APPENDIX
simile; as: "he is unconquerable, for the great are as difficult to
tame as the sea".
vicitra (40): the cause, though having a contrary attribute, yet produces
the desired effect (cf. vişama (III); as: "the pious bow down in
order to obtain exaltation from on high".
vidhi (99): pleonasm; the establishment of what is already established;
as: "on hearing the fifth tone [a particularly sweet one], the kokila
bird becomes truly a kokila bird!" Ironic contrary of mimāmsā
usage?
vivṛtokti (88): a gūdhokti (87) which the poet clarifies in other terms.
vişādana (68): the attainment of a goal contradicting that desired (inverse
of praharṣaṇa (67)); as: "as he was about to light the flame, the wind
blew it out".
śabdapramāņa (111): one of three figures representing the mimamsaka
pramāṇa *verbal authority' (cf. smṛti (112), śruti (113)). It seems
only a cover term for the latter two figures, q.v.
śruti (113): the mīmāņsaka pramāṇa 'verbal authority' (viz. śruti as
opposed to smrti); as: "you are truly called "Varada' ['giver of
boons']".
sambhava (116): the quasi-pramāṇa 'possibility'; as: "some day I will
find a congenial soul, for the world is wide and time is endless!"
smrti (112): the mimamsaka pramāṇa 'verbal authority' (viz. smrti as
opposed to śruti); as: "you are forced to do evil. Yet these deeds
are not done, for Manu has said 'all things done from force are
indeed not done"".
