THIRD PARICCHEDA 153
41. The acquisition of something superior by
foregoing something else, coupled with Arthān-
taranyāsa amounts to Parivṛtti. Example follows.
41. परिवृत्ति defined. परिवृत्तिः means an exchange.
According to other Ālaṁkārikas an exchange may
be between equal objects or of an inferior object for
a superior object or of a superior object for an infe-
rior. Our author countenances only an exchange
where a superior object is got in return for an infe-
rior. Further such description of exchange must
always be supported by an अर्थान्तरन्यास or a general
statement in substantiation of a particular case.
But this requirement is dispensed with by others.
प्रदाय वित्तमर्थिभ्यः स यशोधनमादित ।
सतां विश्वजनीनानामिदमस्खलितं व्रतम् ॥ ४२ ॥
42. Giving material wealth to those that
sought, he received the wealth of fame. It is the
unswerving pledge of virtuous men bent on doing
good to all.
42. परिवृत्ति illustrated. The king in question
offers riches and in return gets eternal glory. The
second half of the verse sets out a general state-
ment in support of the exchange. विश्वस्मै जनाय हितः
=विश्वजनीनः.
