CHAPTER, X 353
अवितथमनोरथपथप्रथनेषु प्रगुणगरिमगीतश्रीः ।
सुरतरुसदृशः स भवानभिलषणीयः क्षितीश्वरो न कस्य ॥ ३९५॥
गाम्भीर्यगरिमा तस्य सत्यं गङ्गाभुजङ्गवत् ।
दुरालोकः स समरे निदाघाम्बररत्नवत् ॥३९६॥
‘ The king who held this world in sway through the
four expedients, just as Viṣṇu does by his four arms,—
the expedients and the arms both being ‘atyāyata’ (the
expedients efficient, and the arms long), subjugators of
the wicked, glorious, resplendent and infallible, the abode
of the sportings of the Goddess of Wealth.’
[Here the simile lies in ‘bhujairiva’, which is a ‘nitya’ compound
does not drop the case-termination of the first term.]
(4) [ The Implied Simile, in a Compound ]—
‘ Avitathamanorathapathaprathaneṣu
praguṇa garimagītaśrīḥ
Suratarusadṛśaḥ sa bhavān abhilaṣaṇīyaḥ
kṣitīśvaro na kasya ’
‘ O King, who is there by whom you are not sought
after?—You who, having your great excellence sung as
lying in the opening of the way for desires that never
remain unfulfilled, are similar to the Celestial Tree.’
(5) and (6) [The Directly Expressed and the Implied
Simile, in nominal Affixes]—
‘ Gāmbhīryagarimā tasya satyaṁgaṅgābhujaṅgavat
Durālokaḥ sa samare nidāghāmbararatnavat ’
‘ The profundity of his depth is like that of the Gaṅgā’s
Lover (Ocean) ; and in battle he is hard to look at, like
the summer Sun.’
[In the first sentence, the similitude is expressed directly by the affix
‘ vati ’ in ‘ bhujaṅgavat ’, which is used in the sense of ‘iva’, like ;—the
term ‘ bhujaṅgavat ’ being equivalent to ‘ bhujaṅgasya iva ’ ;—and in
