376 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA
अलौकिकमहालोकप्रकाशितजगत्त्रयः ।
स्तूयते देव सद्वंशमुक्तारत्नं न कैर्भवान् ॥४२७॥
निरवधि च निराश्रयं च यस्य स्थितमनिवर्तितकौतुकप्रपञ्चम् ।
प्रथम इह भवान् स कूर्ममूर्तिर्जयति चतुर्दशलोकवल्लिकन्दः॥४२८॥
इति च अमालारूपकमपि परंपरितं द्रष्टव्यम् ।।
किसलयकरैर्लतानां करकमलैः कामिनां मनो जयति ।
नलिनीनां कमलमुखैः मुखेन्दुभिर्योषितां मदनः ॥४२९॥
इत्यादि रशनारूपकं न वैचित्र्यवदिति न लक्षितम् ।।९५।।
[The following is an example of the Punning Consequential
' Metaphor].
‘ Alaukikamahālokaprakāshitajagattrayaḥ
Stūyate deva sadvaṁshamuktāratnaṁ na kairbhavān.
‘O King ! brightening the three worlds with your
superhuman resplendence, and being a pearl in the bamboo
of a noble race, by whom are you not eulogised ?’
[Here the imposition of the character of ‘pearl’ upon the king
is made possible by the imposition of the character of the ‘bamboo’
upon the ‘noble race,’ both of these latter being expressed by the
punning word ‘sadvaṁsha’],
[The following is an example of the non-punning
Consequential Metaphor]—
‘Ever glorious are you, the primeval Tortoise-shaped
God ! the root of the creeper of the fourteen regions,
whose existence, infinite (in time) and unsupported. is never
bereft of extraordinary phenomenon.’
[Here the imposition of the character of the ‘root’ upon the God
is rendered possible by the imposition of the character of ‘creeper’
upon the ‘fourteen regions,’ both of these latter being expressed by
distinct words.]
In both these cases we have the Consequential Meta-
phor, not in the form of a ‘string.’
