168 \t NOTES ON \t [VI 11—
ऽमानन् and makes my soul full of affection on account of
reason (that I do not know) उपस्नेहयति is a denominative
verb अथवा स्नेहन् or to say that it is affection and yet
dependent upon some (assignable external) reason is con-
tradictory (is a contradiction in terms) व्यपेक्षया सह सम्पृक्ष्य,
विनिश्चम्य सापेक्षा सापेक्ष निमित्त is either बाह्य or आन्तर Here it is
बाह्यनिमित्त that is meant राम said that there must be some
(external) reason why लव should make his heart full of
affection, but then he corrects himself. Real affection must
always be disinterested, if it springs out of some external
palpable motive, it cannot be called real affection, for, as soon
as the outward conditions disappear, the so called affection
may in that case vanish Hence real affection must spring
in some unknown and inexplicable way This very propo-
sition is put forward in other words in the next verse and
illustrated. This sentence occurs in the मालतीमाधव and is there
also followed by the same verse There जगद्धर remarks
ऽशक्त्वमौपाधिकस्त्व चेत्येकधर्मद्वयमेकत्र धर्मिणि विरुद्धमित्यर्थः' Verse 12
दति हेतुः some internal and unknown cause links things to-

संश्रयन्ते affections do not really depend (or rest) on outward
conditions The following lines contain two particular
examples of the general proposition पतङ्गस्य = सूर्यस्य हिम(रश्मी)
चन्द्र उद्गते उदिते सति This verse occurs in the मालतीमाधव (I 27),
where जगद्धर comments 'तथा च तीक्ष्णतरोचिषे योनेरुन्मदलविकासात्
जगन्तररोदये पाशणडारणाच्च सहजसिद्ध एव हेतु । इह किं बाह्य कारणं दृश्यते ।
तदयदृतेऽपि स्वाभाविक एव सइ इति भाव ।' The figure here is
ऽर्थान्तरन्यास ममापि तथैव then he is to me the same (as a
father) in duty Since चन्द्रकेतु called लव his friend, लव says
he must honour राम just as his friend honours him. चत्वार
