40 BHĀMAHĀLAṄKĀRA
contributed to the weal of the people. Or generally
Vishṇu's elusive role contributes to the people's
good.
क्लिष्टं अन्यार्थं च दोषौ (2 & 3)
क्लिष्टं व्यवहितं विद्यादन्यार्थं विगमे यथा ।
विजहुस्तस्य ताः शोकं क्रीडायां विकृतं च तत् ॥ ४० ॥
40. Klishṭa (strained) is what is intercepted
or remote. Anyārtha occurs where the intended
meaning appears by the omission of a part of an
expression. Example—Those ladies dispelled (sport-
ed) his grief by sports, and this was done by the
preposition Vi.
40. क्लिष्टं is defined as व्यवहितं Remote or obstruct-
ed. The author gives no example. Vāmana gives
an example of क्लिष्ट thus :—दक्षात्मजादयितवल्लभवेदिकानाम् mean-
ing चन्द्रकान्तवेदिकानाम्. But this will come under अवाचक
according to Bhāmaha. This verse also gives the
definition and illustration of the next Dosha—An-
yārtha. This Dosha arises where in order to make
sense some portion of the speech has to be dropped.
विगमः Dropping (of a part of an expression) e.g., ताः
तस्य शोकं क्रीडायां विजहुः. विजहुः would mean sported, which
does not fit in with the context. If you drop the
preposition वि, जहुः yields an agreeable meaning.
