cited in the viveka, the word Punah should have been used after the word Tena, as Hemachandra aptly observes.
Again in the verse (241) 'Śaktiḥ ... etc.', 'Itthari procyeva" instead of 'Procyevettham' should be the correct arrangement. The next verse (242) (Your sword (beloved) has embraced the enemies and is polluted by untouchables (elephants).., etc.) contains the figure Vyājastuti, because herein, though the king. is apparently censured, yet he is inwardly praised. In this verse, says Hemachandra, 'Iti Sriniyogat' should have been the correct way to arrange the fourth line so as to avoid the fault of Asthānapada.
On tbe use of the Enclitic
On this word sra, Hemachandra elaborates in the viveka. commentary (p. 211) by reproducing the Samgrahaślokas (33-35 ) from the second Chapter of Mahimbhatt's Vyaktiviveka to which source he is considerably indebted in this chapter (111) of the Kāvyānusaana. The point made in these smi#s, which recapitulate the preceding exposition, is : "The enclitic Iti marks off the statement intended in a sentence. Hence nothing other than the statement of the nature of the thing should be placed before this 'Iti'. Just as the attribute resides in the possessor of that attribute and so finds mention after it, so also words like Iti, etc. impart their limiting (enclitic) function or attribute to the word after which they come. Thus Iti etc. (indeclinables) should be used in the proper place. Because, if this propriety of order is not observed, then, the marking off of the things so intended will not be done, and some other unexpected object will be marked off; and, this will lead to absurdity of sense. Indeclinables like ittham, Evam, etc., should be treated like other enclitics of the same type. Indeclinables. like 'ca' etc. pinpoint the sense of that word after which they occur; otherwise, confusion of sense results. (If it is urged that this delimiting of the functions of Iti etc. is due to Aucitya or propriety, then we say this is pointless because this function
