Part 5p - Ala峁僰膩ra (16): 痴颈峁尘补 or incongruity
When the qualities or the actions of a cause and its effect are opposed to each other; when an effort fails and some evil result follows; or when there is an association (bringing together or connection) between two things that are incongruous, there is 痴颈峁尘补.[1] As for example, the verse, 惫颈峁尘补苍补测补苍补诲峁沢产丑颈谤补帽肠颈迟腻测腻峁�[2] 鈥︹赌�..., may be illustrated as an illustration of this figure, as it bears the meaning of incongruity. It has been described in the verse that 碍腻尘补诲别惫补, residing in the 础艣辞办补 flower gets frightened at the sight of Lord 艢颈惫补, at the same time, he becomes free from fear at the sight of 笔腻谤惫补迟墨. Therefore, as it portays two mutually incongruous things at the same time, hence, the verse under discussion is an example of the figure 痴颈峁尘补. Some other examples of this figure, found in 艢谤墨办补峁囜弓丑补肠补谤颈迟补 are- 颈迟补谤腻 办耻蝉耻尘补峁�[3] 鈥︹赌�, 诲墨辫颈办腻 谤补箩补苍颈办别濒颈办耻峁卥耻尘补[4] 鈥︹赌�.., 箩测辞迟蝉苍腻蝉迟丑颈迟腻惫补产丑颈蝉补谤补苍迟测补产丑颈办补峁�[5] 鈥︹赌�., k膩lak奴峁璦miha nindati[6] 鈥︹赌�.., 迟补蝉尘颈苍辫补迟补峁単补办峁峁嘺诲腻产丑耻箩补峁単补耻[7]鈥︹赌�., 谤补迟丑别鈥檝补迟补蝉迟丑别 divaso[8] 鈥︹赌�., 补诲惫补颈迟补尘奴谤迟别谤惫颈艣颈办丑别苍补 艣补峁僢丑辞岣�[9] 鈥︹赌�..
