Prakrit Verses in Sanskrit Works on Poetics 45. This gatha provides an example of the figure Vişama (II) – where not only
is there no accomplishment of the desired object but some evil result follows or calamity occurs.
46. This gåtha is already dealt with; vide ŚP S.No. (743.186) supra. Here it is cited
as an example of the figure Vicitra, which is first defined by A'Sarvasva. The figure is so called "because it causes wonder. When, for the attainment of the
desired object, one does something contrary to it, there is the figure Vicitra. * 47. This gātha is an example of the figure Adhika : When of the support and
the supported (or the container and the contained) one is represented as vaster than the other, there is Adhika.
* 48. Vimarsins cites this gātha as an example of the figure Višeșa (III) : When
somebody, in bringing about one result, unexpectedly accomplishes something else also, which is impossible, “there is Višesa". - "3751 Dari Pori EROUN यावचिकीर्षाविरहेणासंभाव्यं तिमिरमपीति वस्त्वन्तरकरणात्मा विशेष:।" - पृ. १७३.
49. This gātha is cited as an example of the figure Vyāghāta by Sobhākara. He :
comments upon it as follows :
अत्र मदस्य विनाशकारणादपि विज्ञानादुत्पाद: वक्ष्यमाणाशक्यालङ्काराङ्गतयोपनिबद्धः। - पृ. ११३.
After citing this gāthă under the figure Aśakya he remarks : 375 fa-TSTORUNIC POSTufe Healcfa: chip para sa Paruri12ZHI Q. 994. Vimarsinīkāra disagrees with Sobhākara and expresses the view that it is not a case of the figure Vyāghāta but the figure "Vitarka", defined by Alamkārabhāṣyakāra.
* 50. According to Ruyyaka, when each preceding object is spoken of as the cause
of each succeeding one, the figure Kāraṇamālā arises. Jayaratha in his Vimarsini (p. 177) maintains that this figure occurs also when each succeeding object is the cause of each preceding one. Most probably he is indebted to Sobhākara for this view. Vide A 'Ratnākara (p. 168, 11 1-8: auktor RUTECH URIT - "Anunt yule --- 3 gora ARTTIRIR BRUTALMATIGT 1). It goes without saying that Kārana-śrrikhala (which is definitely very appropriate and significant) is the same as Karanamālā of the earlier writers on poetics.
