32.2
Aesthetic relishes such as the furious sentiment residing in poetry are characterized by brilliance; / vigor is established resting upon the words and meanings that are the cause of their manifestation. //
32.3
For aesthetic relishes such as the furious sentiment produce supreme brilliance, that is, radiant clarity; therefore, by figurative transfer, they themselves are spoken of as brilliance. / A word whose sole purpose is to reveal it is a sentence adorned with long-compounded composition. As in:
32.4
With his hands reddened by Suyodhana's thick, clotted, congealed blood—
Suyodhana whose pair of thighs has been shattered by the strike of a fierce mace whirled by his flashing arm—
Bhīma, O queen, will braid your hair!
32.5
And meaning whose sole purpose is to reveal it does not require long-compounded composition and is expressed through lucid expressive words. As in:
Whoever carries a weapon among the armies of the sons of Pāṇḍu, puffed with excessive pride in his own arms,
whoever in the Pāñcāla clan is an infant, advanced in years, or still resting in the bed of the womb,
whoever was an eyewitness to that deed, and whoever opposes me as I move in battle:
blind with rage, I am the end even of the Ender himself of all the worlds to each and every one of them!
32.6
In such instances, both possess vigor. ||
