उपवनसहकारोद्भासिभृङ्गच्छलेन
प्रतिविशिखमनेनोद्दङ्कितं कालकूटम् ॥४३१॥
अत्र हि न सभृङ्गाणि सहकाराणि अपि तु सकालकूटाः
शरा इति प्रतीतिः । एवं वा
अमुष्मिंल्लावण्यामृतसरसि नूनं मृगदृशः
स्मरः शर्वप्लुष्टः पृथुजघनभागे निपतितः ।
यदङ्गाङ्गाराणां प्रथमपिशुना नाभिकुहरे
शिखा धूमस्येयं परिणमति रोमावलिवपुः ॥४३२॥
अत्र न रोमावलिः धूमशिखेयमिति प्रतिपत्तिः ॥
एवमियं भङ्ग्यन्तरैरप्यूह्या ॥
Or again—
‘ O friend ! Just see the ill-will borne by the Love-
god towards lovers already emaciated by separation from
their beloved : Under the pretext of black bees hovering
over the mango-trees in the garden, he has applied poison
to each one of his arrows ’.
Here the idea meant to be conveyed is that ‘ what are
seen are not mango-trees with black bees hovering about
them, but so many arrows dipped in poison ’.
Yet another example—
‘ Verily, the Love-god, scorched by Shiva, has fallen
upon the plump thighs of the Fawn-eyed one,—which are
like the tank of the nectar of loveliness ; as from the hole
of her naval there is proceeding a line of smoke, in the
form of the line of hair, which is the first sign of the extin-
guishing of the fire-embers of his body.’
The idea conveyed here is that ‘ what we see is not the
line of hair, but the line of smoke.’
