विवक्षा या विशेषस्य लोकसीमातिवर्तिनी।
असोवतिशयोक्तिः योक्तिः स्यात् अलंकारोत्तमा यथा ॥
Meaning of Shloka: A flower blooms first and then a fruit (blooms), there is a cloud first and then (in the form of rain) water. Thus, this is the order of cause and effect (a happening). (This means first there is always a cause and after that there results its effect (an act.) But, Oh King! riches (wealth) is received before (receving your favour)
उदेति पूर्वं कुसुमं ततः फलं
धनोदयः प्राक् तदनन्तरं पय ।
निमित्तनैमित्तिकयोरयं कमः
तव प्रसादस्य परस्त संपदः ॥
Here, there is a manifestation of effect happening an act after the cause, to express such a popular (limitation accepted by people) (in the first two stanzas) only flower is the cause and then limitation there is a fruit (effect, an act) and that after the clouds in the sky there comes water is talked about. But then (in the fourth stanzas) wealth is received before being favoured (getting favour) by the king. Here there is an overemphasis of popular limitation that is said in the fourth stanza because in this narration the act/the result in the form of wealth is put first and after that favour is talked about in the form of cause. Thus, quite uncommon thing is talked about and so here the figure of speech is exaggeration.
(Special note: The way to point out the importance of anything or any person is to show out that thing or a person as different others. Hence first the popular limitation of all those things or persons is to be pointed out, and then the importance of that thing or person is to be shown. And there the attempt is made to show that the popular limitation that is found in others is not in it or in him. Moreover, (1) the exaggeration is pointed out in the similarity between the upamaya and upaman i.e. the thing compared and the thing compared with. (2) instead of upameya upamari is described, (3) if relation is shown between quite unrelated things the popular limitation, neglected, overlooked, So, there also the figure of speech is exaggeration. Because of this, importance of the thing or the person gets increased (enhances).
