hā Caitraratha bā vāpi hā Mandakini ha priye / ity artā vilapanto 'pi gāṁ patanti divaukasaḥ //
[Saundara-Nanda, 11/50] krstvā gāṁ paripālya ca śrama-śatair ašnoti sasya-śriyam yatnena pravigāhya sāgara-jalam ratna-śriyā kridati / satrūņām avadhūya vīryam işubhir bhunkte narendra-śriyam tad vīryam kuru śāntaye viniyatam vīrye hi sarvardhayaḥ //
[Saundara-Nanda, 16/98] nityam sa supta (i)va yasya na buddhir asti nityam sa matta iva yo dhịtiviprahīna (h)
[Sāriputra-prakaraṇa, fig. no.
(K) 1, obverse side, 1. 4] But there are some pedantic and enigmatic verses in Asvaghosa's : kāvyas. Some examples might be cited below
avendravad divy ava sa svad arkavad guņair ava śreya ihāva gām ava / avāyur āryair ava sat-sutān ava śriyaś ca rājann ava dharmam atmanah //
[Buddha-carita, 11/70] In this verse the same verb-form "ava" in lot-hi has been used nine times in nine different senses, viz., i) kānti, ii) dīpti, iii) prīti, iv) icchā, (v) raksaņa, vi) avāpti, vii) vặddhi, viii) ālingana and ix) yācana.
babhūva sa hi samvegaḥ śreyasas tasya vỉddhaye / dhātur edhir ivākhyāte pathito kşara-cintakaiḥ 11.
[Saundara - Nanda, 12/9) himāri-ketudbhava-sambhaväntare yatha dvijo yāti vimokşayams tanum himāri-satru-kşaya-satru-ghātane tathāntare yāhi vimokşayan manaḥ || [Buddha-carita, 11/71)
[himāri=śaitya-satru agni; ketu=patākā: himāri-ketu--dhüma; tadudbhava=megha: tat-sambhava=vrsti, dvija=arani-dvaya-jāta agni; himäri- śaitya-satru sürya; tac-satru=tamas; tat-kşaya=tamo-naśa; tacšatru=vighna; tad-ghātana=vighna-pradhvamsa.2 ]
ekam vininye sa jugopa sapta saptaiva tatyāja rarakṣa pañca/ prapa tri-vargam bubudhe tri-vargam jajñe dvi-vargam prajahau dvi-vargam ||
[ Buddha-carita, 2/41]
