222 The tentli Boolc of the Sáhitya Barpana. [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,' but in the case 

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

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



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

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



sweet odonr is something utterly diíferent ; 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'í. 



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

 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, créate 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 Nárá- 

 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 forcé of the particle " if," the idea is hypothetically 

 suggested of a possible connection between the subject and the object 

 introduced. 



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

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

 the cause, and b. 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 vakul (mimusops elengi)."f 



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