गृहिणी सचिवः सखी मिथः प्रियशिष्या ललिते कलाविधौ ।
करुणाविमुखेन मृत्युना हरता त्वां बत किं न मे हृतम् ॥५६२॥
सर्वत्र एवंविधविषयेऽतिशयोक्तिरेव प्राणत्वेनावतिष्ठते
तां विना प्रायेणालंकारत्वायोगात् । अत एवोक्तम्
"सैषा सर्वत्र वक्रोक्तिरनयार्थो विभाव्यते ।
यत्नोऽस्यां कविना कार्यः कोऽलंकारोऽनया विना ॥ इति ॥
स्वमुत्सृज्य गुणं योगादत्युज्ज्वलगुणस्य यत् ।
वस्तु तद्गुणतामेति भण्यते स तु तद्गुणः ॥ १३७॥
वस्तु तिरस्कृतनिजरूपं केनापि समीपगतेन प्रगुणया स्वगुण-
संपदोपरक्तं तत्प्रतिभासमेव यत्समासादयति स तद्गुणः । तस्या-
प्रकृतस्य गुणोऽत्रास्तीति ।
Another example of the same—
‘When cruel Death deprived me of you—who were
my wife, counsellor, confidante and beloved pupil in the
graceful arts,—oh ! what is there that he did not deprive
me of ?’
In all these cases (of the Extraordinary), artistic ex-
pression forms the very essence ; as without it they would
almost cease to be ornamental (figures of speech) at all.
It is for this reason that the following statement has been
made (by Bhāmaha and others)—‘Artistic expression is
present everywhere ; it is by this that meanings become
beautified ; it is on this that the poet should concentrate
his effort ; what figure of speech can there be without
this ?’ 136.
LVII—Tadguṇa,—Quality borrowing.
When a thing, through contact with another possessed
of extremely brilliant qualities, renounces its own quality
and takes up the qualities of that other thing,—it is
Quality-borrowing. 137.
