GLOSSARY
adhika
adhika (1), *superabundant': (1) a figure wherein two contraries are said
to proceed from the same cause. (2) R 9.26 (27). (3) muñcati vāri
payodo jvalantam analam ca yat tad āścaryam / udapadyata niranidher
vişam amṛtam cêti tac citram (Rudrața; a reference to the creation
myth wherein the primeval ocean gave forth both deadly poison
and the Gods' sustinence: "It is amazing that the clouds release both
blazing fire and water; that both poison and nectar emerge from
the watery sea"). (4) "The long, winding intricate sentences, with
their vast burden of subtle and complicated qualifications, befogged
the mind like clouds, and like clouds, too, dropped thunderbolts**
(Lytton Strachey).
adhika (II): (1) a figure wherein a thing is said to exceed or surpass in
size or grandeur its own basis or container. (2) R 9.28 (29), M 195.
(3) aho viśālam bhūpāla bhuvanatritayódaram । māti mātum aśak yo'pi
yaśorāśir yad atra te (Mammața; the king's glory cannot be con-
tained even by the three worlds; the example is also found in Daṇḍin
2.219 for the term ādhik ya atiśayôkti, q. v.). (4) "... warned me my
watch was relieved. It could not have lasted more than two hours:
many a week has seemed shorter" (Charlotte Bronte; two hours
exceed in duration the thing of which two hours is a part). (5)
Mammaţa in his definition allows for the possibility that the con-
tainer exceeds the term predicated upon it, but both his examples show
only the reverse (the present case).
anuprāsa
1.52-59,
anuprāsa, "throwing after": (1) alliteration. (2) B 2.5-8, D
V 4.1.8-10, U 1.3-10, AP 343.1-11, R 2.18-32, M 104-16. (3) kim
tayā cintayā kānte nitāntêti (Bhāmaha: "O lovely, why are you
afflicted with doubts?"). (5) Anuprāsa is treated by all the writers
except Bharata, but Daṇḍin considers it an aspect of madhura guna
rather than a figure. The varieties of alliteration considered are (a)
repetition of phonetic features (Daṇḍin: see varṇâvṛtti, note); (b)
repetition of phonemes or phoneme clusters (paruşa, upanāgarika,
grāmya, madhura, lalita, praudha, bhadra); (c) variation of vowels
within similar consonant strings and vice versa (cheka), and (d)
repetition of words or morphemes (lața). Alliteration is carefully
distinguished from yamaka (cadence), in that the occurrence of the
alliterated elements is not predetermined in verse or verse part. It is,
in other words, the phonemes or phonetic features that are being
