CHAPTER VII 227
अत्र 'अपराधस्य लवमपि' इति वाच्यम् ॥
(१४) अस्थानस्थपदं यथा
प्रियेण संग्रथ्य विपक्षसंनिधा-
वुपाहितां वक्षसि पीवरस्तने ।
स्रजं न काचिद्विजहौ जलाविलां
वसन्ति हि प्रेम्णि गुणा न वस्तुषु ॥२३६॥
अत्र 'काचिन्न विजहौ' इति वाच्यम् । यथा वा
'O proud one ! what trace of fault do you find in me,
which makes you abandon me, your servant ?—I, whose
love is centered in you, who always talk to you affec-
tionately and whose mind is ever averse to any breach
of endearment.'
Here also what is meant to be expressed is 'even the
slightest trace of a fault.'
(14) The following is an example of the 'Misplaced
Word'—
'Priyeṇa saṅgrathya vipakṣasannidhā-
Vupāhitāṁ vakṣasi pīvarastane
Srajaṁ na kāchid vijahau jalāvilāṁ
Vasanti hi premṇi guṇā na vastuṣu.'
'The lover had carefully knitted a garland and placed
it over her chest covered with her high breasts, in the
presence of her rivals ; and though this garland had
become sullied with water, yet not a certain girl did
remove it ; the value lies, not in the presented object,
but in the love that prompts it.'
What is intended to be expressed is that 'a certain
woman did not remove the garland ;' and to this end
the 'na' should have come before 'vijahau'.
