and tender, of celebrating a festival, as if two emotions were called
up in her, one profound-for what could be more serious than the
love of man for woman, what more commanding, more impressive,
bearing in its bosom the seeds of death; at the same time these
lovers, these people entering into illusion glittering eyed, must be
danced around with mockery, decorated with garlands" (Virginia
Woolf). Both examples show only a situation of contrasts, not
contradiction (D 2.336).
 
GLOSSARY
 
gunakriya, 'attribute-verb': (1) a type of complex virodha where incom-
patibility is shown between actions and qualities or traits of the same
subject. (2) R 9.39, M 167. (3) sā komalâpi dalayati mama hṛdayam
(Rudrata: "O how that tender one causes my heart to break!").
(4) "Of course I don't deny that if I were thoroughly unscrupulous
I could make a sensation. It would be rather amusing to show the
man with his passion for beauty and his careless treatment of his
obligations, his fine style and his personal hatred for soap and water,
his idealism and his tippling in disreputable pubs; but honestly,
would it pay?" (Somerset Maugham).
 
jāti, "genus': (1) a type of virodha where generic incompatibility is shown
in the same subject. (2) D 2.335, R. 9.37, M 167. (3) ekasyām eva
tanau bibharti yugapan naratvasimhatve / manujatvavarahat ve tatháiva
yo vibhur asau jayati (Rudrata; "manliness" and "lionhood" in
speaking of a form of Vişnu: "May he be victorious, the Lord who
unites in one body humanity and lionhood, manliness and porcinity").
(4) "Now I am well aware that pettiness and grandeur, malice and
charity, hatred and love, can find place side by side in the same human
heart" (Somerset Maugham; "pettiness and grandeur"). (5) The
logical category "genus" is never given abstract substantiation, but
is always considered to be a peculiar kind of attribute. In this sense,
the important distinction is between genus and guṇa, not between
genus and species (dravya). This turns out to be largely a matter of
morphology: if a pot is red, then redness is a generic attribute of
its color.
 
dravya, 'particular thing': (1) a type of virodha where the incompatibility
is that of particular individual things or ideas. (2) D 2.337, R 9.34,
M 167. (3) atrêndranīlabhittişu guhāsu śaile sadā suvelâkhye /
anyonyanabhibhūte tejastamasi pravartete (Rudrata; tejas ['energy"]
and tamas ['indolence'] paired with "glimmering" and "shadow":
"The glimmering and the shadow, ever contending, persist on the
sapphire-set walls of the caves of Mount Suvela"). (4) "[Theodore
