TEXT 66

‘vibhavati’ kriyāya vākya—sāṅga, punaḥ viśeṣaṇa

‘adbhuta-guṇā’—ei punar-ātta dūṣaṇa

SYNONYMS

vibhavati kriyāya — by the verb vibhavati (“flourishes”); vākya — statement; sāṅga — complete; punaḥ — again; viśeṣaṇa adbhuta-guṇa — the adjective adbhuta-guṇa (“wonderful qualities”); ei — this; punar-ātta — repetition of the same word; dūṣaṇa — fault.

TRANSLATION

“The statement by the word ‘vibhavati’ [‘flourishes’] is complete. Qualifying it with the adjective ‘adbhuta-guṇā’ [‘wonderful qualities’] creates the fault of redundancy.
