The second is as follows: "Sluggish with recent opening, unable to face the radiance of the jewel lamps, / heavy with its own movement, with drops of water produced by yawns and stretchings of the limbs, / wishing to leave the couch that has the mark of the serpent \[Śeṣa\] and the pillow of the round horizon, / red from the interruption of sleep, slightly closed—may Hari's gaze protect you for a long time!" Here, in the \*Mudrārākṣasa\*, when the Kaumudī festival has been forbidden by Cāṇakya and Rākṣasa is scheming, the bard, reciting auspicious morning verses, secretly informs Candragupta that the autumn has arrived. 8.2. Now, logical \[expectancy\] (\*naiyāyikī\*). Where a previously spoken sentence is adjusted and applied to another meaning by clever speakers and the like through conjecture (\*ūha\*), they consider that conjectural logical \[expectancy\] (\*ūhanaiyāyikī\*). As follows: Kālidāsa, being asked by Vikramāditya, "What is the lord of Kuntala doing?", said: "Because of slight smiling, as if washed by luster; because of budded eyes, with blue lotus ear-ornaments clearly visible— / having laid his burdens upon you, the lord of the Kuntalas drinks the nectar-fragrant faces of his beloveds." Vikramāditya, having conjectured from this very \[verse\], replied: "Let the lord of the Kuntalas, having laid his burdens upon me, drink the nectar-fragrant faces of his beloveds!" Where words are rearranged according to the order of sense when connection is impossible through the order of reading, that is inverted logical \[expectancy\] (\*viparyayanaiyāyikī\*). As follows: "Feeding on fallen leaves of trees by oneself is said to be the highest stage of asceticism; / she, however, cast aside even that; therefore those who know the past call that sweet-speaking lady 'Aparṇā' ('leafless')." Here, the words are construed inverted as: "therefore those who know the past call that sweet-speaking lady Aparṇā." Where, in the use of words of equivalent sense, modifier and modified are construed by changing the grammatical case, that is case-variation logical \[expectancy\] (\*vipariṇāmanaiyāyikī\*). - [Previous: 8.p1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.alamkara.rasa.srngaraprakasa~en-mt.8.p1.2) - [Next: 8.p1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.alamkara.rasa.srngaraprakasa~en-mt.8.p1.4) - [Up: 8.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.alamkara.rasa.srngaraprakasa~en-mt.8.p1) ## Linked texts (1) - [Śṛṅgāraprakāśa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.alamkara.rasa.srngaraprakasa.8.p1.3) — Bhoja, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.alamkara.rasa.srngaraprakasa~en-mt.8.p1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.alamkara.rasa.srngaraprakasa~en-mt.8.p1.3) · Pramāṇa
