When youth became the new king, whose moral codes were slack, in the kingdom of R膩dh膩鈥檚 body, the dacoits of Her breasts and hips ransacked Her waist and stole all the plumpness. Fearing that Her waist might scream for help, they gagged it with the ropes of Her three-lined belly. Hearing of this, Her ankles hid themselves out of fear. (Govinda-濒墨濒腻尘峁泃补 11.54)
atra r奴pakotprek峁yo岣�.
There is a 蝉补峁僺峁涐梗峁璱 of 谤奴辫补办补 and 耻迟辫谤别办峁Ｄ�.
Commentary:
The metaphors (谤奴辫补办补) are single: (1) youth in the form of a king, (2) the kingdom of R膩dh膩鈥檚 body, (3) the dacoits of Her breasts, and the dacoits of Her hips, and (4) the ropes of Her three-lined belly. At first, the expression 鈥淗er ankles hid themselves鈥� is the virodha ornament (semblance of a contradiction), but it culminates as an 耻辫谤别办峁Ｄ� especially because the whole verse is a fancy. Mamma峁璦鈥檚 example of a 蝉补峁僺峁涐梗峁璱 of two ornaments of meaning was shown in text 10.33 (碍腻惫测补-辫谤补办腻艣补 verse 568).
