476 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA
अत्र कर्तृकर्मप्रतिनियमेन स्तुतिः अनुप्रासानुरोधेनैव कृता न
पुराणेतिहासादिषु तथा प्रतीतेति प्रसिद्धिविरोधः ॥
भण तरुणि रमणमन्दिरमानन्दस्यन्दिसुन्दरेन्दुमुखि ।
यदि सल्लीलोल्लापिनि गच्छसि तत् किं त्वदीयं मे ॥५८१॥
अनणुरणन्मणिमेखलमविरतशिञ्जानमञ्जुमञ्जीरम् ।
परिसरणमरुणचरणे रणरणकमकारणं कुरुते ॥५८२॥
‘May that chariot of the Sun bent upon benefitting the
world, protect you, whose line of spokes is daily recognised
with pleasure by Viṣṇu, the horses by Indra, the banners
by Shiva, the wheel by the Moon, the driver Aruṇa by
Varuṇa, the poles by Kubera and the speed by the hosts
of gods!’
The series of Agents and the Acts attributed to them
here are all such as have been assumed for the purposes
of Alliteration, and no such acts are found to have been
described in the Itihāsas or Purāṇas. So that this is only
a case of ‘contraxity to prevailing notions’.

‘Bhaṇa taruṇi ramaṇamandiramānandasyandi-
sundarendumukhi
Yadi sallīlollāpini gachchasi tat kiṁ tvadīyaṁ me
Anaṇuraṇanmaṇimekhalamaviratashiñjānamañju-
mañjīram
Parisaraṇamaruṇacharaṇe raṇaraṇakamakā-
raṇaṁ kurute.’
‘O young girl, with face as bright as the joyous moon,
who converse sweetly and whose feet are red! at the time
that you are going to your husband, your movement,
accompanied by the tingling girdlezone and jingling
anklets, produce without reason, a peculiar anxiety in
my heart ;—tell me why this is so’.
