222 The tenth Booh of the Sahitya Darpana. No. 3, 



" The lover also had raga in her youth as well as her leaf-like 

 lower lip." 



Here raga in the case of the lip means ' redness,' hut in the case 

 of the lover ' affection' [from the root ranj having these two signi- 

 fications] ; hut the two meanings are rhetorically treated as identical. 



2. ' Difference in identity' may be seen in the following : — 



" The grace of her limbs is wholly sui generis, — the wealth of her 

 sweet odour is something utterly different ; the freshness of her with 

 the eye like a lotus-leaf is indeed supernatural." 



3. " Disconnection in connection ;" as in these lines from the 

 Vikramorvas'i. 



" Say, was it the moon, the giver of beauty, who was the Prajapati

 love ? or was it the month that is richest with flowers ? How indeed 

 could an ancient sage, cold with continued study of the Vedas, and 

 his desires turned away from all objects of sense, create this mind- 

 ravishing form ?" 



Here the idea of disconnection is produced, in spite of the real 

 connection which did exist between her creation and the sage Nara- 

 yana [who actually produced her.]* 



4. Connection in disconnection ; as in the following : 



" If two lotuses were planted in the disk of the moon, then her 

 fair-eyed face would be exactly imitated." 



Here by the force of the particle " if," the idea is hypothetieally 

 suggested of a possible connection between the subject and the object 

 introduced. 



5. The violation of priority and posteriority in cause and effect 

 can happen in two ways, — a. in the production of the effect before 

 the cause, and i. the occurrence of both at the same time. 



a. " First indeed was the mind of the fawn-eyed maidens be- 

 wildered with regret, and afterwards appeared the beauty of the 

 opening buds of the mango and vahul (mimusops elengi)."f 



b. " Two things were seized together by the hero treading like an
