as in: "From the boundary, the radiant Vena uncovered..." (Taittirīya Saṃhitā 4.2.8.2); "A man and a non-man indeed"; "Surely that [gift] of yours to the singer is beyond choice" (Ṛgveda 2.11.21); "How indeed will this come to be?"; "Just so indeed, just so" (Taittirīya Āraṇyaka 1.20.1); "Even so, O Indra!"; "And then indeed they say"; "Toward us, [friends] of friends" (Ṛgveda 4.31.3); "Ah, do you think so now?" The poetic ornaments include segmented pun, chime, oblique expression, pictorial verse, alliteration, word-repetition, question-and-answer, and so forth; and their usages are as follows: "na vāryante" [they are not warded off / they end in water], "na smāryante" [they are not remembered / they end in memory], "na hasanti" [they do not laugh / they end in laughter], "na hīyante" [they are not left behind / they end in loss], "na vairāyate" [he does not act hostilely / it becomes free of enmity]—in segmented pun; "sahi aho raṇe katthatepi yonarāyā"—in multilingual pun; "yoṣitāṃ gātraṃ sa na khalūnaṃ na khalūnam"—in a verse with chime; "A weapon should certainly not be borne"—in oblique expression; "nanu homathanārādhyo dhyorā nātha maho nu na"—in pictorial verse; "sa hi mahīśo vartate"—in alliteration; "In stroke after stroke by him in battle"—in word-repetition; "Who sounded forth even from the dark? Who were you?"—in question-and-answer. "ārṣika ārpiputraka ārṣika" and the like serve to ornament Vedic sentences; as in: "atho khalu", "tvayi", "tarhi", "atha khalvetarhi", "aho nu khalu bhoḥ", "hā dhik kaṣṭaṃ bhoḥ", "so indeed said the venerable Punarvasu Ātreya", "For indeed there is no destruction of pleasant and unpleasant for one who has a body" (Chāndogya Upaniṣad 8.12.1), "Indeed, my dear, a wife is not dear for the love of a wife" (Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad 4.5.6), "You do not die indeed, nor do you perish." But the grammatical refinement of a word is twofold, having the nature of injunction and prohibition. Of these two, the injunction of a prolated vowel, the injunction of the present tense and others, and the injunction of the single subsequent vowel form are of the nature of injunction; while the prohibition of a single subsequent vowel form and others, the prohibition of continuous euphonic combination, the prohibition of word-substitution and others, and the prohibition of loss of pitch accent are [of the nature of prohibition]. Among these, by "haiheprayoge haihayoḥ", "omabhyādāne", and "brūhipreṣyaśrauṣaḍvauṣaḍāvahānāmādeḥ" (Pāṇini 8.2.84, 8.2.87, 8.2.91), there is the injunction of a prolated vowel;
