In the verse 195 which means:
The rich play with the beggars who are possessed of the ghost of hope. Every time the rich order the beggars thus : 'Come along, go, fall down, get up, speak, be silent.'
Here in this verse Come and go' are contradictory things but because all these contradictory things are subordinated to the verb iafia, there is no fault in having these contradictory statements in the same verse.
Bait would thus almost mean subordination to another thing which is the principal thing.
If the statements in sentences can thus be subordinated to a third statement it follows as a matter of course that Tas containing those statements also can be subordinated to a th which is principal.
Now in the verse 194 quoted above, we can as well say that the chief sentiment in the poem is fagogarafata (i. e. the great prowess of Shankar and the admiration the poet feels for this ) and EUTTA is subordinated to this. Now the TFIT which also is suggested in the verse is subordinate to this $607, but it ultimately, along with 250t, becomes subordinate to the all-powerful 895ATA ( the admiration of the prowess of Shankar ); or we explain thus:
First we find that there is ter in the verse (194) because the words 311fxz etc. and #rotarafqata: clearly suggest TER. But as we read the verse as a whole and come to finala: Tufia:, we find that the bodies of the women demons, being burnt by the fire, vividly suggest SEOTCA which is the predominant to in this verse. The Y a, thus, rears its head in the beginning
