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

FIRST PARICCHEDA 49
आपाण्डुगण्डमेतत्ते वदनं वनजेक्षणे ।
संगमात्पाण्डुशब्दस्य गण्डः साधु यथोदितम् ॥ ५६ ॥
56. O lotus-eyed damsel, this thy face is pos-
sessed of cheeks slightly white. It has been said
that Gaṇḍa (cheeks) is good through its relation to
the word Pāṇḍu (white).
56. गण्ड (cheeks) is a word considered unpar-
liamentary in poetry. But when it is prefixed with
पाण्डु the expression ceases to be objectionable.
अन्यान्यदपि ज्ञेयं दिशा युक्तमसाध्वपि ।
यथा विक्ल्निन्नगण्डानां करिणां मदवारिभिः ॥ ५७ ॥
मदक्लिन्नकपोलानां द्विरदानां चतुःशती ।
यथा तद्वदसाधीयः साधीयश्च प्रयोजयेत् ॥ ५८ ॥
57. In this manner any other word too though
faulty, will appear good. Example :—मदवारिभिः विक्ल्निन्न-
गण्डानां करिणां Of elephants possessed of cheeks wet
with streams of ichor.
58. A further example :—मदक्लिन्नकपोलानां द्विरदानां
चतुःशती Four hundreds of elephants with temples
drenched in ichor. Accordingly one should employ
good words or even bad ones thus made good.
57 & 58. अनया दिशा अन्यदपि असाध्वपि. This refers
to the 2nd exception to the defect of expressions.
