words 97: and so are apparently liable to the fault of graf#ca (repetition), but all such words have now been accepted as faultless through usage and some peculiar meaning is made out of them; for instance, in ngeuf the word 9: shows that the string is actually attached to the bow.
In acofada the word of suggests that the ornament is actually on the ear.
Thus we see that FA 3790€ etc, by themselves are quite competent to express their meaning but in order to defend the compounds agruf etc. sanctioned by usage, some inner meaning is super-imposed on them according to the dictum "Figari nafara affair."
sometimes, however, repetition is necessary and adds grace to a statement as in the verse 400 da: fe repeated four times suggests the keen sense of digust about worldly things in the mind of the speaker.
In moments of excitment, repetition is no fault, according to the verse am etc. quoted below.
In fhaagath things of incongruous nature are brought together as in the verse 401, good things such as श्रुत, नय etc. are mentioned along with मदेन नारी व्यसनेन मूर्खता etc..
fabricana (contradictory sense) is a fault; as in 402. fa faca also means:-Stating something which is contrary to the real nature of things or to the established conventions.
For instance, in the verse 403, God of love is described as having a disc (77) in his hand; but this statement is against the conventions of the poets who believe that the God of love has five arrows in his hands.
In 404 it is stated that the Ashoka tree put forth sprouts on account of its being kicked by women.
