‘Exaggeration (udāhṛti=udāharaṇa) is [a remark] that contains an over-statement.’
Com. Ex.: Ratn. 3, p. 60.
Notes. Lévi observes (p. 45): ‘D’après Bharata et Viçvanātha, udāharaṇa désigne l’extraordinaire, le surnaturel.’ I cannot find any warrant for this statement. Bh. and SD. are substantially in accord with DR. on this point, and the example given in the SD. commentary is appropriate. The illustration from the Śakuntalā given by Lévi was selected by him in accordance with the statements of the native commentaries (see Lévi, p. 5).
