Þ. 385. A. 6. S. 20. 1 222 when a particular statement is corroborated by a general statement. Thus the case of a general statement being corroborated by a particular statement does not come under this figure, as has been clearly discussed before.
Verse 622 is an instance in point. Even though he was hostile to Krishna, he admired him (Krishna), naturally because great men are admirers of merits, even when they happen to be hostile by some reason or other.
Verse 623 is an instance of 379fagfe in which the particular statement is supported by the general one in an indirect manner.
"A woman, though drinking wine, did not get tipsy, for she was afraid lest her husband would in that case transfer his love to another woman" is a particular statement; now the direct general statement following would be:
Disturbed mind is not susceptible to inebriation', but, instead of this, we find the indirect statement: it is in a happy condition of mind alone that a man gets tipsy.
Here is a figure where some doubt is expressed about a thing in hand. It must, of course, be based on resemblance. Very often the figure stands on the basis of another figure (Beitratiaffertor). It is of two kinds:
(1) When the doubt is dispelled in the end. (2) When the doubt persists even to the last.
When one doubt is removed, the poet gives reason of his being free from doubt.
But sometimes he gives no reason of his freedom from doubt.
