1.495
mukhyaṃ bhaya-hāsyajaṃ, yathā-
kṣetrādhīśa-śunā navena vikṛtākāraika-vidveṣiṇā
ghorārāvam abhidrutasya vikaṭaiḥ paścāt padair gacchataḥ |
pā pā pāhi phahīti satvarataraṃ vyastākṣaraṃ jalpato
dṛṣṭvā bhṛṅgiriṭer daśāṃ paśupatiḥ smerānanaḥ pātu vaḥ ||
Primary fear-induced laughter, for example: / Pursued with dreadful howls by the temple dog, recently arrived, which detests any deformed appearance, / retreating backwards with clumsy strides, / stammering hurriedly in confused syllables: “S-s-save, p-protect!”— / seeing Bhṛṅgiriṭi in this state, may the smiling-faced Paśupati protect you!
1.495.p1
atra bhṛṅgiriṭer vikṛtākāreṇa vikaṭa-paścād-gamanena pāhi pāhi pāhīty atra varṇa-vyatyāsa-bhāṣaṇena janitasya paśupati-hāsasyānya-rasānaṅgatayā mukhyaṃ bhaya-hāsyajam |
Here, because the laughter of Paśupati—caused by Bhṛṅgiriṭi's deformed appearance, his clumsy backward walking, and his uttering letters topsy-turvy as in 'Save me, save me, save me!'—is not subordinate to any other aesthetic sentiment, it is the primary [variety] arising from fear and laughter.
1.495.p2
vācā anya-rasāṅgaṃ bhaya-hāsyajaṃ, yathā ratnāvalyām-
Subordinate to another aesthetic sentiment by speech arising from fear and laughter, as in the Ratnāvalī:
1.495.p3
vidūṣakaḥ-kahaṃṇa kido pasādo devīe ja ajjaṃ biakkhada-sarīrā ciṭṭhahma | (kathaṃ na kṛtaḥ prasādo devyā yad adyāpy akṣata-śarīrās tiṣṭhāmaḥ |)
Vidūṣaka: 'How has the Queen not been gracious, seeing that we are standing here today with our bodies still unbroken?'
