श्रीभगवानुवाच—
असंशयं महाबाहो ! मनो दुर्निग्रहं चलम् ।
अभ्यासेन तु कौन्तेय ! वैराग्येण च गृह्यते ॥ ६।३४-३५
शिलीमुखैः—With arrows.
समं—Simultaneously.
N. B. The cause of wonder on the part of the King is
this :—A target to be pierced is required to be visible and
steady to the marksman. But though the mind of the King
was unsteady in its nature as well as imperceptible owing to its
atomic nature, still it was pierced simultaneously with all the
arrows of Cupid. [ This indicates the god's almightiness.
This expression of the King is due to his extreme love-sick
condition. ]
The figure of speeeh is here (1) विभावना owing to the effect
of वेधन (piercing) being brought about without the existence of
causes, viz.,—स्थिरत्व (steadiness) and सुलक्ष्यत्व (perceptibility).
The definition of विभावना—“विभावना विना हेतुं कार्योत्पत्तिः” ।
(2) विरोधाभासालंकारः—As the विरोध arises when the invisible
and unsteady mind is simultaneously pierced by many arrows.
And the विरोध is refuted when विप्रलम्भ ( separation ) and the love-
sick-condition of the King are taken into consideration. The
metre is here अनुष्टुप् ।
Ch. of voice.—मनसा...चलेन...दुर्लक्ष्ये ण...कामः...एतत्...विद्धवान् ॥२॥
कुसुमधन्वन्—कुसुमं धनुर्यस्य ( बहु ) तत् सम्बोधने ; समासान्तः अनङ् by the
rule “वा संज्ञायाम्” । कुसुमधन्वन् is declined like आत्मन् । The alter-
native form is कुसुमधनुः ।
Sl. 3. मनोभवस्य—मनसि भवतीति मनस् - भू + अच् पचादित्वात् ।
