उत्तररामचरितम् (महाकवि भवभूति - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

—VI 1] UTTARARĀMACHARITA. 161 Act VI. The scene of this Act is laid in the vicinity of Vālmīki's hermitage The incidents narrated follow closely upon those described in the fifth Act. भरत lays down that a fight should not be represented on the stage and hence the audience is in- formed about the progress of the battle by the intervention of a dialogue between a pair of celestial beings. 'युद्धं राज्यभ्रंशो मरणं नगरोपरोधनं चैव प्रत्यक्षानि तु नाटके नोचितं संनिवेशानि।' नाट्यशास्त्र 18 19 P 122 विद्याधर a semi-divine being possessed of superhuman powers 'विद्याधरा जीमूतवाहनादयः षट्त्रिंशत्कलाविद्याधारिणः' क्षीरस्वामी उद्दीपित... (भरतसार) कण्ठ तेन प्रभास्वरो उद्दीपिता क्षात्रलक्ष्मीः ययोः or याभ्याम्—who have made the splendour of the might of the क्षत्रिय class to blaze forth i. e. who have displayed to the utmost a warlike spirit For क at the end of the compound, see notes P. 6. अवधूतेन उत्थाता दवाग्नयः येषु—at which even the gods and demons are flurried on account of their extreme wonderful nature. विरचितचरितानि heroic deeds Verse 1 The principal sentence is धनुः नियम्य शरान् किरतोः शूरयोः आपोधनं भुवनभीममभिवर्तते— the fight of the brave (boys) showering arrows after stretch- ing their bow rages (goes on) striking terror into the worlds. of शिञ्जार and व्योमहरत्न are adv. of धनु रणरणेन झणत्कारेण क्वणि- तानि संकिन्द्रा यस्य—the small bells of which are jingling and resounding with the twanging sound. If we read काञ्चीकिङ्कि- णीगुणशितम्—we shall have to dissolve as काञ्चीवत् वधूनां तरङ्गेण क्वणि- तानि मन्दक्वणितानि किङ्किण्यो यस्य—that has bells tuneful like the bracelets that jingle on (the wrists of ladies). ध्वनद्...गुण- यस्य सः ज्यागुणभर्गी (धनुषः कोटिः) तया सह करालः कोलाहलः यस्मिन्—in which there is a fierce noise made by the end of the bow that hurts its big string twanging. विचित्र of 'wonderful'. Some read अविरलगुरुघण्टो —whose locks are incessantly fluttering Verse 2 जृम्भते is the predicate of दुन्दुभिध्वनिः. जृम्भितम् has increased or ap- peared. दिशि पदोपरि for the manifold welfare of both (लव and चन्द्रकेतु). दुन्दुभिध्वनिः beating The reading of K. Gh and V. 'हितं भवं च दिव्यम्' is also good. In this case दिव्यम् is to be con- nected with दुन्दुभे. It is usual for poets to represent that the celestial drums are beaten when anything splendid or grand is done by anybody on the earth The text should read मन्द्र (deep, strong) with G It is difficult to explain what is meant by मन्द्रदुन्दुभि प्ररवान्—the subject is पृथवीतल. The student will notice that these two lines are full of alliteration and short
