Chapter VIII Prakrit Verses in Kåvyaprakāśa
1. This gåtha is cited as an example where the expressed sense (vācyártha) is
suggestive (vyañjaka). The girl who addresses this stanza to her mother is a svairini – a wanton girl. Hence the suggested sense is that the girl is desirous of wanton sport (svaira-vihăra) and wants to go out for that purpose under the pretext of bringing provisions. 34fud 317 sta 34 RUTH 377EFTIRLATA
2. This gātha is cited as an example where the indicated sense is further suggestive. The context is thus stated:
F urf drei
a u trai caitafa Aruber Rulli
The suggested sense arises because of boddhavya - vaišistya (the speciality of the person addressed); the dūti (maiden messenger) showed signs of sexual intercourse on her body, such as nail - marks, tooth-bites, etc. These signs constituted her speciality from which the nāyikā knew her faithlessness. The duti instead of persuading the nayika's lover to visit the nāyikā, she herself sported with him and thus behaved like her enemy. Viparīta - laksaņā has to be resorted in understanding the second half of this gātha. WIE = i pri to tell, convey (here, message of the nãyikā) ii Hery to win over; TH1 - 'the fortunate one', 'a ladies' man, a man after whom ladies hanker ‘स खुल सुभगो यमङ्गना: कामयन्ते ।'
3. This gātha is cited as an example where the suggested sense is further suggestive : (i) अत्र निष्पन्दत्वेन आश्वस्तत्वम् । तेन च जनरहितत्वम् । अत: संकेतस्थानमेतदिति कयाचित् कंचित् प्रत्युच्यते (? ufa eteedt 1) - HHC . 30. (ii) 3era PARZIT AGRI 7 Matsura crudi - FHE, . 30. These are the two ways according to the two contexts in which Mammața explains this gātha.
4. This gātha is already dealt with. Vide ŚP S.No. (110.63) supra.
5. In order to conceal her stealthy sexual intercourse with her paramour a wanton
girl addresses this stanza to her friend wherein she attributes her perspiration and hard breathing, - really the effects of the stealthy sexual intercourse - to the exhaustion caused by her having hastily returned from the river with a big pitcher
