46 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA
आदिग्रहणाच्चेष्टादेः । तत्र चेष्टाया यथा—
द्वारोपान्तनिरन्तरे मयि तया सौन्दर्यसारश्रिया
प्रोल्लास्योरुयुगं परस्परसमासक्तं समासादितम् ।
आनीतं पुरतः शिरोंशुकमधः क्षिप्ते चले लोचने
वाचस्तत्र निवारितं प्रसरणं संकोचिते दोर्लते ॥२२॥
The meaning suggested is—‘The spring-season having
arrived (when lovers should be united), if you are going
away from home, I shall not be alive any longer and shall,
therefore, not know where you may be.’
[This suggestion is due to the fact of the speech being made during
spring-time.]
(j) The phrase ‘ and so forth ’ (in Text 22) is meant to
include gesture and such other details. An example of
suggestion by expressed meaning, through the peculia-
rity of gesture, we have in the following—
‘ While I was standing close to the door, she, res-
plendent with the very essence of beauty, having dilated
her thighs, pressed them together ; she brought down
the veil over her face, cast unsteady glances, suppressed
her speech and drew her arms together.’
Here the various gestures described suggest to the
lover the wishes of the speaker.
[(1) The movement of the thighs suggests her desire for inverted
intercourse, (2) the bringing down of the veil suggests that the lover
should come secretly,—(3) the unsteady glances suggest that her passion
of love has been aroused,—(4) the suppression of speech suggests
that there should be no talk regarding the meeting,—(5) and the
bringing together of the arms suggests that when he comes to her
he will receive her embraces.]
