alternatives before her either she should be reunited with her
partner, or otherwise it would be unbearable for her to pass the
rainy days without his company, and that means nothing but death.
 
In the second poem, the lover brings out the most pitiable con-
dition of even the precious necklace made of pearls lying uncared
for on the bosom of his beloved, and therefore, the condition of the
lover, a human being, guided by sexual impulse, should be more
pathetic. The alternate condition ie the preference of the lover in
lieu of the jewel necklace near her heart is no better at all.

fachta: Vikasvaraḥ: Expansion:
 
The word vikasvara means opening, expanding, blossoming etc. When
some particular or general proposition is poetically represented in
order to support some other particular or general proposition, the
figure of speech is called Vikasvara. Jayadeva and Appayya have
tried to single out slight difference between Arthāntaranyāsa and
Vikasvara. According to them, in the present figure of speech, one
particular statement is supported by some general statement which
is again supported by another general proposition. According to
Mammaţa and others, Vikasvara should be included in
Arthāntaranyāsa. Jagannātha also says that it should not be treated
as a separate figure since it is in no way different from
Arthāntaranyāsas or Samsrsti (ie a combination of a pair of
Arthantaranyāsa or an Arthantaranyāsa and Upamā.
