226 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA
एषोहमद्रितनयामुखपद्मजन्मा
प्राप्तः सुरासुरमनोरथदूरवर्ती ।
स्वप्नेनिरुद्धघटनाधिगताभिरूप-
लक्ष्मीफलामसुरराजसुतां विधाय ॥२३४॥
अत्र मनोरथानामपि दूरवर्तीत्यप्यर्थो वाच्यः । यथा वा
त्वयि निबद्धरतेः प्रियवादिनः प्रणयभङ्गपराङ्मुखचेतसः ।
कमपराधलवं मम पश्यसि त्यजसि मानिनि दासजनं यतः ॥२३५॥
direct affirmation of his having ‘ become captivated ’,—
the right reading being ‘ apahṛtosmi ’ (for ‘ apahṛtasya ’);
specially as the use of the expression ‘ tathāpi ’ could be
justified only as occurring in a totally different sentence
[hence it is essential that there should be a finite verb in
the preceding sentence, without which there would not
be two distinct sentences.]
Another example of the same :—
‘ Eṣohamadritanayāmukhapadmajanmā
Prāptaḥ surāsuramanorathadūravartī
Svapneniruddhaghaṭanādhigatābhirūpa-
Lakṣmīphalāmasurarājasutāṁ vidhāya ’.
‘ I, born of the lotus-face of Pārvatī, who am beyond
the reach of the longings of gods and demons, have come
here, after having made the daughter of the demon-king
such as has her exquisite beauty rendered fruitful through
association, in a dream, with Aniruddha.’
[Here the sense intended to be conveyed is that ‘ I
am beyond even the longings of the gods and demons ;’
[and this idea the words used fail to convey ].
Similarly in the following verse also—
Tvayi nibaddharateḥ priyavādinaḥ
Praṇayabhaṅgaparāṅmukhacetasaḥ
Kamaparādhalavaṁ mama paśyasi
Tyajasi mānini dāsajanaṁ yataḥ.
