190 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA
अत्र गल्लादयः शब्दाः ग्राम्याः ॥
वस्त्रवैदूर्यचरणैः क्षतसत्त्वरजःपरा ।
निष्कम्पा रचिता नेत्रयुद्धं वेदय सांप्रतम् ॥१८४॥
अत्राम्बररत्नपादैः क्षततमा अचला भूः कृता नेत्रद्वन्द्वं बोधयेति
नेयार्थता ॥
The words ‘galla’ (and ‘bhalla’) are ‘vulgar’.
(10) [‘Whose meaning is to be guessed’]
‘Vastravaiḍūryacharaṇaiḥ
Kṣatasattvarajaḥparāḥ
Niṣkampā rachitā netra—
Yuddhaṁ vedaya sāmpratam’.
‘This unshaking thing (i. e. the earth) has its third besides
Harmony and Energy (i. e. Darkness) dispelled by the feet
(i. e. rays) of the emerald (i. e. gem) of the vastra (i. e.
‘ambara’, viz : sky) [i. e. the sun] ; so open now the
battle (i. e. pair) of your eyes’.
The meaning intended to be conveyed here is that
‘the sun having dispelled darkness from the earth, the
eyes should be opened’; and this can only be guessed
out of the words used.
[(a) ‘Vastra’ has another synonym in ‘ambara’, which means the
sky,—‘vaidūrya’ denotes the emerald, which is one kind of gem,—
‘charaṇa’ is synonymous with ‘pada’, which also means ‘rays’,—
hence the compound ‘vastravaiḍūryacharaṇa’ the rays of the gem of
the sky i.e. the sun;—‘Sattva’, Rajas and Tamas are the three cosmic
attributes,—so that the third besides Rajas and Sattva is Tamas, which
denotes darkness,—so that the compound ‘kṣatasattvarajaḥparāḥ’
means ‘whose darkness has been dispelled;’—‘niṣkampā’ meaning
unshaking, is used for the immovable Earth ;—‘yuddha’ is synony-
mous with ‘dvandva’, which also means ‘pair’,—hence the compound
‘netrayuddham’ means ‘pair of eyes’.]
