CHAPTER X 403
क्रमेणोदाहरणम्—
ए एहि किंपि कीएवि कएण णिक्किव भणामि अलमहवा ।
अविआरिकज्जआरम्भारिणी मरउ ण भणिस्सं ॥४७१॥
ज्योत्स्ना मौक्तिकदाम चन्दनरसः शीतांशुकान्तद्रवः
कर्पूरं कदली मृणालवलयान्यम्भोजिनीपल्लवाः ।
अन्तर्मानसमास्त्वया प्रभवता तस्याः स्फुलिङ्गोत्कर-
व्यापाराय भवन्ति हन्त किमनेनोक्तेन न ब्रूमहे ॥४७२॥
suppresses it,—i.e., he makes what appears to be a suppress-
ion of it ; and this suppression may be such as has its
subject either (a) about to be mentioned, or (b) already
mentioned ;—and these are two kinds of the figure Hint.
Exampls in order :—
(a) ‘O ! come, I shall tell you, O cruel one ! some-
thing about a certain person ;—or no ; I shall not say it ;—
when she has taken an inconsiderate step, let her die !’
[What is ‘desired to be said’ here is the extreme pang of separa-
tion being borne by the girl ; and in order to convey the idea that it is
something indescribable, the speaker suppresses it ; and the subject
is not mentioned, it is only about to be mentioned.]
(b) ‘Moon-light, pearl-necklace, sandal-juice, the
fluid flowing from the lunar gem, camphor, plantain-
roots, bracelets of lotus-stalks and lotus-leaves—all
these act like sparks of fire upon her, on account—Ah !—
of yourself, who have taken possession of her heart ;—
Woe to me !—what is the use of saying it ?—I shall not
say it.’
[Here what is desired to be described is the love-pang of the
girl under separation ; and in order to convey the idea of its being
too well-known, the speaker suppresses it,—but only after the sub-
ject has been already mentioned.]
