TILAKAMANJARĪ OF DHANAPALA
व: पौरुषावलेपो बलवता देवेन, दूरं गतोऽसौ, तदलमेतच्चिन्तया, कुरुत सांप्रतकालोचितं कृत्यम्। अद्यैव कमलगुप्त पुरस्कृत्य यात साकेतम्, अर्पयताधिकारिणामत्र यत्किंचिदर्जितं कुमारेण द्रव्यजातम् आराधयत मुक्त्वा छद्मपादपद्मद्वयं कौशलेन्द्रस्य। मुंचत च सर्वात्मना मय्यपेक्षाम् अहं हि प्रथम दर्शन एव दैवेन भृत्यतां कुमारस्यानीत: न तद्विरहितेन मया क्षणमपीहस्थातव्यम।।
Tarangalekhā's reprimand to Malayasundarī unconscious by the poisonous Kimpāka fruit smacking of fury also represents the Raudra sentiment.
Adbhuta or the marvellous or wonder based on astonishment is represented by the complete plot of the romance in which the incidents of Vidyadhara sage, Vaimānika, Sri's appearance, the loss of Harivāhana through the divine elephant, the conversion of Gandharvaka into parrot, the motif of the Niśītha scarf, the miraculous rites of Harivāhana etc. are all full of astonishment. Meghavāhana's marvel on seeing the wonder boy Samaraketu speaks of Adbhuta rasa.
''वत्स! स्वागतं ते, साधुकृतं यदत्रागतोऽसि अनेन तव निसर्गसुन्दरेण दृष्टमात्रेण देहाकारेण पुरुष णैव श्रुतेन श्रोत्रमानन्दितं मे किमपि नेत्रयुग्मम्, धन्यस्त्वमेको जगति यस्मादुपजातजन्मनः पराजयं विजयमिव सभासु शंसति प्रीतिविकसिताक्षो विपक्षलोकः, तोकमुपजनयता भवन्तमस्तोकसंचितसंभारेण धारितो धुरि समस्तानां पुत्रिणामात्मा महात्मना सिंहलेश्वरेण।
Bhayānaka has been represented by Vampire described as an example of all the terrors of the triad of worlds.
''निदर्शनमिवाशेषत्रिभुवनभीषणानाम्' 4
The tumultuous din of the celestial dames heard by Meghavāhana immediately after he had taken up his sword to chop his own head off, bursting it did the auricular passage is equally terrifying. "श्रवणविवरमाध्मायन्तमश्रुतपूर्वममरसुन्दरीजनस्य हाहारवमशृणोत्" Vajrayudha became a source of terror for the people of Kāñcī in so far as he had blocked all the sources of supplies and reinforcements and his armies were arrayed like the whirling clusters of rain clouds.
