CHAPTER, IV 107
अत्र किरतीति किरणस्य साध्यमानत्वं निवृत्तेति निवर्तनस्य
सिद्धत्वं तिङा सुपा च तत्रापि क्तप्रत्ययेनातीतत्वं द्योत्यते ।
यथा वा
लिखन्नास्ते भूमिं बहिरवनतः प्राणदयितो
निराहाराः सख्यः सततरुदितोच्छूननयनाः ।
परित्यक्तं सर्वं हसितपठितं पञ्जरशुकैः
तवावस्था चेयं विसृज कठिने मानमधुना ॥१००॥
‘On every way-side there is the sheen of sprouts re-
sembling the parrot’s beak ; on every side the breeze is
making the creepers dance ; on every male is the Flower-
bowed God showering his arrows ; and in every town
has ceased the very talk of self-restraint on the part of
affronted women.’
The present tense form ‘kirati,’ ‘is showering,’ indi-
cates, by the conjugational affix, that the act of showering
arrows is still only in the course of accomplishment, and
the past-participle form ‘vinivṛttā,’ ‘has ceased,’ indicates
by the nominative ending, that the action of ceasing has
become a thing accomplished already ; and further, the
past-participle affix ‘kta’ (in ‘vinivṛttā) indicates that
the action (of ceasing) is past.
[And the suggestion here is that the circumstances described are
so effective in exciting the Erotic Passion that they accomplish their
purpose even before they are themselves accomplished.]
Another example of the same—
Likhannāste bhūmim vahiravanataḥ prāṇadayito
Nirāhārāḥ sakhyaḥ satataruditochchhūnanayanāḥ.
Parityaktam sarvam hasitapaṭhitam pañjaraśukais-
Tavāvasthā cheyam visṛja kaṭhine mānamadhunā.
