उदाहरणम्--
महौजसो मानधना धनार्चिता
धनुर्भृतः संयति लब्धकीर्तयः ।
न संहतास्तस्य न भेदवृत्तयः
प्रियाणि वाञ्छन्त्यसुभिः समीहितुम् ॥५१९॥
यद्यप्यपुष्टार्थस्य दोषताभिधानात्तन्निराकरणेन पुष्टार्थ-
स्वीकारः कृतः तथाप्येकनिष्ठत्वेन बहूनां विशेषणानामेव-
मुपन्यासे वैचित्र्यमित्यलंकारमध्ये गणितः ॥
व्याजोक्तिश्छद्मनोद्भिन्नवस्तुरूपनिगूहनम् ॥ ११८॥
निगूढमपि वस्तुनो रूपं कथमपि प्रभिन्नं केनापि व्यपदेशेन
यदपहूयते सा व्याजोक्तिः ।
'Description' of and object qualified by the said
epithets.
Example—
'Archers,—brilliant, self-respecting, honoured with
riches, who have made their reputation in war, neither
combining nor differing among themselves,—are anxious,
even at the risk of their lives, to fulfil his wishes.'
Though it is true that by the recognition of 'Irrele-
vancy' as a defect, 'relevancy' or 'significance' has
already been admitted (as an excellence),—yet there is a
certain charm brought about by the bringing together of
a number of significant epithets as applying to a single
object; by reason which this has been included under
'Figures of Speech'.
XXXVII--Vyājokti—Artful Assertion.
Artful Assertion consists in concealing, by some artifice,
the unhidden character of a thing. 118.
When the form of a thing, not explicit in itself,
somehow becomes explicit,—and yet such form is, by
some artifice, concealed,—it is Artful Assertion.
