[ P. 380. A. 6. S. 13.
as a matter of fact af does never exist detached from ; therefore, here in this verse, there is no mixture of श्लेष and समासोक्ति but only समासोक्ति based on लेष.
The figure that follows occurs where there is a description of the characteristics of a thing, a person or some being. It may also contain a description of the particular pose of some person at a particular time. Verse 610 is an illustration of if which is named as af by other rhetoricians.
"The princes whose thighs were slipping from the saddles, who were adjusting the skirts of their upper garments with their hands, who were frightened by the prancing steeds, who could not control the reins of horses, who were looking about with vacant gaze, and who appeared just like Brahmins, declared as it were that their wealth was hereditary (i. e. they were not real Kshatriya warriors).
Another picture of a pose is given in verse 611:He (God Shiva ) saw cupid ready to aim at him; he (cupid) had strung the bow-string with his fist right up to his right eye; his shoulders were bent; his right knee was contracted; his bow had become almost circular. Particular action is described in verse 612:
Jain Education International
I remember (says Rati to cupid) your pose when you, taking your bow on your lap, stretched your arrow; and while doing so, you were smiling and conversing with the spring and looking about with a slanting gaze.
fa, a figure that follows, occurs when an apparently eulogistic remark is meant to be really a censure, and when apparent censure is made with the inward desire of praising a person.
