अत्र वस्तुना मयीवान्यस्यामपि प्रथममनुरक्तस्त्वं न तत इति
णवेत्यादि-पओसेत्यादिपदद्योत्यं वस्तु व्यज्यते ॥
सहि णवणिहुवणसमरम्मि अंकवालीसहीए णिबिडाए ।
हारो णिवारिओ विअ उच्छेरन्तो तदो कहं रमिअं ॥८९॥ (१५)
अत्र वस्तुना हारच्छेदानन्तरमन्यदेव रतमवश्यमभूत्
तत्कथय कीदृगिति व्यतिरेकः कहंपदगम्यः ॥
‘O beautiful one, tell me truly how you are related
to the moon newly risen on the fullmoon night, and who
is the lady that enjoys your love as the early evening does
that of the moon.’
[During the early part of the evening the full moon appears
‘red’; this redness, is regarded figuratively, as representing the moon’s
love towards the evening; it is fleeting, disappearing with the advent
of night ; and the indignant wife insinuates that her husband’s love
for his new found lady will be as fleeting.]
The fact (described in the verse) suggests the fact
that ‘you are attached to this other lady only now in the
beginning, and you will not remain so much longer, just
as it was in my case,’—this suggestion being based upon
the terms ‘newly risen’, ‘early evening.’
(15) [Suggestion of perceptible process—of Figure by
fact asserted by the fanciful assertion of an imaginary person.]—
‘O friend’! When in the battle of dalliance, your
necklace snapped, on being restrained (from intruding)
by your fast friend in the shape of the lover’s embrace,—
in what manner did your enjoyment proceed?’
The figure of ‘Dissimilitude’, indicated by the term
‘in what manner’, and implying that ‘after the snapping
of the necklace, the form of the enjoyment must have
been peculiarly sweet’,—is suggested by the fact (des-
cribed in the verse).
