THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
(NOVEMBER, 1894.
[Here a heroine addresses her companion. The sport which she imagines she saw took place long before. She had been sporting with her beloved, and had imagined herself as sporting with Kộishṇa in the olden time. According to some authorities the mention of Krishộa is a reference to the future, she saw, in her mind's eye, the sport which Krisliga would carry out at some future time.]

Udattalankara. Upalakshana kari sádhiai
adhikai so udatta! Saba já kê vaša kota hai
sunai tanaka-si báta 11 192 11 Translation.
The Exalted. [Sahitya-darpaņa, 752. The definition is, however, quite different.]
When, from a petty sample, greater things are inferred (than would be expected from the words taken explicitly), it is the figure of the Exalted; as for example :
All go and become subject to him, on hearing but a few words.' (Here it is implied that the few words had very great power to produce such an effect and it is left to be inferred how wonderful would be the result of a long oration. Ex pede Heroulem is an example of this figure.]
[The Sdhitya-darpana definition is as follows: – The description of supermundane prosperity (lokátisaya-saripatti), or an action of great persons (represented) collaterally to the subject in hand (prastutasya-anga), is termed the exalted. Other modern writers closely agree. Thus Giridhara-dåsa, Bharati-bhrishana, 340 and ff.:Slághaniya jô charita 86
αλφα αura kό λδει Aru ali sainpati varanibo
hai udátta vidhi dói II 1928 11 Yathá:Muni-jana dhyávahi jásu pada
darsana pávahi rancha Té kubja ke bhavana me
rájata baiļhé mancha II 192b ! Tó ghara tai darahi jani
dhári manina buhári I Tina té bhé naga-naga ghane
lakhahu méru anuhari Il 1920 11 It is the Exalted (a) when a praiseworthy action takes place collaterally with something else, and (6) when excessive prosperity is described ; as for example:
(a) He, whose feet the saints meditate on and see but seldom, is in the hunchbacked girl's house, glorious, seated on her bed.'
(6) From thy house the maid-servants sweep out jewels, which have been laid aside. And so, they have become heaps of previous stones, resembling Mount Meru.' So also Padmábharaṇu, 267.]

Atyuktyalankara. Alankara atyukti yaha
varanata atisaya rúpa Yachaka térê dúna tê.
bhal kalpa-taru, bhupa | 1931 Translation.
Exaggeration, (Not in Sahitya-darpana.]
Where a description is made in a manner which is excessive, it is Exaggeration; as for example: -
O king, the very beggars (at thy door) through thy generosity have become trees of Plenty (granting every wish).'
• Comm, upalakshana kahai kachhu arhbu kuri kai.
