CHAPTER X 393
यदि दहत्यनलोत्र किमद्भुतं यदि च गौरवमद्रिषु किं ततः ।
लवणमम्बु सदैव महोदधेः प्रकृतिरेव सतामविषादिता।।४५४।।
इत्यादिका मालाप्रतिवस्तूपमा द्रष्टव्या । एवमन्यत्राप्यनुसर्तव्यम् ॥
दृष्टान्तः पुनरेतेषां सर्वेषां प्रतिबिम्बनम् ॥ १०२ ॥
एतेषां साधारणधर्मादीनां दृष्टोऽन्तो निश्चयो यत्र स दृष्टान्तः ।
त्वयि दृष्ट एव तस्या निर्वाति मनो मनोभवज्वलितम् ।
आलोके हि हिमांशोर्विकसति कुसुमं कुमुद्वत्याः ॥४५५॥
एष साधर्म्येण ।
jewel marked with the figure of a god does not deserve to
be worn.'
[The common property, ' impropriety ', is mentioned in both
halves of the verse, but in different words.]
In the following verse we have the ' Stringed Typical
' What is the wonder, if fire burns etc.'
(See above, stanza No. 272).
Similarly may other forms be illustrated.
XIV.—Dṛṣṭānta—Exemplification.
Exemplification is the reflectional representation of all these.
The ' Dṛṣṭānta ' is so called because therein is
perceived (' dṛṣṭa ') the ' definite recognition ' (' anta ')
of ' all these '—i.e., of the Common Property (the object
compared and the object compared to).
Example.—
' As soon as you are seen, her heart, inflamed with
love, becomes calmed ; it is only in the light of the moon
that the flower of the Lily-plant blooms.'
Here we have Exemplification per similarity.
[ (a) The king, (b) the girl, (c) the heart, (d) the inflammation of
love and (e) the becoming calm, being reflected respectively in, (a)
the moon, (b) the lily plant, (c) the flower, (d) the withering caused
by the sun's rays, and (e) the blooming].
