by a minister of the slain Naraka and urges retaliation on Kṛṣṇa:
"The Prince who wipes away the tears of his friends by taking re-
venge on his enemies, he alone is honorable, he is a man and a just
man, his auspicious life is a vessel of good fortune"). (4) "But at my

king; reference is to the forms of Visņu: "Even if he deviates from
masculinity [from heroism], even if he descends to earth [suffers
reverses], even if he is not of great size [not powerful], nevertheless,
he upholds the earth; in this way has the expanse of this earth been
made manifest by the Great Lord [a great lord]"). (4) "... A dripping
Pauper crawls along the way, / The only real willing out-of-doorer, /
And says, or seems to say, / 'Well, I am poor enough but here's a

(5) Cf. samāsôkti and sādṛśyamātra. Śleșa differs from avayava
ślesa in that the real subject is there explicit and the pun ancillary.
samāsôkti, 'concise speech': (1) a type of tulya aprastutapraśamsā in which
the real subject is intimated by puns (or double meanings) on the
descriptive qualifications of the explicit subject. (2) M 152C. (3)

has demeaned himself by asking alms. The sun and moon (ex-
plicit subjects) are not punned upon, but the descriptive qualifica-
tions are as pāda, 'ray' and 'foot', kṣīņa, 'new moon' and 'prop-
