CHAPTER - VI
ALANKĀRAS IN THE USAHARAṆAKĀVYA
Introduction: A close reading of the Uá¹£Äharaṇa poem makes it
clear that Trivikrama Pandita was one of the extra-ordinary poets.
Undoubtedly, Trivikrama's poetic writings are highly polished and richly
adorned with Åš²¹²ú»åÄå±ô²¹²Ô°ìÄå°ù²¹²õ and ArthÄlaṃkÄras. Poet's unique skill in
giving pictorial descriptions is found really commendable. In the epic
poem the language enriched with AlankÄras is found throughout very
prominently.
Unlike others, Trivikrama Paṇá¸ita makes his poem enjoyable to the
readers by means of various poetic aspects. An intutive poetic vision of
Trivikrama Pandita produces aesthetic delight in the hearts of
³§²¹³óá¹›d²¹²â²¹²õ.
The AlankÄras used by the poet in the MahÄkÄvya may be grouped
into two sections, one is SabdÄlankÄra and the other being ArthÄlankÄra.
SabdÄlankÄra or Sabdacitra constitutes verbal figures namely
AnuprÄsa (Alliteration), Yamaka (chime), ChhekÄnuprÄsa (dexterous
alliteration) Vá¹›ttyanuprÄsa (repetitive alliteration) etc.
Thus, in

Sabdalankara, strikingness lies with word. In
ArthÄlankÄra, the sense of the word visualises production of image from
reflection of the matter in hand by means of the standard of similitude.
In the background of this short introduction, a detail study of different
types of AlankÄras follows as below:
Åš²¹²ú»åÄå±ô²¹²Ô°ìÄå°ù²¹²õ
As is said already before, ÅšabdÄlankÄra is of various types investing
the strength in the words forming the poetic organism.
