CHAPTER X 391
यच्च तदेवान्यत्वेनाध्यवसीयते सा अपरा । यथा
अण्णं लडहत्तणं अण्णा विअ का वि वत्तणच्छाआ ।
सामा सामण्णपआवइणो रेहच्चिअ ण होइ ॥४५०॥
‘यद्यर्थस्य’ यदि शब्देन चेच्छब्देन वा उक्तौ यत् कल्पनम्
(अर्थात् असंभविनोर्थस्य) सा तृतीया । यथा
राकायामकलंकं चेदमृतांशोर्भवेद्वपुः ।
तस्या मुखं तदा साम्यपराभवमवाप्नुयात् ॥४५१॥
कारणस्य शीघ्रकारितां वक्तुं कार्यस्य पूर्वमुक्तौ चतुर्थी । यथा
The face (and the eyes and the body) are represented
as ‘swallowed by’ (identified with) the lotus (the blue
lotuses and the golden creeper).
(b) It is the second kind of Hyperbole, when that
same object (to be described) is represented ‘as another’,
as something different. Example.—
‘Her tenderness is something quite different ; quite
different to the brightness of her complexion ; this young
girl is not the creation of the ordinary Creator.’
[Here the idea expressed is that the ‘tenderness’ and other things
are quite different from the ordinary tenderness and the rest.]
(c) It is the third kind of Hyperbole, when there is
‘assumption’,—i.e., of an impossible idea through the
use of ‘some term meaning if’—i.e., of the term ‘yadi’
or ‘chet’.
Example—
‘If the body of the Moon at night were to be spotless,
then alone could her face suffer the insult of being equalled.’
(d) It is the fourth kind of Hyperbole, when, for the
purpose of indicating the powerful efficacy of the cause,
the effect is described as appearing before its time.
