374 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA
अत्र मानसमेव मानसम् कमलायाः संकोच एव कमलानाम-
संकोचः दुर्गाणाममार्गणमेव दुर्गायाः मार्गणम् समितां स्वीकार
एव समिधां स्वीकारः सत्ये प्रीतिरेव सत्यामप्रीतिः विजयः
परपराभव एव विजयोर्जुनः एवमारोपणनिमित्तो हंसादेरारोपः।
यद्यपि शब्दार्थालंकारोयमित्युक्तं वक्ष्यते च तथापि
प्रसिद्धचनुरोधादत्रोक्तः। एकदेशविवर्ति हीदमन्यैरभिधीयते ।।
brave ! Mayst thou continue to sway your empire for a
hundred years of Brahma !
Here (1) the character of the ‘swan’ is imposed upon
the ‘king’, only as a means of imposing (through Pun)
upon the ‘mind’ the character of the ‘Mānasa lake’;—
(2) the character of the ‘Sun’ is imposed upon the ‘king’,
only as a means of imposing (through Pun) the character
of ‘the blossoming of lotuses’ upon ‘the shrivelling of
the enemy’s prosperity’;—(3) the character of ‘Shiva’
is imposed upon the ‘king’, only as a means of imposing
(through Pun) the character of ‘longing for Durgā’ upon
‘the not seeking of the shelter of forts’;—(4) the character
of ‘fire’ is imposed upon the ‘king’, only as a means of
imposing (through Pun) the character of ‘consuming fuel’
upon ‘the accepting of battle’;—(5) the character of
‘Dakṣa’ is imposed upon the ‘king’ only as a means of
imposing (through Pun) of the character of ‘displeasure
with Satī’ upon the ‘attachment to truth’;—(6) the
character of ‘Bhīma’ is imposed upon the ‘king’ as a
means of imposing (through Pun) the character of ‘being
he elder brother of Arjuna’ upon the ‘exuberance of
victory’.
Though (by reason of the Puns being such as do not
admit of the replacing of the words used by their synonyms)
