In Hinduism

Kavyashastra (science of poetry)

: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)

ղ岵ṇa (तद्गुण) refers to one of the 93 ṃk (“figures of speech�) mentioned by Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭācārya (fl. 17th century) in his Kāvyavilāsa and is listed as one of the 89 ٳṃk (figure of speech determined by the sense, as opposed to sound).—Rudraṭa is the first Ālaṃkārika to mention ٲ岵ṇa as an ṃk (Ru. K.A. VI/22 & 24). Mammaṭa has dealt with this ٲ岵ṇa in his Kāvyaprakāśa (X/Sū 204). Ruyyaka (A.S.P. 170) has followed Mammaṭa to define ٲ岵ṇa. Jayadeva in his Candrāloka (C.L.V/102) has said that assumption of the attribute of another by living one’s own attribute is known as ٲ岵ṇa. In the opinion of Viśvanātha the assumption of higher merit living one’s own merit forms ٲ岵ṇa.

Cirañjīva defines ٲ岵ṇa in a slightly different way. He defines—�ٲ岵ṇa� svaguṇe mlāne tvanyata� svaguṇodaya��.—“When the merit of one becomes lower for some what reason and if the previous merit of the object is retained again then it is ٲ岵ṇa�.

Example of the ٲ岵ṇa-ṃk:�

tava pratāpānaladāhitani cira� virūpāṇyarimandirāṇi |
atho kṛpādṛṣṭyamṛtaikavṛṣṭyā labdhasvarūpāṇi nirīkṣitāni ||

“The houses of enemies which are caused to be burnt by the fire of your prowess have lost their form for long time. Again these are seen to attain their form by the shower of nectar in the form of your favourable glance�.

Notes: In this verse it has been said that the residences of the enemies became defarmed by the attack of the powerful king. But the king became somehow pleased with the conquered enemies. Now with the shower of favourable glance of the powerful king the previous forms of the abodes of enemies are restored. So on account of regaining the previous merit it is an example of ٲ岵ṇa ṃk.

: Shodhganga: Bhismacaritam a critical study

ղ岵ṇa (तद्गुण, “borrower�) refers to one of the various Alaṅkāras (‘figures of speech�) classified as Artha (‘sense�), as employed in the Bhīṣmacarita (Bhishma Charitra) which is a 屹ⲹ (‘epic poem�) written by Hari Narayan Dikshit.—There is an example of �ٲ岵ṇa� also in Bhīṣmacarita. With the help of this figure of speech, the poet has aptly presented the sense of borrowing in V.28. Here the poet has aptly depicted how Devavrata acquired the skill and strength of a true warrior from his teacher Paraśurāma like that a lamp acquires from another lamp.
