is another fault. When a word is not able to convey the sense for which it is used or when its sense is dubious i. e. ambiguous, the fault of curs. For instance in the verse 306, in fa, the day though full of light is cursed" the word f is unable to convey the sense, a day full of light', for it means only 'a day '.

Similarly, in the following verse which contains a grand metaphor thus:-The feet of art are the lotuses; her loveliness is the well; her thighs are the stalks; the rays of her nails are the filaments; the red dye is the blossom; the anklets are the bees etc., the word 'holding' is used in the sense of 'creating'-a sense which it can not convey. In the verse 308 meaning "Your precept or is Shankar; you have conquered fa; the ocean is your house; the earth is given over by you as a gift; but as your has killed your mother, my sword चन्द्रहास is ashamed to fight with it,” the word विजेय (=conquerable) is used in the sense of conquered ' and hence the fault.

In 309th verse in which
compares the war-cry with the thundering of clouds, the word is used in the sense of a loud roar'; but it usually means the sound of a frog.'

Hence it is clear that words having a peculiar or a technical sense, if used elsewhere, lead to this fault.
