Analysis of 鲍迟辫谤别办峁Ｄ�-补濒补峁卥腻谤补
(i) This 补濒补峁卥腻谤补 is quite efficiently handled by the playwright at the beginning of the play, when eulogising king 艢膩haji I.
The king is fancied by the poet to be goddess 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 incarnate who had descended to the world since she wanted to protect and nurture the learned; as a result lord 叠谤补丑尘腻 who could not bear separation from her had to alleviate himself with the waters in his 办补尘补峁囜笉补濒补 and by the cool breeze spread by the wings of his 丑补峁僺补惫腻丑补苍补 (I.13):

(ii) An excellent 鲍迟辫谤别办峁Ｄ� is found in III.4.
The normal routine of the cock鈥檚 crow at dawn is fancied by the poet as arising out of its doubt about lillies blooming again without thinking, on feeling the rays of the early dawn sun (while the moon has set); to forestall it, the cock is imagined to be crowing in advance (III.4):

(iii) The closing of the night and the setting of the moon occur simultaneously and together.
This is fancied by the poet as the act of the lover, candra, who having spent the night in the proximity of kumudas, is running now after 苍颈艣腻 to pacify her (she is angrily going away since he had neglected the previous night) (III.5):

(iv) Another instance of relishable 鲍迟辫谤别办峁Ｄ� is seen when Vasanta as the bridegroom and Vana艣r墨 as the bride are imagined to get married with pumskokila鈥檚 sweet sounds forming the wedding mantras, the red hue of the fresh and tender leaves playing the role of wedding fire, the showers of white fresh flowers forming 濒腻箩补-丑辞尘补 and the puffed-paddy becoming the oblation into the sacred fire (IV.30):
