forests. Amara:—महारण्यमरण्यानी. How are they ? -
चीरीमती :Abounding in dry tree-barks. The use of चीर in
the feminine gender is based on the analogy of मृणाली
and justified on the principle—स्त्री स्यात्काचिन्मृणाल्यादिः विव-
क्षाऽपचये यदि. An object of any other gender may be
used in the feminine gender where meagreness of
the object concerned is sought to be conveyed. With
the advance of summer tree-barks get lighter. Or
चीरी is an insect. Vide Amara :—झङ्कारी चीरुका चीरी झिल्लिका
च समा इमाः. The second object is शुष्यदम्भसः सरितः Rivers-
with waters getting dry. The third object is प्रवासिनां
चेतांसि The hearts of travellers in distant countries.
The heart-break of separated lovers in exile is sug-
gested. From the foregoing illustrations it can be
gathered that in आदिदीपक the common predicate is
employed in the first foot of a verse, in मध्यदीपक in
the second or third foot and in अन्तदीपक in the last
foot.
