तदन्यस्य कारणादेः । क्रमेणोदाहरणम्—
याता किं न मिलन्ति सुन्दरि पुनश्चिन्ता त्वया मत्कृते
नो कार्या नितरां कृशासि कथयत्येवं सबाष्पे मयि ।
लज्जामन्थरतारकेण निपतत्पीताश्रुणा चक्षुषा
दृष्ट्वा मां हसितेन भाविमरणोत्साहस्तया सूचितः ॥४३९॥
अत्र प्रस्थानात्किमिति निवृत्तोसीति कार्ये पृष्टे कारणमभिहितम् ।
राजन्-राजसुता न पाठयति मां देव्योपि तूष्णीं स्थिताः
कुब्जे भोजय मां कुमारसचिवैर्नाद्यापि किं भुज्यते ।
इत्थं नाथ शुकस्तवारिभवने मुक्तोध्वगैः पञ्जराच्
चित्रस्थानवलोक्य शून्यवलभावैकैकमाभाषते ॥४४०॥
‘ Their converse ’—i.e. (a) cause and the rest. Examples
in order—
(a) ‘‘ ‘O beautiful one, don’t those who go out meet
again ? Don’t be anxious for me ; you are extremely
weak ”,—while, with tears, I was saying this, she, with
her eyes fixed through modesty and absorbing the over-
flowing tears, smiled and by that smile she indicated her
joy at her approaching death.’
Asked for an explanation of the effect, in the shape of
the postponement of his projected journey, the speaker
has described here the cause [in the shape of the beloved’s
perceptible determination to die on separation.]
(b) “ ‘O King, the princess is not teaching me to talk ;
and the queens also are sitting silent. O Kubjā, feed me.
Why are not the princes and ministers taking their food
even at this time ?’—Thus does the parrot in the empty
turrets of your enemy’s houses, speak, when let out of
the cage by the passers-by, it sees the figure of its ‘master
on the pictures.’
