44 BHĀMAHĀLAṄKĀRA
pierced the mountain and who is possessed of eyes
numbering not two (but twelve) slaughter your ene-
mies by means of his fiery white glances.
46. गूढशब्दाभिधान is illustrated by this verse.
असितर्ति etc. It would be difficult to construe this verse
without the clues given by Ratneśvara Sūri in his
commentary on Sarasvatī Kaṇṭhābharaṇa where it
is cited as an illustration. (1) असिता ऋतिः गतिः (ऋ
गताविति धातोः निष्पन्नः) यस्य सः असितर्तिः = कृष्णवर्त्मा One whose
path behind is black ; तस्य तुक् (तोकं) असितर्तितुक् The
child of fire; Lord Subrahmaṇya. Vide Amara :—
पार्वतीनन्दनः स्कन्दः सेनानीः अग्निभूर्गुहः. Vide Meghasandeśa :—
अत्यादित्यं हुतवहमुखे संभृतं तद्धि तेजः। I—43. (2) छिनत्तीति छित्. अद्रेः
छित् अद्रिच्छित्. The allusion is to the piercing of Mount
Krauñcha by the Lord. Vide Amara :—कुमारः क्रौञ्चदारणः.
(3) खः (स्वर्गे) क्षियन्ति (निवसन्ति) इति खःक्षितः तेषां खःक्षितां पतिः
The lord of the residents of heaven, for he is the
commander of the divine troops. (4) अद्विदृक् One pos-
sessed of more than two eyes. Subrahmaṇya has
six faces and therefore twelve eyes. न मिन्दतीति अमिद्
derived from मिदि स्नेहने. अमिद्भिः अस्निग्धैः or रूक्षैः Fierce, ad-
jectival to शुभ्रदृग्दृष्टैः शुभ्राणां दृशां दृष्टैः By his glances ema-
nating from white eyes When one looks in anger
the pupils will go up leaving the remaining ex-
panse of eyes white. वः द्विषः Accusative. जेघ्नीयिषीष्ट
Benedictive 3rd person singular of the frequenta-
tive of हन्.
