to burn! For one of the sun's retinue will not be mild when the
friends of the moon are harsh!"). (4) "Sweet is the rose, but grows
upon a brere; / Sweet is the juniper, but sharp his bough: / So
every sweet with sour is temper'd still, / That maketh it be coveted
the more: / For easy things, that may be got at will, / Most sorts of
men do set but little store" (Edmund Spenser). (5) The term "reversal"
is probably to be taken as reversal of yuk tâyukta, where an otherwise
appropriate situation is deemed in some respect inappropriate. Here
the inconsistency is accepted.
 
viparyaya (II): (1) a type of arthântaranyāsa in which the substantiation,
having the form of a general remark, follows the proposition, which
is particular in reference. (2) U 2.4. (3) siva apaśyac câtikaştāni
tapyamānām tapāmsy umam । asambhavyapaticchānām kanyānām
kā parā gatiḥ (Udbhaṭa; Umā had set her mind on having none but
Śiva: "[Śiva] watched Umā practicing austerities of unbelievable
austerity; what other recourse have girls who desire a perfect hus-
band?"). (4) "On the College of Wadham at Oxford being insured
from Fire, after a Member had been suspected of an unnatural
Crime: Well did the amorous sons of Wadham / Their house secure
from future flame; / They knew their crime, the crime of Sodom, /
And judg'd their punishment the same" (Anon.). (5) Udbhata
is the first writer to classify apodixis in this way, but he perversely
applies the term viparyaya to that type which the earlier writers
consider perfectly normal: a particular remark justified by a general
remark, as: "Keep in the heart the journal nature keeps; / Mark
down the limp nasturtium leaf with frost" (Conrad Aiken). Udbhața's
innovation is, of course, that he allows the general remark to precede,
as in the example offered under yuktâtman. Rudraṭa and Mammaţa
both allow for this same distinction, but do not give it a name.
virodhavat, 'contradictory': (1) a type of arthântaranyāsa in which a
seeming paradox is justified. (2) D 2.170 (175). (3) jagad ānandayaty
eşa malino'pi niśākaraḥ । anugrhṇāti hi parān sadoşo'pi dvijeśvaraḥ
(Dandin: "The orb of the night, though covered with blemishes,
delights the whole world; but then, a Brahmin, even if he have
faults, confers favors upon others"). (4) "Before you despise Adam
as deficient in penetration, pray ask yourself... if you ever could,
without hard head-breaking demonstration, believe evil of the one
supremely pretty woman who has bewitched you. No: people
who love downy peaches are apt not to think of the stone, and
sometimes jar their teeth terribly against it" (George Eliot). (5)
