THIRD PARICCHEDA 143
ment of the real fact it is called Apahnuti (conceal-
ment). Example follows.
21. अपह्नुति lit., concealment. The two elements
of this figure of speech are an under-current of
Upamā and a suppression of the real character of the
Upameya. The first half of this verse and the whole
of the next verse are cited in Lochana (Page 38) to
show that in a case covered by अपह्नुति the suggestion
of उपमा is eclipsed in beauty by अपह्नुति as a result of
which it will not be treated as Dhvani. Udbhaṭa
has the same definition of Apahnuti with the last
foot modified as निबन्धः क्रियते बुधैः.
नेयं विरौति भृङ्गाली मदेन मुखरा मुहुः ।
अयमाकृष्यमाणस्य कन्दर्पधनुषो ध्वनिः ॥ २२ ॥
22. This is not a row of bees often humming
noisy with intoxication. It is the twang of Cupid's
bow being drawn.
22. Here the real character of the hum of
bees is suppressed and the character of the twang
of Cupid's bow is superimposed thereon. Verse cited
in Lochana page 38; also in Hemachandra's Kāvyā-
nuśāsana, page 28.
