Example— ‘If the body of the Moon at night were to be spotless, then alone could her face suffer the insult of being equalled.’ (d) It is the fourth kind of Hyperbole, when, for the purpose of indicating the powerful efficacy of the cause, the effect is described as appearing before its time.

Typical Comparison is that where a single common property stands twice, in two sentences. When the common property is mentioned, both in the sentence speaking of the ‘ object compared ’ and that speaking of the ‘ object compared to ’,—but in separate words,—since the repetition of the same words has been described as a defect,—is called, Typical Comparison, ‘ Prativastūpamā ’, so called because the position of the ‘ object compared to ’ (upamāna) is occupied by what is expressed by a sentence (vastu). Example.— ‘ Having once occupied the position of the Queen, how can she revert to the position of an attendant ? Verily, a

[The common property, ' impropriety ', is mentioned in both halves of the verse, but in different words.] In the following verse we have the ' Stringed Typical ' What is the wonder, if fire burns etc.' (See above, stanza No. 272). Similarly may other forms be illustrated. XIV.—Dṛṣṭānta—Exemplification. Exemplification is the reflectional representation of all these. The ' Dṛṣṭānta ' is so called because therein is perceived (' dṛṣṭa ') the ' definite recognition ' (' anta ') of ' all these '—i.e., of the Common Property (the object compared and the object compared to). Example.— ' As soon as you are seen, her heart, inflamed with love, becomes calmed ; it is only in the light of the moon that the flower of the Lily-plant blooms.' Here we have Exemplification per similarity. [ (a) The king, (b) the girl, (c) the heart, (d) the inflammation of love and (e) the becoming calm, being reflected respectively in, (a) the moon, (b) the lily plant, (c) the flower, (d) the withering caused by the sun's rays, and (e) the blooming].

XV—Dipaka—Illuminator. —(a) When the (common) property belonging to several objects—that to be described, as well as those not to be described,—occurs once,—and (b) when a single substantive occurs in connection with several verbs,—it is the Illuminator. 103. (a) When a ‘common property’,—in the shape of an action and so forth,—belonging to ‘several objects, that to be described, as well [as those not to be described’,—i.e., the object compared and the objects com- pared to,—is mentioned only once, it is Illuminator, ‘Dīpaka’; so-called because the term expressing the property, though occurring only once, ‘illumines’ the entire sentence.

(b) It is Illuminator also when a single substantive occurs in connection with several verbs.— Example :— 'The newly-wedded wife, when brought to the bed, perspires, shrinks, turns, moves away, closes her eyes, casts side-long glances, rejoices within herself, and longs to bestow a kiss. 103. It is the Stringed Illuminator where what precedes imparts excellence to what follows. If what follows is helped by what precedes it,—then we have the Stringed Illuminator. Example.— 'Saṅgrāmāṅgaṇamāgatena' etc.' (See above stanza No. 229.) II–7

The single mention of a property as belonging to a number of things of the same kind constitutes Equal Pairing 104. 'Things of the same kind'—(a) all being such as are meant to be described, (i.e. objects compared) or (b) all being such as are not meant to be described (i. e., objects compared to). Examples in order.— (a) 'Pāṇḍu kṣāmaṁ vadanaṁ etc.,' (see above, stanza No. 332.) [Here the property, being indicative of the disease, is common to several things, every one of which is meant to be described.] (b) 'In the presence of your eyes, lovely and elegant, what is the line of white, red and blue lotuses?—And the Nectar, the Moon and the Lotus have been subdued, at a single stroke, by your face'. [Here the properties are described as belonging to two sets of things. Both of those to which the eyes and the face are compared.] 104. XVII—Vyatireka—Dissimilitude. The dissimilitude of the other to the 'object compared to' constitutes the figure of the same name. 'Of the other'—i.e., of the object compared. 'Dissimilitude'—Superiority.

Here the ‘ superiority ’, belonging to ‘ youth ’ (which is the object compared), lies in its ephemeral character (in which point it is superior to the Moon, the object com- pared to). So that the assertion of some people that “ this verse depicts the ‘ superiority ” of the object compared to (the Moon) over the object compared (youth) ”, is not right. It is of twenty-four kinds :—(1) When the ground (of dissimilitude) is mentioned ; (2-4) the three cases where the said ground is not mentioned ;—each of these (four) has the similitude either expressed by word or expressed by meaning, or implied ;— and each of these (twelve) again occurs in a paronomatic word also. The ground of dissimilitude—i.e., the ground of the superiority of the object compared and the ground of the inferiority of the object compared to—when both these are mentioned [it is one kind of Dissimilitude] ;—where one or the other of these, or both, are not mentioned [we

Examples in order—(1-4) ‘ To this person, possessed of great dignity, pride did not come,—as it does to other inferior persons, —when he suppressed his enemies with the help of his sword only.’ The person described being ‘ possessed of great dignity’, and the other persons being ‘ inferior ’, are the grounds of Dissimilitude ;—and when either one of these is not mentioned, and when both of them are not mentioned, we have the other three varieties.—In this case, as the sentence contains the word ‘ iva ’, the comparison is ‘ directly expressed by words ’.

Here the comparison is 'expressed by the meaning', as it is expressed by the affix 'vati', which denotes simi- larity. (6) 'This beautiful-eyed woman subdues 'the spotted moon with her spotless face, which has subjugated the loveliness of the lotus'. In the absence of any such term as 'iva', 'tulya' and the like (which could express it), the comparison here is only 'implied'. (7) Jitendriyatayā samyagvidyāvṛddhaniṣeviṇaḥ Atigāḍhaguṇasyāsya nābjavad bhaṅgurā guṇāḥ. 'This man, possessed of unfathomable excellences and devoted to persons of sound learning, having sub- jugated his senses,—his guṇas (qualities) are not ephemeral like the guṇas (threads) of the lotus.' ` Here the affix 'vati' is synonymous with 'iva' and the term 'guṇa' contains a Pun.

400 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA अखण्डमण्डलः श्रीमान् पश्यैष पृथिवीपतिः । न निशाकरवज्जातु कलावैकल्यमागतः ॥४६७॥ अत्र तुल्यार्थे वतिः । कलाशब्दः श्लिष्टः । मालाप्रतिवस्तूपमावत् मालाव्यतिरेकोपि संभवति । तस्यापि भेदा एवमूह्याः । दिङ्मात्रमुदाह्रियते । यथा हरवन्न विषमदृष्टिर्हरिवन्न विभो विधूतविततवृषः । रविवन्न चातिदुःसहकरतापितभूः कदाचिदसि ॥४६८॥ अत्र तुल्यार्थे वतिः । विषमादयश्च शब्दाः श्लिष्टाः । (8) ‘ Akhaṇḍamaṇḍalaḥ shrīmān pashyaiṣa pṛthivīpatiḥ Na nishākaravajjātu kalāvaikalyamāgataḥ’. ‘Lo, this blessed Lord of the Earth, with an unbroken stretch of empire, has never been deprived of his splendour, as the full Moon is of its digits.’ Here the affix ‘vati’ is used in the sense of ‘iva’, and there is a pun upon the term ‘kalā.’ Just as we have the ‘Stringed Typical Comparison’, so it is possible to have the ‘Stringed Dissimilitude’ also ; of which also we may deduce the number of varieties (as in the case of simple Dissimilitude). Of these we are exemplifying only a few. ‘ Haravanna viṣamadṛṣṭiḥ harivanna vibho vidhūtavitatavṛṣaḥ Ravivanna chātiduḥsahakaratāpitabhūḥ kadāchidasi’. ‘You, O Lord, are never viṣamadṛṣṭi, partial,—as Hara is viṣamadṛṣṭi, possessed of three eyes; you are never vidhūtavitatavṛṣa, one who has shaken off the all-impor- tant Dharma,—as Hari is vidhūtavitatavṛṣa, one who has destroyed the huge demon Vṛṣāsura; you are never atiduḥsahakaratāpitabhūḥ, one who has oppressed the world with very unbearable taxes,—as the Sun is atiduḥsaha-

CHAPTER X 401 नित्योदितप्रतापेन त्रियामामीलितप्रभः । भास्वतानेन भूपेन भास्वानेष विनिर्जितः ॥४६९॥ अत्र ह्याक्षिप्तैवोपमा भास्वतेतिश्लिष्टः । यथा वा स्वच्छात्मतागुणसमुल्लसितेन्दुबिम्बं बिम्बप्रभाधरमकृत्रिमहृद्यगन्धम् । यूनामतीव पिबतां रजनीषु यत्र तृष्णां जहार मधु नाननमङ्गनानाम् ॥४७०॥ karatāpitabhūḥ, one who has heated the Earth with his extremely unbearable rays’. Here the affix ‘vati’ is throughout used in the sense of ‘iva’ and there are Puns upon the terms ‘viṣama’ and the rest. ‘Nityoditapratāpena triyāmāmīlitaprabhaḥ Bhāsvatānena bhūpena bhāsvāneṣa vinirjitaḥ’. ‘The Bhāsvān, Sun, who has his glory suppressed at night, has been subdued by the bhāsvān, resplendent, King whose glory is ever manifest’. Here the comparison is ‘implied’, and there is Pun upon the term ‘bhāsvān’. Another example of the same kind— ‘Svachchhātmatāguṇasamullasitendubimbaṁ Bimbaprabhādharamakṛtrimahṛdyagandham Yūnāmatīva pibatāṁ rajanīṣu yatra Tṛṣṇāṁ jahāra madhu nānanamaṅganānām’. ‘During the nocturnal drinking bouts, though the wine allayed the desire of the young men for drinking, yet women’s faces did not allay their desire for kissing;— the wine (a) reflecting the bright disc of the Moon, (b) bearing the likeness of the red Bimba fruit, and (c) possessed of natural

In the absence of any such terms as 'iva' 'tulya' and the like, the comparison is found to be 'implied' by the epithets with double meanings. In this manner, other varieties are also possible, even in the absence of any separate mention of words capable of being used with double meanings. These also may be illustrated in the same manner as above. XVIII.—Ākṣepa—Hint. When something desired to be said is, as if, suppressed, for the purpose of conveying a special idea, it is Hint; and it is of two kinds, as having its subject, either (a) about to be mentioned, or (b) already mentioned. When something is desired to be said, and is such that cannot be entirely ignored,—and the speaker, anxious to convey (or emphasise) the idea, either (a) of its being something, that cannot be spoken of, or (b) of its being something too well known (to be spoken of),—
