CHAPTER X 481
सक्तवो भक्षिता देव शुद्धाः कुलवधूरिव ॥५९१॥
यत्र तु नानात्वेपि लिङ्गवचनयोः सामान्याभिधायि पदं
स्वरूपभेदं नापद्यते न तत्रैतद्दूषणावतारः उभयथापि अस्य
अनुगमक्षमस्वभावत्वात् । यथा
गुणैरनर्घ्यैः प्रथितो रत्नैरिव महार्णवः ॥५९२॥
तद्वेषोसदृशोन्याभिः स्त्रीभिर्मधुरताभृतः ।
दधते स्म परां शोभां तदीया विभ्रमा इव ॥५९३॥
bhakṣitā deva shuddhāḥ kulavadhūriva,—‘The clean barley-
meal was eaten, like pure women ’,—[where the past-
participle ‘bhakṣitāḥ’ in the plural number cannot be
construed with ‘kulavadhūḥ’ in the singular.]
In those cases however where, even when there is
diversity of gender and number, there is no consequent
alteration in the word denoting the common property,—
it does not involve the said defect ; as the common pro-
perty remains capable of being connected with both the
objects concerned. For example, in the following pass-
ages—(a) ‘Guṇairanarghyaiḥ prathito ratnairiva mahārṇavaḥ’
[ He is famous for his valuable qualities, as the ocean for
his gems ] [ where though the genders of the nouns
‘ratnaiḥ’ and ‘guṇaiḥ’ are different, yet that does not
make any difference in the form of the connected word
‘prathitaḥ’ ] ;—or in the passage—(b) ‘Tadveṣo’ sadṛśhonyā-
bhiḥ strībhirmadhuratābhṛtaḥ dadhate sma parāṁ shobhāṁ
tadīyā vibhramā iva’—‘Her apparel was lovely as her
graces, sweet and unequalled by other women’ ; [ where
the compounds ending with ‘sadṛshaḥ’ and ‘bhṛtaḥ’
are such as can be made applicable to both nouns ‘veṣaḥ’,
singular and ‘vibhramāḥ’, plural.]
