२४०.१४
: छन्दोऽनुशासनम् ।
ned thief.
And this earth, with the forest trees completely dried up and its dust well heated, pines away like the mother of an imprisoned thief.
The body of the wild buffalo, who is oppressed by heat, droops down, being unable to bear any exertion, like the troubled household affairs, which require the feeding of many children and dependents, in the case of an idle man.' 64. 1.
Here is another Dvipadi :
* By the ruthless breeze, which moves about being charged with the odour of the elephant's rut, are tortured the persons who are separated from their dear ones, today, oh compassionate one, oh conqueror of your enemies, oh lord of many beloved ladies and beloved of your people !'
(Note: Every line begins with a vocative).
Now are the spots on the earth adorned by the Bandhūka flower, whose filaments are covered with pollen and which is a friend of the bees, as they (i. e., spots) are adorned by you, who are the friend of the world, oh ornament of your family'. 64. 2.
Sometimes a Vidāri is (put) between ( the two ). 65. Sometimes, in a different employment of the metre), a Vidari is placed between the Bhanga-dvipadi and the Gītikā. The definition of a Vidāri ( the author) will give later. As
"The mountains, looking darkish owing to the water-filled thundering clouds, please the mind, as they have their lovely table-lands looking wavy owing to the filaments of the fresh flowers of the Kandali plants, their topmost forests overspread with the fragrant dust of the flowering Kutaja plants, (and the interiors of their caves filled with the sweet notes of the impassioned pea-cocks.
A (loving) person, though his beloved mate is in front of him, is yet made uneasy by the breeze, which is opening the Ketaka buds und wafting with itself the pollen of the Bakula flowers.
The whole world is worshipfully offered to the god of love by the rain-cloud, which is dark like the lord of a she-elephant, which has dispersed the day-light resembling the dust, and which is prominently displaying its lightning, in the vicinity of the mountain. 65. 1.
Vidāri (is a metre, where ) there are fourteen short letters (i, e.,
Mātrās, in a Pāda ) with a long letter at the end. 66. If there are fourteen Mātrās (the last two consisting of a long letter) in a Pada, the metre is called Vidāri, 66.
