हास्यादीनां क्रमेणोदाहरणम्—
आकुञ्च्य पाणिमशुचिं मम मूर्ध्नि वेश्या
मन्त्राम्भसां प्रतिपदं पृषतैः पवित्रे ।
तारस्वनं प्रथितथूत्कमदात्प्रहारं
हाहा हतोहमिति रोदिति विष्णुशर्मा ॥ ३७ ॥
हा मातस्त्वरितासि कुत्र किमिदं हा देवताः क्वाशिषः
धिक् प्राणान् पतितोशनिर्हुतवहस्तेऽङ्गेषु दग्धे दृशौ ।
इत्थं घर्घरमध्यरुद्धकरुणाः पौराङ्गनानां गिर-
श्चित्रस्थानपि रोदयन्ति शतधा कुर्वन्ति भित्तीरपि ॥३८॥
soon as I think of representing myself as fallen upon thy
feet, my vision becomes blurred by the frequent outburst
of tears ; cruel Fate brooks not our union even in the
picture !’
[This is cited as an instance of ‘ privation due to curse’, as it
describes a lover who was separated from his lady by reason of a curse
of banishment pronounced upon him by his master.]
The following are examples, in due order, of the
Comic and other passions :—
(1) “ Clenching her dirty hands, the harlot struck
with a loud thumping sound upon my head, sanctified
with drops of water consecrated with incantations ;
—Ah ! I am damned !”—so cries Viṣṇu Śarman.”
—(The Comic).
(2) “ O mother, whereto hast thou hastened away ?
What is this ? O Gods, where be the blessings ? Fie
on our lives ! Thunderous fire has fallen on thy limbs !
Eyes scorched !”—These loud and pathetic lamentations
of the female citizens make even statues weep and shatter
even walls into hundreds of pieces’.—(The Pathetic).
