74 (iv) Kopa-nimitta (p. 67, 1, 27): Bhratur bhratruyam unmathya pasyamy asyasyg ahavel partijnaya yatha Bhimas tat cakaravaso rusa // 1 Bhima took a vow that he would drink the gore of his brother's ( Yudhisthira's ) enemy after having killed him in the battle. He then carried out this vow in a seat of anger. Here the vow to wreak vergence on the enemy is taken through wrath, hence the Pratijna is Kopa-nimitta. (p. 67, 1. 22) * Pratijna should not be made for any purpose other than those mentioned above nor should it be abandoned, otherwise it would be a defective Pratijna (Pratijnabhasa). Thus, when it does not have anything to be achieved, or when the thing sought to be achieved is already achieved, or when it is abandoned, 3 Pratijnabhasa results. The ill. of Dharma-badhini is not traceable in Viveka, 4 (p. 67, 1. 25): The ill. of. Artha-badhini : Ahuto na nivarte'han dyutayeti Yudhisthirah/ krtva sandham Sakunina didevety artha-badhini // 5 Yudhisthira vowed not to return to gambling and yet he played at dice with Sakuni. The vow was not carried out and consequently he lost his kingdom. Thus it is against Artha. The ills. of Kama-budhini 6 and Kopa.badhini ? Pratijnas are not traceable in Viveka. (p. 67, 1. 26) Sometimes Pratijna is implied and not stated in so many words. The ill. is (p. 67, 1, 26): kim indriya-dvisam jeyam, ko nirakriyate'rthibhih / ko va gatvaram arthibhyo, na yacchati dhanam laghu // 8 (p. 68, 1. 1) Here 'kim' expresses question, but it indicates (laksanaya) the senses of 'contempt' for or 'disapprobation' of the enthusiasm regard1.

The reading here is better : ARTE ETA Prof. Tatacharya reads FETAH' but notes (3. T. p.121) that the reading "faut GTA found elsewhere is better. The gen, plu. f.914 in Viveka is better than the Inst, sing fear in 8. E.
