108 BHĀMAHĀLAṄKĀRA
71. Substantiation of a special or general state-
ment by means of a general or special statement
connected therewith is Arthāntaranyāsa. अर्थान्तरन्यास
lit., the employment of a different idea is so called
because a connected अर्थान्तर is resorted to for sub-
stantiating an idea which is the subject of the con-
text. The example cited in Chandrāloka for this
figure of speech is हनूमानब्धिमतरद्दुष्करं किं महात्मनाम्. Verse
cited by Namisādhu on Rudraṭa's Kāvyālaṁkara
VIII—24.
परानीकानि भीमानि विविक्षोर्न तव व्यथा ।
साधु वाऽसाधु वाऽऽगामि पुंसामात्मैव शंसति ॥ ७२ ॥
72. You do not shudder as you are about to
enter into the terrific hosts of enemies. Good or
bad that is to come, one's own mind betrays.
72. This verse is an example of Arthāntara-
nyāsa. The absence of fear on the part of the king
while entering into his enemies' troops is justified
by the statement that mind is an index of the com-
ing good or evil.
हिशब्देनापि हेत्वर्थप्रथनादुक्तसिद्धये ।
अयमर्थान्तरन्यासः सुतरां व्यज्यते यथा ॥ ७३ ॥
73. If the word 'because' is used this Arthān-
taranyāsa becomes clearly apparent since the rea-
son substantiating a previous statement is fully
brought out. Example follows.
