ٳܳٲśṃs (अप्रस्तुतप्रशंसा) refers to one of the 93 ṃk (“figures of speech�) mentioned by Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭācārya (fl. 17th century) in his Kāvyavilāsa and is listed as one of the 89 ٳṃk (figure of speech determined by the sense, as opposed to sound).—The figure ٳܳٲśṃs has been first admitted by Bhāmaha in his Kāvyālaṃkāra (III/29). In his opinion the praise of a subject unconnected with anything in the context is called ٳܳٲśṃs by the wise. Mammaṭa and Ruyyaka have defined ٳܳٲśṃs in the same line. According to Ruyyaka (A.S.P. 104) when the description of non-contextual thing leads to the comprehension of the contextual, the figure ٳܳٲśṃs takes place.

Cirañjīva has defined ٳܳٲśṃs —�ٳܳٲśṃs syātsā yatra prastutānugā�.—In his opinion when the description of a thing which is not in the context turns into the comprehension of an object in context, it is the figure ٳܳٲśṃs. Cirañjīva, takes the meaning of the word śṃs as stuti that is praise but according to Jagannātha the word śṃs means ṇa or description.

Example of the ٳܳٲśṃs-alaṃkāra:�

svarṇābjasphuṭamānamānasasaraḥsambhūtirāvirbhava dgīrvāṇādarasārapūritatayā saṃśobhitasvardhuni� |
durmānairavamānito yadi punargrāmīṇadīnānvayai� ki� hīna� pariśaṃsyate sa jagatā� haṃsa� śṃsspada� ||

“If the swan which is the wealth of the lake mānasa where blooming golden lotuses appear and on account of possessing the essence of love of gods beautify the ganges, is insulted by a disgraceful low-born villager, can that praise worthy swan be taken as meritless�?

Notes: In this verse from the prise of the swan which is noncontextual, the insult of a great men by an ignorant person which is contextual is understood.So this is an example of ٳܳٲśṃs.

: Shodhganga: Bhismacaritam a critical study

ٳܳٲśṃs (अप्रस्तुतप्रशंसा) refers to “indirect description� and represents one of the various Alaṅkāras (‘figures of speech�) classified as Artha (‘sense�), as employed in the Bhīṣmacarita (Bhishma Charitra) which is a 屹ⲹ (‘epic poem�) written by Hari Narayan Dikshit.—The poet has nicely used �ٳܳٲśṃs-ṅk� in his poem. For instance, in verse II.38 of the Bhīṣmacarita the poet has very tactfully praised the Guru who does not become partial towards his students. Rather he loves his students more than his own son. The other examples are IX.6, XIV.22, XV.29, etc.
