CHAPTER VII 247
अत्र शस्त्रमोचने हेतुर्नोपात्तः ॥
(९) इदं ते केनोक्तं कथय कमलातङ्कवदने
यदेतस्मिन् हेम्नः कटकमिति धत्से खलु धियम् ।
इदं तद् दुःसाधाक्रमणपरमास्त्रं स्मृतिभुवा
तव प्रीत्या चक्रं करकमलमूले विनिहितम् ॥२६४॥
अत्र कामस्य चक्रं लोकेप्रसिद्धम् । यथा वा
(९ अ) उपपरिसरं गोदावर्याः परित्यजताध्वगाः
सरणिमपरो मार्गस्तावद्भवद्भिरिहेक्ष्यताम् ।
इह हि विहितो रक्ताशोकः कयापि हताशया
चरणनलिनन्यासोदञ्चन्नवाङ्कुरकञ्चुकः ॥२६५॥
अत्र पादाघातेनाशोकस्य पुष्पोद्गमः कविषु प्रसिद्धो न पुनरङ्कु-
रोद्गमः ।
This supplies no reason why the speaker is giving up
his weapon.
(9) [Example of what “is contrary to prevalent
notions”]—
‘ O thou, whose face abashes the lotus ! who has told
you this, by virtue of which thou entertainest the notion
that this thing is a bangle of gold ? In reality, it is the
disc of the Love-god placed, through his love for you,
on your wrist, as the weapon capable of striking the most
invulnerable of men !’
The idea of the Love-god holding a disc is ‘ contrary
to all prevalent notions ’ regarding him.
Another example—
‘ O travellers ! Give up this path that passes along
the Godāvarī, and look out for another path ; as on this
spot the red Aśoka tree has grown fresh sprouts through
the action of the lotus-feet of some mischievous woman ’.
