Dear all,
the 48th canto of the Haravijaya, one of two calledÂ
“Citrayuddhavarṇanam†in it, contains three verses in which differentÂ
variants of a technique called Niravadya are applied:
gabhÄ«radhÄ«rÄravarīṇabhÄ«ruraṇÄdarÄ dÄruṇavÄraá¹‡Ä sÄ |
abhaá¹…gurÄ vÄ«ravirÅ«á¸hahÄvasurÄá¹…ganÄdaká¹£akaá¹Äká¹£amoká¹£aiḥ || 51 ||Â
(pÄdaniravadyaḥ)
prabhÄmayenÄricamÅ«s tadÄnīṃ salÄ«lam ÄsphÄlitacÄpayaá¹£á¹iḥ |
virÅ«á¸hasaṃrambhasurÄribÄṇasaṃbhÄrasaṃruddhakarÄ«rakuñjÄ || 52 ||Â
(prÄgardhaniravadyaḥ)
ÄrÅ«á¸harÄ«á¸hÄmarabÄṇaviddhaturaṃgamÄlÄ raṇarÄgamÅ«á¸hÄ |
nÄ«tÄ vihastatvabhibhaiḥ sahÄtha suvarṇasÄnor gahanÄny aviká¹£at || 13 ||Â
(caramÄrdhaniravadyaḥ)
V. Balasubramaniam lists these in his Citram book (2007, vol. I, p.Â
313f.), but unfortunately without explaining the restriction. I haveÂ
not yet found any other instances of this technique being used. IsÂ
anybody familiar with this technique, or can spot a pattern, and couldÂ
explain what is the “blameless†element in these stanzas?
Best wishes
Peter Pasedach
