काव्यप्रकाश (आचार्य मम्मट - सम्पूर्ण १० उल्लास सटीक)

316 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA
क्वचिद्वक्तृवाच्यानपेक्षाः प्रबन्धोचिता एव ते ॥
तथाहि—
आख्यायिकायां शृङ्गारेऽपि न मसृणवर्णादयः । कथायां रौद्रेऽपि
नात्यन्तमुद्धताः । नाटकादौ रौद्रेऽपि न दीर्घसमासादयः ॥
एवमन्यदप्यौचित्यमनुसर्तव्यम् ॥७७॥
इति काव्यप्रकाशे गुणालंकारभेदनियतगुणनिर्णयो नाम
अष्टम उल्लासः ॥ ८ ॥
as it were, singing the praises of Rāma,—and being looked
at by Aruṇa (the Sun’s charioteer) wheeling about the
sun’s chariot and pulling up the horses on one side,
fearing it to be Rāhu, on account of the force with which
it has shot forth under the impact of the powerful stroke
(of the sword).’
In other cases, the Diction &c. are altered in accordance
with the nature of the form, irrespective of the speaker
and the subject.—For instance in an Ākhyāyikā soft letters
are not admissible even in the delineation of the Erotic
Passion ;—in a Kathā, even in the delineation of the
‘Furious’, bombastic words are not used ;—and in dramas
and works of that kind, long compounds are not used even
in the depicting of the ‘Furious’. Similarly in other cases,
the proprieties are to vary with the circumstances. 77.
[ Thus ends Chapter VIII dealing with the determination of
Excellences as different from Ornaments (Figures of Speech).]
