[P. 367. A. 6. S. 9.
Sometimes, however, in one and the same shif there is both praise and censure as in the verse following (564).
The poet first condemns ordinary hogs by saying that they are given birth to by their unfortunate mothers only to uproot the lotus plants, to make the earth uneven and to make the waters of a pond turbid with mud; but he praises the blessed mother of that Hog (the third incarnation of Vishnu ) on whose tusk rested the earth in calamity, the tusk which was drenched by four oceans. Here we find both fala and Paral. Sometimes in 3777if we find neither, as in the verse 565.
“Oh! how vast, glorious and all enduring is the form of the ocean! In one of its corners lies down God Vishnu, in another, is the city of his enemies (that is the demons ); at another place the bird-like mountains (the winged mountains ) are hiding themselves; still in another of its corners, is the submarine fire along with the fires that work destruction of the world.”
Here the dominant feeling is one of wonder and the minor notes of praise and censure are merged in it.
The figure rafaieti
Where the suggested sense (299) is expressed not in a straight way but in a picturesque way, there the figure is पर्यायोक्त. In अन्योक्ति the suggested sense is not expressed, but it is simply implied through the apparent meaning, hence the difference between these two figures.
Verse 566 is an instance of fit.
भीष्म showed the path of righteousness to परशुराम the sage who was going astray and who was swayed
