THE BHASHA-BHUSHANA OF JAS'WANT SINGH.
307
Translation,
The Olimax. [Sahitya-darpana, 731.]
A succession of objects gradually rising in excellence is termed the Climax, as for example: -
Nectar is sweeter than honey, and poetry is surpassingly sweeter (than nectar).'
rothor writers add (1) #climax of inferiority, and (c) a climax of mixed inferiority and excellence, thus Padmakara-bhatta gives the following examples of these two varieties in the Padmábharana, 182, 183:(6) Bahu ayudha k& ghata ta.
dusaha vajra ko páta 1 Tá ké páta-hu té. dusaha
khala-mukha niknsi bata 11 (c) Kathina katha tế: ati kaẸhina ya jaga mé' pashána!
Pashuna-hu tê kathina yé téré uraja su jánn 11 (6) More unbearable than the wounds of many weapons is the fall of the thunderbolt. More unbearable even than the fall of the thunderbolt, are the words which issue from the mouth of the wicked.'
(c) Much harder than hard wood, in this world, is stone. Know thy bosom to be harder (firmer) even than stone.)

Relative Sequence. Not in Sahitya-darpana or this Bhasha-bhúshana. The above definition is taken from the Bhúshá-bhúshana of 'Sri-dhara Ojha.
It is Relative sequence when acts are described) as occurring in order, as for example:Bihári-satsaí, 107 :Toh kau chhuta mdna gau
dékhata-hi Vraja-raja ! i Rahi ghari 'ka lau* mana si
mana kiyê ki lája 11 142 11 When thine eyes fell upon Kộishņa, thy wrath against him at once vanished; bat for & shile thou appearest like one full of wrath, through shame at having been wrathfal.'
On this the Lála-chandrika says, -Kramálankára spashta hai Mána kiyê ki lája sé mana rakkhá li'
