उरो मुकुलितस्तनं जघनमंसबन्धोधुरं
बतेन्दुवदनात नौ तरुणिमोद्गमो मोदते ॥ ९ ॥
अगूढं यथा
श्रीपरिचयाज्जडा अपि भवन्त्यभिज्ञा विदग्धचरितानाम् ।
उपदिशति कामिनीनां यौवनमद एव ललितानि ॥ १० ॥
अत्रोपदिशतीति ॥
ling' (as applied to the glances, which are inanimate),—(d) 'rising'
(as applied to gracefulness, which is not a material substance and hence
cannot do any rising),—e) 'relinquishing steadiness' (as applied to
thoughts which are not sentient),—(f) 'budding' (as applied to breasts,
though really applicable to flowers,)—and (g) 'efficient' (as applied
to the thighs which are inanimate), and hence they are taken as indicating
the (figurative) meaning in which the words are understood in the
passage, e g (a) 'exuberance' indicates excellence and what is suggested
is 'desirability',—(b) 'blooming' indicates unrestrained manifestation,
and what is suggested is 'sweet odour' and so forth,—(c) 'acquiring'
indicates mastery and it suggests the 'appearance of the loved person',—
(d) 'rising' indicates profuseness, which suggests 'heart-ravishing cha-
racter';—e) 'relinquishing steadiness' indicates impatience, which
suggests 'the increasing influence of love',—(f) 'budding' indicates
unflabbiness, which suggests 'fitness for embrace',—(g) 'efficiency'
indicates capacity for spirited intercourse, which suggests 'loveliness.'—
And all this, not capable of being comprehended by ordinary men, is
very 'abstruse'।
As an example of the 'explicit' suggested meaning,
we have the following—
'Coming into contact with prosperity' even dull
persons become conversant with the functions of the
clever : the intoxication of youth itself teaches the graces
to lovely women.'
Here the work 'teaches' (having its direct meaning
barred, in relation to the 'intoxication of youth,' which
is inanimate), indicates 'manifestation', which suggests
'spontaneous attainment of the graces'; and this sug-
gestion is quite explicit).
