समेन लक्ष्मणा वस्तु वस्तुना यन्निगूह्यते ।
निजेनागन्तुना वापि तन्मीलितमिति स्मृतम् ॥ १३० ॥
सहजम् आगन्तुकं वा किमपि साधारणं यत् लक्षणम् तद्द्वारेण
यत् किंचित् केनचिद्वस्तु वस्तुस्थित्यैव वलीयस्तया तिरोधीयते
तत् मीलितमिति द्विधा स्मरन्ति ॥
क्रमेणोदाहरणम्--
अपाङ्गतराले दृशौ मधुरवक्रवर्णागिरो
विलासभरमन्थरा गतिरतीव कान्तं मुखम् ।
इति स्फुरितमङ्गके मृगदृशःस्वतो लीलया
तदत्र न मदोदयः कृतपदोपि संलक्ष्यते ॥५४६॥
अत्र दृक्तरलतादिकमङ्गस्य लिङ्गं स्वाभाविकं साधारणं
च महोदयेन तत्राप्येतस्य दर्शनात् ।
L. Mīlita—The Obscured
When one thing is obscured by another, through a
common characteristic, innate or adventitious,—it
is the Obscured. 130.
Between two things there is a certain common
characteristic, which may be either (a) innate or (b) ad-
ventitious ;—through this, when one of those things is
obscured, (hidden from view) by the other, by reason of
this latter being naturally more powerful,—this is the
figure Obscured, which they declare to be of two kinds ;
of which the following are the respective examples—
(a) [The obscuring being done through an innate
characteristic]—
'The eyes are tremulous in the corners ; words sweet
and artful, the movement graceful and languid, the face
extremely light ;—all this has appeared naturally in the
tender body of the fawn-eyed one through lasciviousness ;
so that no sign of intoxication is perceptible in her body'.
