काव्यालङ्कार (आचार्य भामह - भारतीय काव्यशास्त्र एवं अलङ्कार-सिद्धान्त मूल महाग्रन्थ सटीक)

THIRD PARICCHEDA 165
57. Let the host of princes witness your ene-
mies' cities with ramparts broken by your elephants
blinded by intoxication, with heroes slain, with
citizens fleeing in panic and with their beauty to-
tally extinguished (burnt) by your valour.
57. This is an illustration of आशीस् praying
for extinction of opposition—अविरोध. राजलोकः द्विषां पुरः
पश्यतु Let the host of kings behold your enemies' ci-
ties, ravaged, destroyed or demolished as set out in
the first three feet of the verse. मदान्धैः मातङ्गैः विभिन्नः
सालः यासां ताः The ramparts of their cities will be
broken down by your elephants mad with intoxica-
tion. हतप्रवीराः The warriors therein will be killed.
द्रुतभीतपौराः The panic-stricken citizens will flee the
city. त्वत्तेजसा दग्धसमस्तशोभाः The entire opulence and
splendour of the cities will melt away in your
valour. The twofold आशीरलंकार dealt with here does
not find a place in most other works of poetics
though Daṇḍin mentions it.
गिरामलंकारविधिः सविस्तरः
स्वयं विनिश्चित्य धिया मयोदितः ।
अनेन वागर्थविदामलंकृता
विभाति नारीव विदग्धमण्डना ॥ ५८ ॥
58. I have thus expounded the elaborate code
of the figures of speech by the exercise of my own
