विध्याभासः Vidhyābhāsaḥ: Prescription :
vi √dhā ki = vidhi injunction, ā √bhās ac = ābhāsa reflection, resem-
blance, likeness, semblance, false appearance. As a figure of speech
Vidhyābhāsa denotes prescription of some undesired or unwar-
ranted action. Here we find that, in order to negate some unde-
sired result some other thing is prescribed in the form of
injunction, but such injunction being undesirable turns to prohibi-
tion (niṣedha). According to Ruyyaka it is a variety of Ākṣepa
(Paralipsis)
eg 1. gaccha gacchasi cet kānta / śivās te santu panthānaḥ,
mamāpi janma tatraiva / bhūyād yatra gato bhavān.
गच्छ गच्छसि चेत् कान्त / शिवास्ते सन्तु पन्थानः ।
ममापि जन्म तत्रैव / भूयाद् यत्र गतो भवान्
Please leave, if you are departing,
Auspicious be thy wanderings;
May I be there again born--
Where you would have gone.
This verse is an appeal of the beloved lady when her husband is
ready to depart to a distant place. So the couple would remain sep-
arated for a long time and therefore, the lady expresses her good
wishes so that her husband might have a safe journey. But in the
second sentence she expresses her desire to be born again in the
land where her husband would stay for the period of their separa-
tion. But through this desire it is implied that the pangs of separa-
tion may cause an end to her life. Therefore it is suggested that
such injunction turns into a prohibition which implies that the
husband must not go leaving the wife alone.
