CHAPTER IV 55
कृत्रिमैरपि तथानभिमन्यमानैर्विभावादिशब्दव्यपदेश्यैः ‘संयोगात्,
गम्यगमकभावरूपात् अनुमीयमानोपि वस्तुसौन्दर्यबलाद्र-
सनीयत्वेनान्यानुमीयमानविलक्षणः स्थायित्वेन संभाव्यमानो
रत्यादिर्भावस्तत्रासन्नपि सामाजिकानां वासनया चर्व्यमाणो
रस इति श्रीशङ्कुकः ।
through instruction and practice, and pondering over such
poetry as the following—
‘ That lady, the mistress of my life, a splash of nectar
to my body, unguent of camphor to my eyes, the very
embodiment of the glorious longings of my heart, glided
within the range of my vision ’;—
‘ Unfortunately I have to-day been separated from her,
with eyes large and unsteady ; and that season has arrived
wherein clouds are constantly flitting about ’;
Though all these causes, effects and auxiliaries are
only artificially assumed, yet they are not regarded as such,
and hence they are spoken of as ‘ excitants,’ ‘ ensuants ’
and ‘ variants ’;—the ‘ saṁyoga ’, ‘ conjunction ’, of these
three,—i. e., through the relation of ‘ the indicative and
the indicated ’, subsisting between these three and the result-
ant feeling—leads to the inference of the ‘ latent emotion ’,
of Love e. g.;—though thus inferred, the emotion is by reason
of the peculiar charm, different from all other objects
of inference ; and hence it is recognised as something
subsisting latently ; and as, though thus inferred, this
emotion is recognised, through its peculiar charm, as some-
thing relished, and as such different from other ordinary
inferred things ; it is imagined to be subsisting latently in
the actor ; and even though not really present in him, it is
relished by the spectators through their predisposed
tendencies.
