CHAPTER VII 221
यथा वा
त्वमेवंसौन्दर्या स च रुचिरतायाः परिचितः
कलानां सीमानं परमिह युवामेव भजथः ।
अपि द्वन्द्वं दिष्ट्या तदिति सुभगे संवदति वाम्
अतः शेषं यत्स्याज्जितमिह तदानीं गुणितया ॥२२८॥
अत्र यदित्यत्र तदिति तदानीमित्यत्र यदेति वचनं नास्ति ।
genitive ending, which is the antecedent of the pronoun
‘yeṣām’), because, according to the dictum of Jaimini
(Mīmā. Sū. 3.1.22), when there are several subordinate
factors (in the present case, the pronouns ‘yeṣām’, in the
first line, ‘yaiḥ’ in the second line and ‘yeṣām’ in the
third line), they are all equally subservient to something
else, and as such cannot be mutually correlated. The
necessary co-ordination (and antecedent) would be got at,
if we read ‘kṣapāchāribhiḥ’, (with the instrumental ending,
in place of ‘kṣapāchāriṇām’.
Another example of the same defect we have in the
following—
‘Tvamevaṁ saundaryāḥ sa cha ruchiratāyāḥ parichitaḥ
Kalānāṁ sīmānaṁ paramiha yuvāmeva bhajathaḥ
Api dvandvaṁ diṣṭyā taditi subhage saṁvadati vām
Ataḥ śeṣaṁ yat syāj jitamiha tadānīṁ guṇitayā’.
‘You are endowed with such beauty, and he is not
unfamiliar with handsomeness; both of you possess the
highest proficiency in the finer arts; thus fortunately
the pair of you two is quite compatible; if the subsequent
issue were what it should be, then indeed would the en-
dowment of qualities become duly glorified.’
Here the relative pronoun ‘yat’ (in the fourth line)
requires a corresponding ‘tat’, and the term ‘tadānīm’
