CHAPTER X 405
क्रमेणोदाहरणम्—
निद्रानिवृत्तावुदिते द्युरत्ने सखीजने द्वारपदं पराप्ते ।
श्लथीकृताश्लेषरसे भुजङ्गे चचाल नालिङ्गनतोऽङ्गना सा ॥४७४॥
कर्पूर इव दग्धोपि शक्तिमान् यो जने जने ।
नमोस्त्ववार्यवीर्याय तस्मै मकरकेतवे ॥४७५॥
स एकस्त्रीणि जयति जगन्ति कुसुमायुधः ।
हरतापि तनुं यस्य शम्भुना न बलं हृतम् ॥४७६॥
यथासंख्यं क्रमेणैव क्रमिकाणां समन्वयः ॥ १०८ ॥
Examples in order—
(a) ‘Though sleep had ceased, the Sun had risen, the
friends had come to the door, and the lover had slackened
the impetuosity of his embrace,—yet the woman did not
move away from the embrace.’
[Here the reason for the non-appearance of the effect, which
consists in the depth of the woman’s feelings, is not mentioned.]
(b) ‘All obeisance to the Love-god of impressible
prowess, who, though consumed like camphor, is yet
puissant over every individual !’
[Here we have the reason mentioned, in the shape of the ‘irre-
pressible prowess’ of the god.]
(c) ‘Glorious is the Love-god, who single-handed
conquers the three worlds, and whose power was not
wrested by Shiva, when he deprived him of his body.’
[The destruction of the body would be sure to bring about the
destruction of the power; and the reason, why Shiva did not do the
latter when he did the former, is one that we cannot conceive of.]
XXI—Yathāsaṅkhya—Symmetrical.
The Symmetrical consists in the orderly connection among
things mentioned in a definite order. 108.
