क्रमेणोदाहरणम्,

krameṇodāharaṇam,

Examples are shown in order (here the cause is stated):

tvāṃ śīla-rūpa-caritaiḥ parama-prakṛṣṭa-sattvena sāttvikatayā prabalaiś ca śāstraiḥ |
prakhyāta-daiva-paramārtha-vidāṃ mataiś ca naivāsura-prakṛtayaḥ prabhavanti bodhum ||

tvām—You; śīla—character; rūpa—forms; caritaiḥ—by the deeds; parama—most; prakṛṣṭa—eminent; sattvena—by the power; sāttvikatayā—in terms of being in the mode of goodness; prabalaiḥ—great; ca—and (or); śāstraiḥ—by the scriptures; prakhyāta—renowned; daiva—divine; parama-artha-vidām—of those who know the highest goal; mataiḥ—by the opinions; ca—and; na eva—never; āsura-prakṛtayaḥ—those who have a demoniac nature; prabhavanti—are able; boddhum—to understand.

Those who have a demoniac nature are never able to understand You whether by means of Your character, forms, or deeds, by means of Your power, which is the most exalted, by means of the scriptures which are weighty in terms of being in the mode of goodness, or bymeans of the transcendentalists who know the highest goal, which is illustrious and divine. (Yāmunācārya’s Stotra-ratna 12)

atrāsurī prakṛtir hetv-antaram.

In this example, a demoniac nature is an additional reason.

Commentary:

Mammaṭa gives this example of viśeṣokti where the cause is mentioned:

karpūra iva dagdho’pi śaktimān yo jane jane |
namo’stv avārya-vīryāya tasmai makara-ketave ||

“Let us give our respects to him who has irrepressible might and whose emblem is the makara. Though he was burned like camphor, he has power over everyone” (Rājaśekhara’s Bāla-rāmāyaṇa) (Locana 1.13) (Kāvya-prakāśa verse 475).
