CHAPTER IV 89
शरीरो व्यञ्जकः । एवं द्वादश भेदाः ॥
शब्दार्थोभयभूरेकः
अतन्द्रचन्द्राभरणा समुद्दीपितमन्मथा ।
तारकातरला श्यामा सानन्दं न करोति कम् ॥ ७२ ॥
अत्रोपमा व्यङ्ग्या ॥
In these last four examples the suggestive factor is
based upon the assertion of an imaginary character delinea-
ted by the poet.
These are the twelve varieties (of Suggestion Based
upon the Force of Meaning).
That (suggestion) based upon both Word and Meaning is one
only.
For example—
‘ Atandrachandrābharaṇā samuddīpitamanmathā.
Tārakātaralā śyāmā sānandamna karoti kam’.
‘ Whom does the young woman not please—adorned
as she is, with a bright head-jewel, arousing love, and
with unsteady glances—being like the night adorned with
the bright moon, arousing thoughts of love, and glimmering
with stars ?’
Here the figure of ‘ Simile ’ is suggested.
[And all this is ‘suggested by the imaginary fact that the king
caught hold of the locks of one lady and the enemies were embraced
by other ladies.]
[And this suggestion is based upon the power of both word and
meaning ; the former, because the entire similitude rests upon the double
meanings of the words ‘śyāmā,’ ‘chandra’ and ‘tārākā,’ which cannot
be replaced by their synonyms without destroying the said effect ;
and the latter because the other words are such as can be easily replaced
by other synonyms without spoiling the effect.]
