परिउचिआ ण कंपसि etc.
The gātbā, as printed, is unintelligible with some letters missing and some words making no sense. The whole verse, however, is to be identified with the gāthā (No 923) in Weber's edition. The gathā, in its corrected form and with its Sanskrit Chāyā, is given below :
परिउच्छि आ ण जपसि चुंबिज्जती बला मुहं हरसि । परिहासमाणविमुहे पसिअच्छि मणं मह दूमेसि ।।
परिपृष्टा न जल्पसि चुम्ब्यमाना बलात् मुख हरसि । [परिहासमानविमुखे प्रसृताक्षि (अथवा, मृगाक्षि) मनो मम दुनोसि ॥
We have the readings पडिउत्थिआ and पडिपच्छिआ as well. It may be noted in passing that the Sarasvatskanthabharana p 624, v. 179, (especially, the first half of this verse,) contains a similar idea :
पडिउच्छिआ ण जपइ, गहिआ विप्फुरइ चुंबिआ रुसइ ।
[परिपृष्टा न जल्पति, गृहीता विस्फुरति चुम्बिता रुष्यति ।। 13) [Mananubandho......] tatraiva vaividhyam yatha -
(p. 1007)
तीए दंसवण अहखलण.......
Now, this verse, as it stands, is very obscure but Bhoja's another work on poetics, viz, the Sarasvatikanthabharana (p. 724 v. 485) helps us to identify the verse and its source (Harivijaya) The following passage may be read with interest :
तत्र रतावुपमायाः संकरो यथा
तीए दंसणसुहए पणअक्खलणजणिओ मुहम्मि मणहरे । रोसो वि हरइ हिअअ मअपंको व्व मिअलंछणम्मि णिसण्णो ॥ [तस्या दर्शनसुभगे प्रणयस्खलितजनितो मुखे मनोहरे । 1 [रोषोऽपि हरति हृदयं मदपङ्क इव मृगलाञ्छने निषण्णः ॥ अत्रोपमातिरस्कारेण रसवतो हरेर्वचसि वागारम्भरूपे रुक्मिणीप्रदत्त पारिजातमञ्जरीविलोकनप्रभवं सत्यभामाया रोषरामणीयकं प्राधान्यतः प्रतीयते ।
