SECOND PARICCHEDA 95
53. This verse illustrates both लिङ्गभेद and वचनभेद.
A king who is unfathomable even to his devoted la-
dies is compared to a river flowing through rugged
rocks which is not fordable. त्वं The king, the Upa-
meya, is masculine. आपगा (river) is feminine. So
this illustrates लिङ्गभेद. Similarly नारीणां is in the
plural whereas उत्तितीर्षतः is in the singular. So there
is वचनभेद. But if उत्तितीर्षतः is substituted by उत्तितीर्षतां,
वचनभेद will be obviated. But then लिङ्गभेद will continue.

like a herd of deer by a dog, yourself sometimes
marching ahead and sometimes turning round and
attacking precipitately.
