172 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA
अत्र दिनमिति प्रकाशमयमित्यर्थेऽवाचकम् ।
यच्चोपसर्गसंसर्गादर्थान्तरगतम्
यथा
जङ्घाकाण्डोरुनालो नखकिरणलसत्केसरालीकरालः
प्रत्यग्रालक्तकाभाप्रसरकिसलयो मञ्जुमञ्जीरभृङ्गः ।
भर्तुर्नृत्तानुकारे जयति निजतनूस्वच्छलावण्यवापी-
संभूताम्भोजशोभां विदधदभिनवो दण्डपादो भवान्याः ॥१५०॥
अत्र दधदित्यर्थे विदधदिति ।।
Here the word ‘ dinam ’ is not quite expressive of
brightness [in the same manner as ‘ tāmasī ’ is of darkness.]
Another example of this same defect we have in a case
where (though the verbal root is quite expressive of the
intended meaning), the meaning becomes changed by
the particular prefix added to it ; as in the following—
‘ Jaṅghā..................
......vidadhadabhinavo...bhavānyāḥ ’
‘ Glorious is the Daṇḍapāda attitude struck up by
Bhavānī when imitating her husband’s dance,—the attitude
(of the legs) which bears the splendour of the lotus grown
in the tank of the exquisite charm of her body, having the
thighs for its stalk, the lustrous nails for its filaments, the
bright red paints on the feet for its petals, and the jingling
anklets for the bees hovering round it.’
Here the word ‘ vidadhat ’ has been used in the sense
of ‘ dadhat,’ ‘ bears.’
[The form ‘ dadhat ’ without the prefix ‘ means ‘ bearing’; with
the said prefix, it means ‘ ordaining,’ ‘ encompassing ’ and so forth.]
