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

50 BHĀMAHĀLAṄKĀRA
58 illustrate defective expressions rendered good by
आश्रयसौन्दर्य. क्लिन्न and गण्ड are generally considered sepa-
rately words unfit for poetry. But these two defec-
tive expressions used together attain fitness by rea-
son of two elegant factors viz., elephants and ichor
of which they are attributes. The objection to क्लिन्न
seems to arise from the suggestion of रक्तक्लिन्न or रेतः-
क्लिन्न. But when मदक्लिन्न is expressed क्लिन्न loses its ob-
jectionable character.
एतद्ग्राह्यं सुरभि कुसुमं ग्राम्यमेतन्निधेयं
धत्ते शोभां विरचितमिदं स्थानमस्यैतदस्य ।
मालाकारो रचयति यथा साधु विज्ञाय मालां
योज्यं काव्येष्ववहितधिया तद्वदेवाभिधानम् ॥५९॥
॥ इति भामहालंकारे प्रथमः परिच्छेदः ॥
59. Just as a garland-maker strings a garland
after knowing pretty well, 'This fragrant flower is
to be included, that one the vulgar is to be passed
over, this one when strung will shine to advantage,
this the proper place for this, the other one for that,'
—just as he strings it, so should one employ expres-
sions in poetry after a careful consideration.
59. This verse enjoins that great care should
be taken by poets in the choice of words and their
employment in proper places. अभिधानं A statement
or composition.
