耻诲腻丑补谤补峁嘺尘,
kvaha峁� dainya-bhar腻办谤腻苍迟补岣� kvaya峁� 艣谤墨-patir 补肠测耻迟补岣� |
迟峁涐梗腻rtam upasa峁儁膩to 苍颈辫腻迟补岣� saura-蝉补颈苍诲丑补惫补岣� ||
kva鈥攚丑别谤别?; aham鈥攁m I; dainya鈥攐f a miserable state; bhara鈥攂y the weight; 腻办谤腻苍迟补岣�鈥攐惫别谤肠辞尘别; kva鈥攚丑别谤别?; ayam鈥擧别; 艣谤墨-辫补迟颈岣�鈥�尝补办峁墨鈥檚 husband; 补肠测耻迟补岣�鈥�Acyuta; 迟峁涐梗腻鈥攂y thirst; 腻谤迟补尘鈥擺someone] pained; 耻辫补蝉补峁儁腻迟补岣�鈥攈as approached; 苍颈辫腻迟补岣�鈥攖he fall (the flow); saura-蝉补颈苍诲丑补惫补岣�鈥攔elated to the Ganges (sura-sindhu).
Where am I? I am overcome by a burden of affliction. And where is Acyuta? He is 尝补办峁墨鈥檚 husband. The flow of the Ganges has approached someone pained by thirst.
atra t峁涐梗峁嚹乲ulasya ga峁単膩-sa峁単ama iva d墨nasya me 艣谤墨-k膩nta-s膩k峁Ｄ乼k膩ra ity upam膩 kalpyate.
Here this simile is imagined: 鈥淏eing afflicted, my directly seeing 尝补办峁墨鈥檚 husband is like a parched individual鈥檚 contacting the Ganges.鈥�
Commentary:
This is Mamma峁璦鈥檚 example:
kva 蝉奴谤测补-prabhavo 惫补峁兣沘岣� kva c膩lpa-vi峁yo mati岣� |
tit墨r峁r dustara峁� moh膩d u岣島pen膩smi 蝉腻驳补谤补m ||鈥淲here on one hand is the solar dynasty and where on the other is my intellect of little scope? Out of folly, I want to traverse the hard-to-cross ocean with a raft.鈥� (Raghu-惫补峁兣沘 1.2)
Mamma峁璦 elaborates: atra, u岣島pena 蝉腻驳补谤补-迟补谤补峁嘺m iva man-maty膩 蝉奴谤测补-惫补峁兣沘-var峁嘺nam ity upam膩y膩峁� paryavasyati, 鈥淗ere the statement culminates in a simile: 鈥淒escribing the solar dynasty by means of my intellect is like crossing the ocean with a raft鈥濃�� (碍腻惫测补-辫谤补办腻艣补, verse 435 惫峁泃迟颈).
However, in each verse, if there is no follow-up that implies a simile, that huge contrast by itself is classed as the first variety of the 惫颈峁尘补 ornament (disparity) (10.203-204).
N膩ge艣a Bha峁弓a makes two categories of 苍颈诲补谤艣补苍腻: 艣膩bd墨 (understood from the words) and 腻谤迟丑墨 (understood from the sense). He says Mamma峁璦鈥檚 example illustrates the latter. He exemplifies the former: 鈥淥ne who colors the jewels of your nails with red nail-polish makes the moon whitish with off-white sandalwood paste.鈥�[1]
