CHAPTER VII 179
स्रस्तां नितम्बादवरोपयन्ती पुनः पुनः केसरदामकाञ्चीम् ॥
न्यासीकृतां स्थानविदा स्मरेण द्वितीयमौर्वीमिव कार्मुकस्य ॥१६०॥
अत्र द्वितीयत्वमात्रमुत्प्रेक्ष्यम् । मौर्वीं द्वितीयामिति युक्तः पाठः ।
यथा वा
वपुर्विरूपाक्षमलक्ष्यजन्मता दिगम्बरत्वेन निवेदितं वसु ।
वरेषु यद्बालमृगाक्षि मृग्यते तदस्ति किं व्यस्तमपि त्रिलोचने॥१६१॥
अत्र ‘अलक्षिता जनिः’ इति वाच्यम् । यथा वा
Another example of the same we have in the follow-
ing :—
‘Srastaṁ.........dvitīyamaurvīmiva.....................’
‘She again and again tucked up the girdle of Bakula-
flowers which slid down from her waist,—the girdle that
resembled the second bow-string kept in her charge by the
Love-God who knows the proper place to deposit things’.
What is meant to be emphasised here is the fact of the
girdle being the second ;
[As it is only when it is the second, that there can be any
possibility of its being deposited ; —and this fact of its being the second
is subordinated in the compound, where ‘dvitīya’, ‘second,’ appears
only as a subordinate factor.]
The right reading, therefore, would be ‘maurvīṁ
dvitīyāmiva’ [where ‘dvitīyām’ standing by itself, the fact of
being ‘second’ becomes duly emphasised].
Another example of the same defect :—
‘Vapurvirūpākṣamalakṣyajanmatā....................
.............................................................. trilocane.
‘His body contains disfigured eyes, he is of unknown
birth, and his wealth is indicated by his having no dress;
O thou fawn-eyed one, is there in Shiva, even singly any
of those qualities that one seeks for in a bridegroom ?’
