प्रियदर्शिका नाटिका (सम्राट हर्षवर्धन - चतुरङ्क शास्त्रीय नाटिका सान्वय सटीक)

विषवेग—The circulation or effect of poison. अन्धकारं प्रवेशयसि—
As her brain was affected by the poison her sight was bedimmed
and all things appeared to be dark to her.
P. 55. विपद्यते—dies; cf. for this sense त्वमनाथा विपद्यसे। Uttar.
I. 44; हा मात एव ते नरेन्द्रप्रियाराधनोपकरणं जनो विपद्यते। Mâl. Mâd.
V. p. 107.
Śl. 8. गतश्च—दग्धा च—The repetition of च here expresses the
simultaneous occurrence of two actions. हिमेन—दग्धा—These
apparently appear to be contradictory terms or to be wanting in
what is called योग्यता (fitness or power to express a meaning) as
वह्निना सिञ्चति which is absurd. But here हिमेन दग्धा is quite intelli-
gible, as the effects of extreme cold and heat on plants, foliage,
flowers &c. are similar; cf. हिमसेकविपत्तिरत्र मे नलिनी पूर्वन्निदर्शनं मता।
Ragh VIII. 35. वाम—Adverse, unfavourable; cf. for a similar
description—आयुर्नश कलाभिरिन्दुरमलो यातश्च राहोर्मुखं सञ्जानश्च धनाधनो जलधरः
शीर्णश्च भावोर्जवन्त्। निर्वृत्तश्च फलेप्रहिर्दुमवरो दग्धश्च दावानिना। &c. Mâl. Mâd
IX. 39.
किं ते चेष्ट.—Have you consciousness, are you aware of anything?
P. 56 Śl. 9. The poison was working on Priya, the effects
were produced on the King, as he says. This was because their hearts
were linked together by love; cf. स हि स्नेहात्मकस्तन्तुरन्तर्मर्माणि सीव्यति।
Uttar. V. 17. This indicates the intensity of the King's passion.
The fig. of speech here is असङ्गति which occurs when a cause and
its effect are represented as totally different, or separated (or in
which there is an apparent violation of the relation between
cause and effect). विरुद्धं भिन्नदेशत्वं कार्य हेत्वोरसंगतिः। विषं जलधरैः पीतं
मूच्छिताः पथिकाङ्गनाः। Kuva, भिन्नदेशतयापन्नं कार्यकारणभूतयोः। युगपद्धर्म-
यौरैक्यं ख्यातिः सा स्यादसङ्गतिः ॥ Kav. P. X. वेदना—Feeling or sensa-
tion, power of perception विषमा—Adverse, alarming. मन्त्र-
स्मरणं—mental recitation नाटयति—i. e. by the movement of
the lips, looking at the person &c., accompanied by the sprinkling
of water on the person operated on.
P. 57. नरेन्द्रता—The word नरेन्द्र here is श्लिष्ट (paronomastic).
It means a king and also a विषवैद्य a physician skilled in curing
poisons, cf. सुनिग्रहा नरेन्द्रेण फणीन्द्रा इव शत्रवः। Śiś. II. 88, where
the word is used in both the senses. इदानीमपि—Even now, i. e.
although revived.
राजा-(सस्मितं)—Because the king knew that her bewildered
condition was due to the action of love at the sight of her lover.
For the effects mentioned in the śl. are also due to love affection;
cf. Mâl. Mâd. III. 8.
