उदाहरणम्—
धवलोसि जहवि सुन्दर तह वि तुए मज्झ रञ्जिअं हिअअं ।
राअभरिअवि हिअए सुहअ णिहित्तो ण रत्तोसि ॥५६४॥
अत्रातिरक्तेनापि मनसा संयुक्तो न रक्ततामुपगत इत्यतद्गुणः ।
किंच तदिति अप्रकृतम् अस्येति च प्रकृतमत्र निर्दिश्यते ।
तेन यत् अप्रकृतस्य रूपं प्रकृतेन कुतोपि निमित्तात् नानुविधीयते
सोतद्गुण इत्यपि प्रतिपत्तव्यम् । यथा
गाङ्गमम्बु सितमम्बु यामुनं कज्जलाभमुभयत्र मज्जतः ।
राजहंस तव सैव शुभ्रता चीयते न च न चापचीयते ॥५६५॥
Example—
‘Though you are yourself white (fair), yet you
have made my heart red (affected by love) ; but though
enshrined in my heart which is full of redness (love),
you have not been reddened (made to love)’.
Here the expression of the idea that ‘though the
man, even in contact with very much reddened mind, has
not become red’ involves the figure of ‘Non-borrowing
of Qualities’.
In the text, the pronoun ‘tat’, (‘the one’) may stand
for the object other than the one described, and ‘asya’,
(‘the other’) for the object described ; so that the defini-
tion may also be taken to mean that when, for some reason
the character of the other object is not absorbed by the object
described, then it is the Non-borrowing of Qualities.
For example—
‘O Chief of Swans, when you dip into the white
water of the Gangā, or in the black water of the Yamunā,
your own whiteness becomes neither increased nor de-
creased’.
