काव्यालङ्कार (आचार्य भामह - भारतीय काव्यशास्त्र एवं अलङ्कार-सिद्धान्त मूल महाग्रन्थ सटीक)

94 BHĀMAHĀLAṄKĀRA
'51. The first half of the verse illustrates an
Upamā which appears to be vitiated by असंभव but
not really so, and the second illustrates उत्प्रेक्षा of that
sort. An elephant is likened to darkness concen-
trated. A tank with its waters rendered limpid by
autumn is conceived of as a fragment of the sky
fallen on the ground. These two statements are
quite approved of as good poetry.
लिङ्गभेद-वचनभेद-विपर्ययाः। (iii, iv & v)
अथ लिङ्गवचोभेदावुच्येते सविपर्ययौ ।
हीनाधिकत्वात्स द्वेधा त्रयमप्युच्यते यथा ॥ ५२ ॥
52. Now we deal with the differences in gender
and number and also with Viparyaya. The last one
is twofold—Hīna and Adhika—too low or too big.
All the three are illustrated hereunder.
52. The author proposes to deal with three
faults—लिङ्गभेद, वचनभेद and विपर्यय. The last one is of
two kinds—हीन and अधिक.
लिङ्गभेद-वचनभेदोदाहरणम्।
अविगाह्योऽसि नारीणामनन्यमनसामपि ।
विषमोपलभिन्नोर्मिरापगेवोत्तितीर्षतः ॥ ५३ ॥
53. You are impenetrable even to ladies ex-
clusively devoted to you like a river with waves
split by rugged stones to one desirous to cross.
