P. 202. A. 3. S. 5.]
128
In the following line (209) the words gf and are indecent, loathesome and inauspicious respectively. is a large tree which is used as gallows for thieves and other criminals.
The next fault is, as illustrated in the verse 210. The fus, here, have rendered the sentence full of harsh words.
If, however, these harsh words, difficult to pronounce, are used deliberately to imitate the words of a child, a woman or a fool, there is no fault.
is a fault which occurs when words that are quite necessary to the context are dropped. For instance, in the verse : 'तथाभूतां दृष्ट्वा नृपसदसि पाञ्चालतनयाम्' । etc. the word : is necessary in the second line. Similarly, the word is necessary in the beginning of the fourth line. But they are not used and hence the fault of न्यूनपद Similarly in the verse 211, अपराधis wrongly used. As it is, it means what little offence "-which is absurd. The word "fq" (even) must be added to suit the context and hence the fault of न्यूनपदत्व.
Similarly, in the verse 212 we see that in a नवजलधरः इदं सुरधनुः etc. the arrangement of words is this that the form of is used with the nouns; but in the last line no form of the word accompanies the word विद्युत् ( such as इयं विद्युत्) and hence the fault. In the same manner in the verse 213:
<<
संहतचक्राव्हला विकसितकमला मृणालसंच्छन्ना । वापी वधूरिव विलिप्तस्तनका शोभते ॥
""
the उपमेयs मुख and बाहु, as against the उपमानs कमल and respectively, are not mentioned actually and hence
the fault of न्यूनपदत्व.
