Rasarnavasudhakara 3.141

3.141

atha prarocanā-
siddhavad bhāvino' rthasya sūcanā syāt prarocanā ||

Now, foretokening (prarocanā):
Foretokening is the indication of a future event as if already accomplished.

3.141.p1

67a

3.141.p2

yathā tatraiva aṣṭamāṅke [8.16 padyād anantaram], karaṅkaḥ (janāntikam)-sakhe kañkāla devaḥ kumbhakarṇaṃ prabodhayati | na punar ātmānam | kiṃ ca prayatnena bodhito' py asau rāmeṇa punaḥ śāyitavya eva |

As in that very work, in the eighth act, Karaṅka (aside): "Friend Kaṅkāla, His Majesty awakens Kumbhakarṇa, but not himself. Moreover, though awakened with effort, he is surely to be put to sleep again by Rāma."

3.141.p3

kaṅkālaḥ-maṇṇe bibhīsaṇaṃ bajjia sabbassa bi esā gaī | [manye vibhīṣaṇaṃ varjayitvā sarvasyāpy eṣā gatiḥ |]

Kaṅkāla: "I think that, with the exception of Vibhīṣaṇa, this is the destiny of everyone."

3.141.p4

karaṅkaḥ-tathaiva | ity atra bhaviṣyataḥ kumbhakarṇādi-rākṣasa-nāśasya kaṅkāla-karaṅkābhyāṃ siddhavat niścitya sūcanāt prarocanā |

Karaṅka: "Just so." Here, because Kaṅkāla and Karaṅka indicate the future destruction of demons such as Kumbhakarṇa by ascertaining it as if already accomplished, this is foretokening.
