of Ākshepa relating to उक्तविषय. This is addressed to
a king. That you are not puffed up after subjugat-
ing the whole earth by your valour is strange. The
second half of the verse gives an effective check to
the strangeness alluded to. What causeway can
agitate the Ocean? The Ocean is possessed of गाम्भीर्य
par excellence, and nothing can shake its dignity or
cause frivolity. In the same way, ‘You, the king,
it is not strange, remain unshaken.’ Strangeness
is expressed in the first half of the verse and is im-
pliedly negatived in the second half. So this is an
example of Ākshepa of the उक्तविषय type.
