[P. 268. A. 3. S. 7.
But this goes against the poetic convention which is that Ashoka, when kicked by women, puts forth flowers.
Again in the verse 405, 7*(Lord Vishnu) is said to be extolling the wheels of the God Sun; and God Hari is said to be extolling the horses of the God Sun. But this is not at all supported by Puranas or any other work.
In short, then, the rule may be stated thus:nothing should be stated by a poet which may savour of fantanstic or imaginary or something which militates against established conventions of science, art etc.
Thus to compare a poem with the moon (see verse 406) or to describe the moon as having caused the day lotus to bloom is liable to the fault of प्रसिद्धिविरुद्धत्व.
Again in the verse 408 the 317 “f499c5" is stated to have 957H tune in it-but this is wrong, as 952# tune is totally absent in CEHT.
Similarly, to say that a Brahmin performed a 1942 sacrifice (for gras alone can do it), that enemies are conquered by enthusiasm alone, (for they are conquered by diplomacy also), that the marks of teeth in kissing were seen on the upper lip (for they are only seen on the nether lips), absolution is obtained by devotion alone (for knowledge also is the way to #18T) is wrong, as it goes against the convention of science and popular customs etc.
9 gatraca is a fault which occurs when after the completion of a certain statement it is supplemented by something unnecessary.
__For instance, in the verse लग्नं रागावृतान्या etc. विदितं ते te (be it known to you) completes the statement. But it is again supplemented by the words da etc., this is wrong.
