(4) [Suggestion of perceptible process by a word—founded
on the power of words—of figure by fact]—
‘O King, thou awe-inspiring one (Bhīma) ! Thou
art resplendent, with thy bolt-like arm pleasing and terrible
through the sword reddened with the flow of blood, and
with thy broad forehead marked with creases caused by
the sudden curvature of the eye-brows.’
The similitude (Simile) of the awe-inspiring King
to Bhīmasena is suggested (by the fact of the King’s sword
being reddened with blood and so forth, and this is done
through the force of the single word ‘bhīma,’ the replacing
of which by its synonym would spoil the whole effect).
(5) [Suggestion of perceptible process—founded on the power
of a word—of fact by fact.]
‘To whom does Sadāgama, (a) true scripture, [(b) lover’s
visit] not bring continued bliss,—(a) always offering
salutary advice and leading to heavenly pleasure and beati-
tude [(b) always bent upon indicating secluded rendezvous,
and bringing about enjoyment and deliverance from the
pangs of separation] ?’”
The woman is conveying (her acquiescence) to the
lover suggesting a meeting-place, by means of suggestion.
[And this is done through the double meanings of the words
chosen; it is the suggestion of the fact of her acceptance by the fact
described.]
