CHAPTER IX 335
अत्र प्रकरणादिनियमाभावात् द्वावप्यर्थौ वाच्यौ ॥
ननु स्वरितादिगुणभेदाद् भिन्नप्रयत्नोच्चार्याणां तदभा-
वादभिन्नप्रयत्नोच्चार्याणां च शब्दानां बन्धेऽलंकारान्तरप्रति-

परिगणितोऽन्यैरिति कथमयं शब्दालंकारः ।
Example—
‘ Yosakṛtparagotrāṇāṁ pakṣachchedakṣaṇakṣamaḥ
Shatakoṭidatāṁ bibhrad vibhudhendraḥ sa rājate.’
There being no defining factor in the shape of con-

(b) ‘ The king of the gods, Indra, is resplendent,—capable

[Here we have a coalescence, where there is no difference in the
two cases, in any one of the eight factors mentioned above.—This
kind has been called the ‘Abhaṅga-shleṣa’ ‘Unbroken Pun’, on the
ground that it does not necessitate the breaking up of the words into
its various factors;—the necessity of which breaking up leads to the
above-mentioned eight kinds of Pun being called ‘Sabhaṅga-shleṣa’,
‘Broken Pun.’ ]
. An objection is raised in this connection :—“‘A com-
position consists (a) of words that are pronounceable by
diverse ‘ efforts ’ on account of the divergence in their
accents, ‘ samāhāra ’ and other qualifications,—and also
(b) of words that are pronounceable by similar ‘ efforts ’,
by reason of there being no difference in the said qualifi-
