P. 242. A. 3. S. 6.)
etc. Here ugly, obscure etc. are predicates (fasta ) but in the compound अलक्ष्यजन्मता, जन्मता i.e. the subject (अनुवाद्य) gets prominence and the predicate (विधेय) अलक्ष्य gets a secondary place and hence the fault. zaferat fra: is the proper reading. Similarly in 344 which describes Parvati adjusting her girdle that was slipping down, in Fedrentaffha 'as if a second bow string of the bow of cupid )', the predicate is facta' second', but it is given a subordinate place by the compound and hence the fault.
In the following verse (345) in which # after defeating in addresses him, Bata is the predicate and as such must be placed independently. BAITAJTE should, therefore, be the emended reading.
In 346 in मध्येव्योम, व्योम is prominent and hence it must be changed into मध्ये व्योम्नः.. :. Thus we see that the fault afgezfagist occurs when there is no proper prominence given to a predicate in a sentence.
For instance, in 347 3196917 really means ' did not speak '; the emphasis is on the idea of'not' speaking, but as it stands the word means 'was mute'.
But in 348 there is no fault, for 876a: Baigt: and other adjectives go with the subject #; they are not predicates and hence do not require any prominent place. . In the verse 349 which enumerates all the merits of the forest life, the fault of sfaqesfatait lies in the whole verse, there being quite a series of faults. The whole verse has a faulty construction. The proper order of words should be शावलं शय्या; शुचिशिला आसनम्. The inverse order leads to the fault of afgezaaiat. The same fault is seen in the verse 350.
Similarly in 351 “That the lions are excited when
