GLOSSARY
clear, and the remote atmosphere appeared, as it often appears on a
fine winter day, in distinct planes of illumination independently
toned, the rays which lit the nearer tracts of landscape streaming
visibly across those further off; a stratum of ensaffroned light was
imposed on a stratum of deep blue, and behind these lay still remoter
scenes wrapped in frigid grey" (Thomas Hardy). (5) Guņa svabhāvôkti
is to be distinguished from jäti svabhāvokti, where the constitutive
or generic aspects of the subject are emphasized.
jāti, 'genus': (1) a type of svabhāvôkti in which the generic aspects of
the subject are emphasized. (2) D 2.13 (9). (3) tuņdair ātāmrakuţilaiḥ
pakşair haritakomalaiḥ । trivarṇarājibhiḥ kanthair ete mañjugiraḥ
śukāḥ (Dandin: "With beaks bent and reddish, with wings yellow
and soft and throats bearing three-colored stripes, the parrots call
softly"). (4) "She was an egregious fowl. She was huge and gaunt,
with great yellow beak, and she stood straight and alert in the
manner of responsible people. There was something wrong with
the tail. It slanted far to one side, one feather in it twice as long
as the rest. Feathers on her breast there were none. These had been
worn entirely off by her habit of sitting upon potatoes and other
rough objects ... Her legs were blue, long, and remarkably stout"
(Owen Wister). (5) See kriyā, guṇa, dravya.
dravya, 'material': (1) a type of svabhävôkti in which a typical individual
is characterized. (2) D 2.13 (12). (3) kaṇthekālaḥ karasthena
kapálenêndusekharaḥ । jatabhiḥ snigdhatāmrabhir ávir āsīd vṛṣadhva-
jaḥ (Dandin: "Śiva comes into view atop his bull, with dark blue
neck, a skull in his hand, the moon on his brow, and matted locks,
reddish and greasy"). (4) "And on her legs she painted buskins
wore, / Basted with bands of gold on every side, / And mails between,
and laced close afore: / Upon her thigh her scimitar was tied, / With
an embroidered belt of mickle pride; / And on her shoulder hung
her shield, bedecked / Upon the boss with stones, that shined wide, /
As the fair moon in her most full aspect, / That to the moon it mote
be like in each respect" (Edmund Spenser; of Radigund). (5) This
type of svabhāvôkti is doubtless designed to cover that large category
of exceptional individuals whose attributes in Indian story have
become standardized. The stotra literature abounds in such descrip-
tive verses of gods and godlings. Presumably the description of
ordinary individuals would fall into the category jāti svabhāvokti.
