EPIGRAPHIA INDICA

________________________________________________

[1] Arjuna alone could have been regarded to be as brave as Siṅghaṇa and could have been anointed by the amṛit-ābhishēka. But he violated all rules of war in shooting arrows at Karṇa (Vaikartana) when the latter was busy lifting up (udasti) the chariot-wheel with his hands. The Nivātakavachas (literally, ‘clothed in impenetrable armour’), destroyed by Arjuna, were a class of Daityas descended from Prahlāda. [The correction inserted in the first foot is unnecessary.─ Ed.]
[2] The verse exhibits Atiśayōkti and Ārthī Utprēkshā. Arjuna’s inferiority to Siṅghaṇa is further indicated. [The first two corrections inserted in the fourth foot are unnecessary.─ Ed.]
[3] There is Samāsōki. Bāṇa is prastuta and from it the aprastuta, ‘one who deserts a gentleman’, is insinuated by means of double-meaning adjectives.
[4] Kārttika-chandra-kānti-jayinīṁ kīrtim givens us Vyatirēka. King Kṛishṇa was ever intent on killing the yelling Gūrjara heroes. His [ocean-like] heart is therefore said to be eager (cf. tvara) to meet (cf. saṅga) the river of Gūrjara blood. This is Atiśayōkti based on Rūpaka. Ordinarily it is the river that flows to the ocean. King Kṛishṇa meditated on Vishṇu and his heart was free from all sin (nirdūshaṇa). Hence Vishṇu is poetically conceived to repose in the kings heart as he detested (cf. saghṛiṇa) the ocean in comparison with the heart.
[5] Here is Atiśayōkti.
