In Hinduism
Kavyashastra (science of poetry)
Source: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)Akramātiśayokti (अक्रमातिशयोक्ति) refers to one of the varieties of Atiśayokti: one of the 93 alaṃkāras (“figures of speech”) mentioned by Jayadeva and Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭācārya (fl. 17th century) in his Kāvyavilāsa.—Atiśayokti is one of the important figures of speech admitted by almost all the famous Ālaṃkārikas (e.g., Bhāmaha, Rudraṭa, Daṇḍin, Kuntaka, Mammaṭa). Jayadeva has not given any general definition of atiśayokti, but he has defined and illustrated each of the six varieties of atiśayokti (viz. Akramātiśayokti).
Cirañjīva defines akramātiśayokti as—“akramātiśayoktiścedyugapatkāryakāraṇe”.—“When the cause and the effect take place simultaneously it is the figure akamātiśayokti”. This variety of atiśayokti based on the cause—effect relation propounded by the Naiyāyika. The law of causation of the Naiyāyikas demands that a cause always precedes an effect and an effect always follows a cause. When this well-established sequence becomes violated by showing that these two occur simultaneously it is the figure akramātiśayokti.
Example of the akramātiśayokti-alaṃkāra:
tvadarātimahīpālabhavane bhuvaneśvara |
tava krodhena dāridryaṃ sahaiva samupasthitam ||“Oh, Lord of earth! In the palace of your enemy king poverty has arrived simultaneously with your wrath”.
Notes: In this verse the cause is the wrath of the king and the effect is poverty. It is natural that poverty has come due to the wrath of the king. So, the wrath is the preceding cause and poverty is the effect which comes afterwards. But here the poet has described that these two appear simultaneously. So it is an example of akramātiśayokti.
Kavyashastra (काव्यशास्त्र, kāvyaśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian tradition of poetry (kavya). Canonical literature (shastra) of the includes encyclopedic manuals dealing with prosody, rhetoric and various other guidelines serving to teach the poet how to compose literature.
