108 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA
अत्र लिखन्निति न तु लिखतीति तथा आस्ते इति न तु
आसीत इति अपि तु प्रसादपर्यन्तमास्ते इति भूमिमिति न तु
भूमाविति न हि बुद्धिपूर्वकमपरं किंचिल्लिखतीति तिङ्सुब्बि-
भक्तीनां व्यङ्ग्यम् ।
सम्बन्धस्य यथा
गामारुहम्हि गामे वसामि णअरट्ठिइं ण जाणामि ।
णाअरिआणं पइणो हरेमि जा होमि सा होमि ॥१०१॥
‘ The beloved of thy life sits outside, depressed, scratch-
ing the ground ; thy friends with eyes swollen by constant
weeping, have been without food ; all amusing talk has
been given up by the parrots in the cages ; thy own con-
dition is this ; even now, O cruel one, give up thy sense
of dignity injured.’
Here we have (a) the form ‘likhan’ (‘scratching,’
the present participle in which suggests the continuity
of an aimless act) and not ‘likhati’ (‘writes,’ in the present
tense, which would indicate writing with a purpose) ;—
again (b) ‘āste’ (‘stays’) which suggests that the man
will continue to so stay till reconciliation, and not ‘āsīta’
(‘is seated,’ which would indicate an accomplished
act, without regard to anything else);—again (c) ‘bhūmim’
(with the Accusative ending), —which suggests that he
is scratching the ground aimlessly—and not ‘bhūmau’
(with the locative ending, which would indicate that the
act was done with some purpose.) Thus we have here
suggestion by verbal and nominal affixes.
Example of suggestion by relationship (denoted by
the genitive ending)—
I am born in the village and live in the village, and
know not the ways of the city ; whatever I am, I capture
the husbands of city-women.’
