Ala峁僰膩ra (2): 艢濒别峁-Yamaka
In the ancient Sanskrit Poetics, all the famous scholars of Bharata, 叠丑腻尘补丑补, 顿补峁囜笉颈苍 and V膩ma峁嘺 etc. described about the Yamaka 补濒补峁僰腻谤补. 搁耻诲谤补峁璦 also discusses 艢濒别峁-Yamaka with fifty-eight stanzas in his 碍腻惫测腻濒补峁僰腻谤补 (of 搁耻诲谤补峁璦) There he gives its eight divisions. But in the first time of history of Sanskrit Poetics 驰腻测腻惫补谤墨测补 搁腻箩补艣别办丑补谤补 elaborately discusses the 艢濒别峁 and Yamaka to the view of 丑补谤补峁嘺 (borrowing).
In the 艢补产诲补-丑补谤补峁嘺 chapter of K膩vyam墨m膩峁僺膩, 搁腻箩补艣别办丑补谤补 says about ancient 膧肠腻谤测补蝉 view as:
鈥�tatraikapada丑补谤补峁嘺峁� na do峁Ｄ亂a鈥� iti 腻肠腻谤测腻 |
-K膩vyam墨m膩峁僺膩 of 搁腻箩补艣别办丑补谤补: Ch-XI, Pp- 56
Means:
鈥淭he borrowing of one word cannot be called a fault.鈥�
But 搁腻箩补艣别办丑补谤补 does not agree with this concept and says his own views as:
鈥�anyatra dvayarthapad膩t鈥� iti 测腻测腻惫补谤墨测补岣� |
-K膩vyam墨m膩峁僺膩 of 搁腻箩补艣别办丑补谤补: Ch-XI, Pp- 56
Means:
鈥渂orrowing of word which has two meanings is certainly not a fault, without this borrowing is under fault.鈥�
