yathā-
śrī-siṃha-kṣiti-nāyakasya ripavo dhāṭī-śruter ākulāḥ
śuṣyat-tālu-puṭaṃ skhalat-pada-talaṃ vyālokayanto diśaḥ |
dhāvitvā katham apy upetya tamasā gāḍhopagūḍhāṃ guhām
anviṣyanti tad-antare' pi kara-saṃsparśena gartāntaram ||
For example:
Agitated upon hearing of an assault by the illustrious King Siṃha,
the enemies, looking around in all directions with parched palates and stumbling feet,
have run and somehow reached a cave deeply enveloped in darkness,
and even inside it, they search for another pit by touching with their hands.
2.503.p1
atra nāyaka-pratibhūpatināṃ bhayaṃ tad-dhāṭī-śravaṇādinoddīpitaṃ vyākulatva-tālu-śoṣa-pada-skhalanādy-anumitair āvega-śaṅkātrāsādibhir vyabhicāribhir upacitaṃ palāyana-guhā-praveśa-gartāntarānveṣaṇādibhir anubhāvair anubhūyamānaṃ bhayānakatvena niṣpadyate |
Here, the fear of the rival kings against the hero, stimulated by hearing of his assault and the like, augmented by transitory emotional states such as agitation, apprehension, and panic inferred from their distress, parched palates, and stumbling feet, and experienced through consequents such as flight, entering a cave, and searching for another pit, is consummated as the fearful sentiment.
2.503.p2
kecit samāna-balayo rasayoḥ saṅkaraṃ viduḥ | 254
Some hold that there is a commingling of two aesthetic sentiments of equal strength. (254)
