elephant, — the throne of his father, and the circle of earth's monarclis." 

 (Kaghu Vans'a.) 



Here some authors maintain that ' in the lines quoted above, the 

 natural excellence belonging to the hair, &c. is described as super- 

 natural by introsusception ; since, otherwise, if you held that the hair 

 &c. were really swallowed up by the peacock's tail, &c. [these being 

 plainly different things,] the definition would not apply in such cases 

 as the lines of § 2, " the grace of her limbs," &c. [as the grace here 

 described is not really different.]' But this view is not correct, 

 since even in this last instance the grace of her limbs, though really 

 not -different, is conceived, by introsusception, as if it were different. 

 So too, if we altered the phraseology, and read instead of " verily 

 sui generis" " as it were sui generis" it would then be a case 

 of utprekshá, since the introsusception would be no longer definitely 

 completed but only contingent and future. In the same way in the 

 example quoted in § 5, " First indeed was the mind of the fawn- 

 eyed maidens, &c," — the previous existence of the vakid blossoms, 

 &c. is lost under the idea of their posteriority ; but here too we 

 should have an instance of utprekshá if we used " as it were." And 

 so too in other cases." 



It is this last paragraph which, as we observed in the beginning of 

 the paper, is up to the present moment new to print, in spite of the 

 two editions already published of the Sáhitya Darpana. The MSS. used 

 for the collation of the text (as, for instance, that in the Sanskrit 

 College Library) were sadly deficient in this passage ; and three or 

 four lines were omitted which entirely destroyed the sense. We give 

 below a correct copy of the whole paragraph from a MS. in the 

 Society's Library. 



The printed editions read ^q^Tii^nTlfsfiW, and omit from 

 ^7%-et to ^tír^fífi^.
