[ P. 144. A. 2. S. 55.
I can't live without her even for an instant. I do not know how she can be obtained. " रावण says this about सीता. The same is illustrated in the verse 168: the poet addressing a wanton woman (having many lovers) says:-Who is that praiseworthy man without whom you can not pass your time? And who is that man (who must have been killed on the battlefield in his former birth) whom you are seeking? Who is, again, born in an happy hour, whom you wish to embrace ? And who is that lucky man (who has practised penance and stored merit thereby) whom you are thinking of? In the verse 169 the eagerness of with regard to सीता is depicted; hence it is भावाभास ( eagerness - औत्सुक्य being a व्यभिचारिभाव.)
divides poetry into
In the following sutra and
three classes:. Of the three classes of poetry, उत्तम, the best kind of poetry, is व्यङ्गयकाव्य. It is defined in the sutra (56) as follows:
The best kind of poetry is that where the suggested sense stands more prominently than the direct of the poem. This is also called à ध्वनिकाव्य.
sense
The instance is given in the verse 170:addresses thus (on the battlefield ):
No one would believe that you lifted up even an anthill (why then talk of a mountain?). You have conquered merely by your penance-why then this pride of your arms? All this, however, I shall grant to be true, if you will resist the arrow of (i. e. myself) enfeebled owing to seperation-my arrow the end of of which is drenched with the blood of the arm-pit of af which is marked by your teeth."
