are ill translated by our own; witness the example "energy" considered
as a category of substance.
virodha (II): (1) same as asamgati. (2) V 4.3.12. (5) The subject of virodha
has been fully developed in relation to the causal process. Various
contradictions or distortions of the normal relation of cause and
effect are exemplified by the figures anyonya, pūrva, vyāghāta,
asaṇgati, samādhi, and ahetu. An ordinary virodha concerns aspects
of one subject and does not extend necessarily to relations between
many subjects, nor is it based on any notion of the propriety of
such relationship, as implied, for example, by the notion of cause and
effect.
virodha (III): (1) an artha ślesa in which a positive term or thought is
directly contradicted by its negative, and resolution of the contradic-
tion is effected by understanding one (usually the negative) as a pun.

the wives of his enemies and uninterested in the wives of others, but

various excellent lotuses, he has destroyed lotuses [fools]; although
he is an amateur of all his enemies' wives, he disdains the embraces
of others' women [swords]"). (4) "In those old days, the Nymph

appears to be a contradiction, until Mayfair is understood as a
[fashionable] quarter of London). (5) This figure is virodha alamkāra
expressed through śleşa. See also virodhâbhâsa. This could better
be called paradox.

virodhâbhāsa, 'appearance of paradox': (1) an artha ślesa in which two
