CHAPTER X 387
येनास्यभ्युदितेन चन्द्र गमितः क्लान्तिं रवौ तत्र ते
युज्येत प्रतिकर्तुमेव न पुनस्तस्यैव पादग्रहः ।
क्षीणेनैतदनुष्ठितं यदि ततः किं लज्जसे नो मनाग्
अस्त्वेवं जडधामता तु भवतो यद् व्योम्नि विस्फूर्जसे ॥४४४॥
आदाय वारि परितः सरितां मुखेभ्यः
किं तावदर्जितमनेन दुरर्णवेन।
क्षारीकृतं च वडवादहने हुतं च
पातालकुक्षिकुहरे विनिवेशितं च ॥४४५॥
himself,—he may do all this if thereby he can save the
world ;—this was the way shown by the Noble Person ’.
[What is meant to be described here is a certain noble benefactor
of men, while what is described is another noble benefactor in the per-
son of Viṣṇu ; and this latter is made to point to the former by means
of such paronomatic expressions as are applicable to both cases.]
(2) ‘O Moon, when the Sun rises, you become deprived
of your lustre ; what is proper for you then is to avenge
yourself, and not to fall upon his feet [ borrow his light-
rays .] If this has been done by you when you had be-
come impoverished, then are you not ashamed ?—or,
that you even now show yourself in the sky may be due
to your nervelessness [ coolness of your light ].’
[What is meant to be described here is the behaviour of a certain
impoverished person ; and this is indicated by the description of another
impoverished person in the shape of the Moon ; and this is done through
Modal Metaphor based upon the Pun involved in the words ‘pāda-
grahaḥ’ and ‘jaḍadhāmatā.’]
(3) ‘ What has the wretched Ocean done with the water
that he has received from the mouths of rivers ? He has
rendered it brackish or poured it into the Submarine Fire,
or thrown it into the innermost recesses of the Nether
World.’
