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.

हृदयमधिष्ठितमादौ मालत्याः कुसुमचापबाणेन । चरमं रमणीवल्लभ लोचनविषयं त्वया भजता ॥४५२॥ प्रतिवस्तूपमा तु सा ॥ १०१ ॥ सामान्यस्य द्विरेकस्य यत्र वाक्यद्वये स्थितिः । साधारणो धर्मः उपमेयवाक्ये उपमानवाक्ये च कथित- पदस्य दुष्टतयाभिहितत्वात् शब्दभेदेन यत् उपादीयते सा वस्तुनो वाक्यार्थस्योपमानत्वात् प्रतिवस्तूपमा । यथा देवीभावं गमिता परिवारपदं कथं भजत्वेषा । न खलु परिभोगयोग्यं दैवतरूपाङ्कितं रत्नम् ॥४५३॥ Example— ‘ Mālātī’s heart was occupied by the arrow of the Love- god; and it was only after that that you, O loved of women, coming within the range of her vision (occupied it).’ [The idea here expressed is that ‘ so powerful was the effect produced by her seeing you that she fell in love before she actually saw you.’] VIII—Prativastūpamā—Typical Comparison. 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.

CHAPTER X 395 किवणाणं धणं णागाणं फणमणी केशराइँ सीहाणं । कुलबालिआणं थणआ कुत्तो छिप्पन्ति अमुआणं ॥४५७॥ कारकस्य च बह्वीषु क्रियासु सकृद्वृत्तिर्दीपकम् । यथा स्विद्यति कूणति वेल्लति विचलति निमिषति विलोकयति तिर्यक् । अन्तर्नन्दति चुम्बितुमिच्छति नवपरिणया वधूः शयने॥४५८॥१०३ मालादीपकमाद्यं चेद्यथोत्तरगुणावहम् । पूर्वेण पूर्वेण वस्तुना उत्तरमुत्तरं चेदुपक्रियते तत् मालादीपकम् । यथा संग्रामाङ्गणमागतेन भवता चापे समारोपिते देवाकर्णय येन येन सहसा यद्यत्समासादितम् । कोदण्डेन शराः शरैररिशिरस्तनापि भूमण्डलं तेन त्वं भवता च कीर्तिरतुला कीर्त्या च लोकत्रयम् ॥४५९॥ Example :— 'The wealth of misers, the head-jewel of serpents, the mane of lions, and the breasts of girls belonging to noble families,—how can these be touched until they are dead ?' (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 ’.

CHAPTER X 399 अत्र तुल्यार्थे वतिरित्यार्थमौपम्यम् । इयं सुनयना दासीकृततामरसश्रिया । आननेनाकलङ्केन जयतीन्दुं कलङ्किनम् ॥४६५॥ अत्रेवादितुल्यादिपदविरहेण आक्षिप्तैवोपमा । जितेन्द्रियतया सम्यग्विद्यावृद्धनिषेविणः । अतिगाढगुणस्यास्य नाब्जवद्भङ्गुरा गुणाः ॥४६६॥ अत्रेवार्थे वतिः । गुणशब्दः श्लिष्टः । शाब्दमौपम्यम् ॥ (5) 'This person, possessed of great dignity, did not become proud,—anyatuchchhajanavat, like other inferior persons,—when suppressed his enemies with the help of his sword only.' 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.

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-

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),—

Exampls in order :— (a) ‘O ! come, I shall tell you, O cruel one ! some- thing about a certain person ;—or no ; I shall not say it ;— when she has taken an inconsiderate step, let her die !’ [What is ‘desired to be said’ here is the extreme pang of separa- tion being borne by the girl ; and in order to convey the idea that it is something indescribable, the speaker suppresses it ; and the subject is not mentioned, it is only about to be mentioned.] (b) ‘Moon-light, pearl-necklace, sandal-juice, the fluid flowing from the lunar gem, camphor, plantain- roots, bracelets of lotus-stalks and lotus-leaves—all these act like sparks of fire upon her, on account—Ah !— of yourself, who have taken possession of her heart ;— Woe to me !—what is the use of saying it ?—I shall not say it.’ [Here what is desired to be described is the love-pang of the girl under separation ; and in order to convey the idea of its being too well-known, the speaker suppresses it,—but only after the sub- ject has been already mentioned.]

Peculiar Causation consists in the mention of the effect, even though there is denial of the cause. 106–107. When, even though the cause, in the shape of a particular action, is denied, the appearance of the effect of that cause is described, it is Peculiar Causation. Example.— ‘Even though unstruck by the blossoming creeper she felt pain ; even though not stung by the black bees, she turned aside ; even though not shaken by the lotus- leaves, she swerved round [all this by reason of her love- pangs.]’ 10–107. XX.—Viśeṣokti—Peculiar Allegation. Peculiar Allegation consists in the omission to affirm the effects, even when its causes are present in full force. When, even in the combined presence of all its causes, the effect is not affirmed, it is Peculiar Allegation. It is of three kinds—(a) having the reason (of the non- appearance of the effect) not mentioned, (b) having the reason mentioned and (c) having the reason such as is inconceivable.

The Symmetrical consists in the orderly connection among things mentioned in a definite order. 108.

XXII—Arthāntaranyāsa—Transition. Where either a Universal or a Particular is supported by its converse,—either through similitude or otherwise,—it is Transition. 109. When, either through similitude, or dissimilitude,—a Universal is supported by a Particular, or a Particular is supported by a Universal,—it is Transition. Examples in order— (a) ‘To persons whose minds are enveloped in their own defects, even the most beautiful thing appears to

[Here a particular statement is supported through similarity by a Universal one.] (c) ‘It is on account of the evil nature of good qua- lities that the capable person is employed in a difficult task ; the worthless bull whose shoulder is not hardened by work sleeps comfortably.’ [Here a universal case is supported by a particular one, but through similarity.] (d) ‘Oh, much harm has been done by my life that I have had to say such a disagreeable thing ! Blessed are those that have died without witnessing the calamity of their friends.’ [Here the particular is supported by the universal, through dissi- milarity.] 109. XXIII—Virodha—Contradiction When something is spoken of as contradictory, even when there is no contradiction,—it is the Figure Contradiction.

408 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA वस्तुवृत्तेनाविरोधेपि विरुद्धयोरिव यदभिधानं स विरोधः । जातिश्चतुर्भिरित्याद्यैर्विरुद्धा स्याद्गुणस्त्रिभिः ॥ ११० ॥ क्रिया द्वाभ्यामपि द्रव्यं द्रव्येणैवेति ते दश । क्रमेणोदाहरणम्— अभिनवनलिनीकिसलयमृणालवलयादि दवदहनराशिः । सुभग कुरङ्गदृशोस्या विधिवशतस्त्वद्वियोगपविपाते ॥४८२॥ गिरयोप्यनुन्नतिजुजो मरुदप्यचलोब्धयोप्यगम्भीराः । विश्वंभराप्यतिलघुर्नरनाथ तवान्तिके नियतम् ॥४८३॥ येषां कण्ठपरिग्रहप्रणयितां संप्राप्य धाराधरस् तीक्ष्णः सोप्यनुरज्यते च कमपि स्नेहं पराप्नोति च । When, as a matter of fact, there is no real contra- diction between two things,—and they are spoken of as if they were contradictory,—it is the Figure Contradiction. (1—4) The Universal contradicted by the four, (1) Universal [(2) Quality, (3) Action and (4) Substance], —(5—7) the Quality contradicted by three [i.e. Quality, Action and Sub- stance], —(8—9) Action contradicted by two [i. e. Action and Substance] —and (10) Substance contradicted by Substance;— thus this Figure is of ten kinds. Examples in order—(1) [Community contradicted by Community.] 'O handsome one ! at the sudden thunderfall of your separation, fresh lotus leaves, bracelets of lotus—stalk and such other things appear to the fawn-eyed one, like heaps of flaming fuel.' (2) [Community contradicted by Quality]— 'O King ! in your presence Mountains become devoid of height, Winds become motionless, the Ocean, devoid of depth, and the Earth, extremely light.'
