CHAPTER VIII 307
अन्यदिति । व्याप्यमिह चित्तम् । सर्वत्रेति । सर्वेषु रसेषु सर्वासु
रचनासु च ॥
गुणवृत्त्या पुनस्तेषां वृत्तिः शब्दार्थयोर्मता ॥ ७१ ॥
गुणवृत्त्या उपचारेण । तेषांगुणानाम् । आकारे शौर्यस्येव ।। ७०-७१ ।।
कुतस्त्रय एव न दश इत्याह
केचिदन्तर्भवन्त्येषु दोषत्यागात्परे श्रिताः ।
अन्ये भजन्ति दोषत्वं कुत्रचिन्न ततो दश ॥ ७२ ॥
That which quickly pervades the other like fire among
dry fuel, or like a clean stream of water, is Lucidity, whose
presence is proper everywhere.
'The other'—i. e., the heart. 'Every where'—i.e., in all
Passions and in all forms of composition.
These (excellences) are held to subsist in words and their
meanings only indirectly. 70-71.
'Indirectly'—i. e., figuratively.
'These'—Excellences.
These excellences (really subsisting in Passion) are
figuratively spoken of (even in Mammaṭa's own definition
of Poetry) as subsisting in words and their meanings, in the
same manner as Bravery and such qualities are attributed
to the body (though really belonging to the soul). 70-71.
"Why should the number of these excellences be three
only, and not ten (as described by Vāmana)?"
The author answers this question—
(a) Some (of the ten) are included under these (three) ; (b)
others are resolved into the mere negation of certain defects;
(c) the rest, in certain cases, have the character of Defects;—
for this reason they are not ten. 72.
