transitory emotions such as Vridā, Trāsa, Īrsyā, Dainya etc. The mention of these emotions, directly, is bad; but had they been indirectly stated, the fault would have been less conspicuous. This verse is cited in the Kavyaprakāśa (VII) also.
In this connection, Hemachandra notes in the gloss that if the sentiment is already developed by means of Vibhāva and Anubhāva, mere mention of the name of a particular Rasa does not offend so much. For example, in the verse "Yate dvāravatīm etc.", the Longing or Utkanthā of Rādhā is suggested by the poetic description of the Vibhāva and Anubhāva, and the mention of the word 'Sotkantha' serves to state what is already established by suggestion. By means of the word 'sobbed', the said Anubhāva is used to show the cause of it; so, the statement of this by name is not faulty.
Hemachandra has made an exception in the case of Vyabhicārin, which may sometimes be expressed by name. He, therefore, cites a verse (186), already utilized in the Kavyaprakāśa to the same effect, and this is a Nandi verse in the play Ratnāvali of Sriharsa. Hemachandra also adopts the comments of Mammața in the gloss verbatim. It means : Here the Vyabhicāribhāva or accessory Autsukya, 'Longing' is mentioned by name, because the mere mention of the ensuants or consequents would not have been equally significant (for the said consequence could have been due to causes other than Longing); hence the mention of the term Autsukya 108 is not regarded as a defect. So also in the verse "Durādutsukamāgate ... etc." (quoted by Hemachandra to illustrate the exceptional case where the accessory feeling - Autsukya etc. - al one is presented), the other, earlier, two verses represent instances of the Vibhāvas alone and the Anubhāvas alone. But here (where the other two factors are also indirectly implied, so that they do not vitiate the value of the rule or the general proposition that there should be all the factors present), though the poet has described the feelings of modesty or shyness (Vriļā), affection (Prema), etc. through
