senting the picture and in intensifying the Terrible senti-
ment as it afforded him full opportunity to show in one pla-
ce his workmanship in many ways.
(8) ADBHUTA-RASA or THE MARVELLOUS SENTIMENT :
Dhanapāla is a pastmaster in the depiction of the
sentiment of the Marvellous which permeates the very stru-
cture of the whole story of the TM.IT has been used most
e
effectivly to generate a sense of surprise and thereby sus-
tain the element of suspense throughout the narrative. And
the poet is quite conscious about this aspect as is evident
a
from * number of remarks scattered all over in the TM460
The principal points and incidents where the Marve-
llous has been prominently utilized in the narrative apart
from the wonderful nature of the descriptions and imageries,
are listed below as specimens :
