CHAPTER VIII 301
उपकुर्वन्ति तं सन्तं येऽङ्गद्वारेण जातुचित् ।
हारादिवदलंकारास्तेऽनुप्रासोपमादयः ॥ ६७ ॥
ये वाचकवाच्यलक्षणाङ्गातिशयमुखेन मुख्यं रसं संभविन-
मुपकुर्वन्ति ते कण्ठाद्यङ्गानामुत्कर्षाधानद्वारेण शरीरिणोपि
उपकारका हारादय इवालंकाराः । यत्र तु नास्ति रसस्तत्रोक्ति-
वैचित्र्यमात्रपर्यवसायिनः । क्वचित्तु सन्तमपि नोपकुर्वन्ति ।
यथाक्रममुदाहरणानि--
अपसारय घनसारं कुरु हारं दूर एव किं कमलैः ।
अलमलमालि मृणालैरिति वदति दिवानिशं बाला ॥ ३४१॥
Those dualities which sometimes adorn the existing Passion,
through its components,—just as the necklace and the like (do
for the Soul, through the body),—are the ornaments (figures
of speech), Alliteration, Simile and the rest. 67.
Those qualities that adorn the principal factor,—
i. e. the Passion—where it exists,—by imparting
excellence to its components, in the shape of the expres-
sive words and their expressed meaning, are called ‘or-
naments’, because they resemble the necklace and other
things which, by imparting beauty to the neck and other
parts of the body, come to adorn the soul also. Where,
however, the Passion does not exist, the said ornaments
tend to become merely fanciful expressions. In certian
cases, even when the Passion is present, they do not serve
to adorn it.
Examples in order :—
(1) In the following verse [and others] the ornament
(Alliteration) adorns the Passion through the expressive
words—
Apasāraya ghanasāraṁ kuru hāraṁ dūra eva kiṁ kamalaiḥ
Alamalamāli mṛṇālairiti vadati divāniśaṁ bālā.
