Prakrit Verses in Sanskrit Works on Poetics
word. Dr. Ghatage remarks : "only two may be seriously considered 'विह्वलाङ्गाम्' and "विशृङ्खलाम्'. The second is better : Unbridled, wanton"..
29. In this stanza we have the figure Kāvyalinga (Poetic Reason) — which is implied
in the term para-vahua (= paravadhah). It suggests the figure Aksepa (Paralipsis) implying : “You neglect young girls or women like me, and run after old women - who are the wives of other men- this your behaviour is simply beyond words.".
30. This gātha is already dealt with; vide VJ S.No. (20.23) supra. Kuntaka thus
comments on it : अत्र समानेऽपि हि स्थगनप्रयोजने साध्ये सामान्ये च लोचनत्वे, देव्या: परिचुम्बनेन यस्य निरोध: संपद्यते तद्भगवतस्तृतीयनयनं जयति सर्वोत्कर्षेण वर्तत इति वाक्यार्थः। अत्र जयतीति क्रियापदस्य किमपि सहृदयहृदयसंवेद्यं वैचित्र्यं परिस्फुरदेव लक्ष्यते । - पृ. ३२. Mammata briefly comments : अत्र जयतीति न तु शोभते इत्यादि । समानेऽपि हि स्थगनव्यापारे लोकोत्तरेणैव व्यापारेणास्य पिधानमिति तदेवोत्कृष्टम् । - पृ. १६९.
31. Read against the first line (p. 174). The suggestion here lies in the genitive ending
in 'नागरिकाणाम्' (of city-women).

32. Read : ---- गुणग्रहणादीनां प्रेमहेतूनां बहुविधत्वेऽपि (नानाप्रकारत्वेऽपि) कार्यं प्रेमैकजातीयमेव न
कदाचिदन्यथाभावं प्राप्तमिति बहवचनैकवचनाभ्यां व्यज्यते। तेन च विप्रलम्भोत्कर्षो व्यङ्ग्य इति प्रदीपादौ स्पष्टम्। -बालबोधिनी, पृ. १७६.
33. This gāthā is already dealt with; vide DHV S.No. (50.16) supra. The context
is the same in both the texts. Mammața thus comments on it : 3711974: किमुपभोगलक्षणेऽर्थान्तरे संक्रमित: किमनुरणनन्यायेनोपभोगे एव व्यङ्ग्ये व्यञ्जक: इति संदेहः। - पृ. १८७-१८८.

35. This gatha is already dealt with; vide DHV S.No. (5.7) supra. Mammata cites
