225 (P. 391. A 6. S. 26. " You must have fallen at her feet, for there appear marks of red lac on your forehead."
Again in verse 636 : 'She must have got the waist, otherwise what can support her bulky breasts?'
In 637 from the closing of the lotus, night is inferred and hence the figure is अनुमान.
It should be noted that this verse is given by many rhetoricians as an instance of-SATSEK a figure which occurs when something subtle is suggested by some subtle action (here the closing of lotus petals).
The figure fara is necessarily based on resemblance: 'He saw a flock of hopping esa birds and was reminded of the eye-glances of his beloved' (638).
If after seeing a similar thing a man actually identifies it with the thing that is uppermost in his mind and acts in a strange manner under the illusion, then the figure is भ्रान्तिमान्.
The bees thought or rather mistook the eyes of the woman for lotuses and began to hover round them. (639).
When no desired fruit is gained by a person, but, on the other hand, he meets with a disaster, the figure is fq.
“I surveyed her for pleasure but got, instead, longing, agony etc." ( 640 )
When two mutually fitting things are united the figure is AA. Both things are either good or bad.
In the verse 641, a handsome person is described to have been united with a beautiful damsel – both of them being excellent.
But in 642 the crows and the bitter fruits of fara tree come together - a fitting union again!
