5.p2.7

Injunction is, for example: / That very radiant beauty, that very valor, that very natural loftiness— / the prince did not differ from his cause, like a flame brought forth from a lamp. // Restriction is, for example: / "Smite the haughty women in the daytime; [in the night?] those separated from their lovers..." / In this way the arrival of the clouds, as it were, infused its voice into the voice of the peacocks on every mountain. // Prohibition is, for example: / The sky was not brought to its proper clarity; the darkness was not dispelled from the great mountains; / and light was not scattered upon the directions; yet the night was adorned by the cool-rayed moon. // 5.23. If there is the obtaining of an accessory cause at the time of arising, then the sense of accompaniment is threefold: denoted, implied, and intervened. Among these, denoted is of two kinds: by the word 'saha' and by its synonym. The first of the two is, for example: / O slender-thighed woman, does your mind take delight in sporting together with this royal youth / in the succession of gardens shaken by the breeze from the waves of the Śiprā? // The second is, for example: / Together with him, on the shores of the ocean where palm groves rustle, / with the drops of sweat removed by the winds bearing clove blossoms brought from distant islands... // Implied is also of two kinds: from a grammatical case ending, and from a particle. The first of the two is, for example: / Having attended to the affairs of the citizens in due time, he made love with the daughter of the king of Videha, / having made her lovely body present, as if with Lakṣmī herself eager for enjoyment. // The second is, for example: / The Creator supreme and the Person visibly manifest with the mark of Śrī followed him, / increasing his greatness with the word "Victory!", like two [priests] increasing fire with an oblation. // 5.14. Intervened is also of two kinds: by pervasion and by apportionment. 'For things accompanied by actions, qualities, and substances are intended by a speaker to be pervaded simultaneously, and only accompanied things are apportioned. The word 'artha', however, may also denote cessation, as in: "smoke serves the purpose of [averting] gnats".' Among these, by pervasion is, for example: / The bee, whose thirst was increased by her fragrant breath, wandering near her bimba-red lip, / she warded off at every moment with a lotus grasped in a hand, her glance wavering in agitation.
