BOOK ONE
[1. 80–

‘Revelation (ākṣepa) is declared [to result] from the unfolding of the Germ (bīja) in the Development (garbha).’

Com. Ex.: Ratn. 3, pp. 73, 78, 80; Veṇī. 4, p. 105.—The most important of these subdivisions of the Development are: Mis-statement, Indication, Quarrel, Outwitting, and Revelation. The others are employed when possible. [Cf. SD. 405, com.; Pratāpar. 3. 13, end.]

Notes. Bh. gives a definition similar to the above, but employs the designation upakṣipta (as one must emend, following Lévi, p. 47.) In the preliminary summary (Bh. 19. 63 a) it is called ākṣipta. with the change of prefix frequently necessitated by the meter in technical treatises of this kind. The text of Bh. given by Hall, which unfortunately shows evidences of hasty preparation, has prārthanā kṣipram (for prārthanākṣiptam=prārthanā+ākṣiptam) in 19. 63 a, and upasthitam (for upakṣiptam) in 19. 86 a. The Ms. P. of Bh. reads kṣipti (Lévi, p. 47).—SD., under the designation kṣipti, gives a somewhat different definition and an obscure example.—Pratāpar. has the following definition: iṣṭārthopāyānusaraṇam ākṣepaḥ.

Bh. 19. 85 b and SD. 372 mention and define a thirteenth division of the Development, the prārthanā, ‘Invitation,’ a summons to enjoyment or festivity. This is inserted so that those who exclude the Benediction (praśasti) from the number of divisions of the Conclusion (nirvahaṇa) may still have the full complement of 64 subdivisions (SD. 372, com).

The Pause and its Subdivisions

81 (P. 43; H. 39).

krodhenāvamṛśed yatra vyasanād va vilobhanāt
garbhanirbhinnabījārthaḥ so ’vamarśo ’ṅgasaṃgrahaḥ.

‘The Pause (avamarśa, lit. deliberation) is that group of subdivisions [of the Junctures] in which one stops to reflect (avamṛśed) because of anger or passion or temptation, and which has as its subject the Germ (bīja) that has been unfolded in the Development (garbha).’

Com. Ex.: Ratn. 4, as far as the excitement caused by the fire; Veṇī. 6. 1, p. 158.

Notes. so ’vamarśo ’ṅgasaṃgrahaḥ V., P.; °saṅg[r]ahaḥ H.; so ’vamarśa iti smṛtaḥ Hall p. 38 (apparently a reminiscence of Bh. 19. 41 a).—SD. calls this Juncture vimarṣa; Bh. (and sometimes DR.), vimarśa.—On the use of avamṛśed to explain avamarśa see the notes on DR. 1. 19.
