directly expressed in a sentence (area ), the reply (of हेमचन्द्र ) is that in that case the ध्वनि will not be a रसध्वनि, the highest kind of ध्वनि. and will climb down to the level of Tuftugue, but it can never degenerate to the level of a figure of speech which is mere 9124. ... (6) With the same line of argument it can be decided that a sentiment or feeling even though snbordinated to another sentiment or feeling can never come down to the level of area (that is, it can not be a figure of speech ). Hence the figures tha, Jag fina, A1an and the like have to be summarily rejected.
(7) aurait: is no figure of speech really, for it is nothing but saying something that is pleasing. But if this figure suggests some feeling or emotion, it will be elevated to the rank of a गुणीभूतव्यङ्गय.
(8) Lastly, the figure seraita. ( which occurs when a person, unable to retaliate his enemy, tries to wreak vengence on him by molesting a person belonging to the enemy's party ) is no seperate figure of speech. But it may be included under the head of Ezich8T or gatzareta (Indirect conceit ).
For instance, in the famous illustration of settes, 'त्वं विनिर्जितमनोभवरूपः सा च सुन्दर भवत्यनुरका । पञ्चभियुगपदेव शरैस्तां तापयत्यनुशयादिव कामः ॥'
“ The cupid, not tolerating that she is devoted to you who have conquered him with your handsome form, is tormenting her in wrath by means of his sharp arrows etc.”
Here add the words 'as it were' after not tolerating’, and the whole verse would appear to be an instance of local. (indirect cat, because there is no such word as इव.)
1 saata has, therefore, no seperate place in the figures of speech enumerated: here.
