it : अत्र मुखे चन्द्रप्रकारकज्ञानोक्तेर्भ्रान्तिमान् ।---
92.600. This gatha is already dealt with; vide A'Sarvasva-Vimarsini S.No. (17.439)
supra. In this gātha the lover mistakes the rays of the moon blended with the rays of sapphires in the necklace of his beloved as her sparkling tears mixed with the collyrium in their eyes; hence it is cited as an example of the figure Bhrantiman. Visvesvara remarks : . अत्र कर्णाभरणे नीलकिरण-मिश्रितचन्द्रमयूखेषु सकज्जलाश्रुत्वज्ञानम् । पृ. ३८८.
93.600. Viśveśvara cites this gātha as an example of the figure Bhrāntimān with
the introductory remark : "क्वचिदन्योन्यविशेष्यकभिन्नप्रकारको यथा-". After citing it, he further remarks : अत्र महिषस्य भुजङ्गे नदीस्रोतस्त्वज्ञानम् । भुजंगस्य महिषलालायां सरस्त्वज्ञानम्, तश्च महिषे कृष्णप्रस्तरत्वप्रकारकभ्रममूलमिति ज्ञातव्यम् । पृ. ३८८.
94.600. Visvesvara cites this verse as an example of the figure Pratipa, to be specific,
of the first kind of Pratipa wherein the Upamāna is condemned. This condemnation takes the form of the representation of its uselessness by declaring that the Upameya is able very effectively to perform the work of the Upamāna.
Visvesvara remarks : अत्र कर्पूरमञ्जर्या लावण्येन पङ्क (?चम्पक-) कलिकादीनामाक्षेप : । - पृ. ३९१.
95.600. Viśveśvara cites this gāthā as an example of the figure Pratīpa, to be more
specific, of the second kind of Pratīpa, wherein the upamāna itself is imagined to be the upameya in order to bring out its censure. In this case the full-orbed moon, the well-known upamāna, does not attain to similarity with your face (the face of nāyikā), the upameya. Viśveśvara comments on this gātha thus : अत्र चन्द्रस्य मुखप्रतियोगिकसादृश्या निष्पत्तिर्वाच्या ।
96.601. This gātha is already dealt with; vide ŚP S.No. (363.118) supra.
Viśveśvara cites this gātha in the context of refuting the view of Appayya Diksita stated in Kuvalayananda यत्तु मतम् - "वस्तुद्वयस्य लक्षणद्वयसाम्यात् केनचिद् बलीयसा स्वरूपतिरोधाने मीलितम् स्वरूपप्रतीतावपि गुणसाम्याद् भेदतिरोधाने सामान्यम् इति । तदप्यसत् । "गम्मिहिसि तस्सपासं---" इत्यादौ स्वरूपप्रतीतेरभावात् ।
