CHAPTER VII 273
अधमप्रकृत्युक्तिषु ग्राम्यो गुणः । यथा
फुल्लुक्करं कलमकूरणिहं वहन्ति
जे सिन्धुवारविडवा मह वल्लहा दे ।
जे गालिदस्स महिसीदहिणो सरिच्छा
दे किं च मुद्धविअइल्लपसूणपुञ्जा ॥३०९॥
अत्र कलमभक्तमहिषीदधिशब्दा ग्राम्या अपि विदूषकोक्तौ ॥
न्यूनपदं क्वचिद्गुणः । यथा
गाढालिङ्गनवामनीकृतकुचप्रोद्भूतरोमोद्गमा

steady minds'.
‘Vulgarity’ is an excellence in the speeches of low-
born persons.
e.g.—
‘Phullukkuraṁ kalamakūraṇihaṁ vahanti
Je sindhubarabiḍavā mahaballahā de
Je gālīdassa mahiṣīdahiṇo sarichchhā
De kiṁ cha muddhaviaillapasūṇapuñjā’.
‘Those branches of the Sindhuvāra trees are dear to
me, which bear fruits like rice; as also are those masses
of Mallikā flowers which resemble the squeezed curdled
milk of a she-buffalo’.
In this the terms ‘kalama’, ‘bhakta’, ‘kūra’, ‘mahiṣī’
and ‘dadhi’, though vulgar, are not regarded as defective,
as they occur in the speech of the clown.
‘Verbal deficiency’ is in some cases an excellence, e.g.,
in the following :—
‘Gāḍhāliṅganavāmanīkṛtakuchaprodbhūtaromodgamā
Sāndrasneharasātirekavigalachchrīmannitambāmbarā
