CHAPTER X 429
न चैषापह्नुतिः प्रकृताप्रकृतोभयनिष्ठस्य साम्यस्येहासंभवात् ।

This is not the same as ‘Concealment’ (see above
Kārikā No. 96), because in the present case there is no
possibility of any similitude between the object described
and that to which it is compared.
Example (of Artful Assertion)—
‘May Shiva protect you,—he being smilingly looked
upon by the ladies in the harem of the King of Mountains,
when he,—having a thrill and such effects produced in
himself by the touch of Pārvatī’s hand offered to him
by her father, and feeling confused at the consequent
omission of the details of the marriage-rites,—blurted
out—“Oh, how cold are the hands of the Snow-moun-
tain!”
Here the thrilling and the trembling (the latter being
among the ‘other effects’),—though really appearing
as the calm effects (of the feeling of Love aroused by the
touch), are described here as the effects of cold; and as in
this manner their real character is ‘concealed’, we have
here a case of Artful Assertion. 118.
