抄録 | This paper examines particular words for beauty in four Sanskrit poems (Vālmīki's Rāmāyaṇa, Aśvaghoṣa's Buddhacarita and Saundarananda, Kālidāsa's Kumārasaṃbhava) and discusses the changing role of beauty in Sanskrit poetry. Building on Ingalls' study of words relating to beauty in the Subhāṣitaratnakoṣa, it is shown that beauty becomes increasingly important and present in classical Sanskrit poetry as exemplified by the Kumārasaṃbhava. Various words are studied in detail as they occur in the four poems. Śrī, royal beauty and success in the epics, comes to express the rule of beauty within kāvya from the time of Kālidāsa. Śubha has a moral sense prior to Kālidāsa, but this is not evident in the Kumārasaṃbhava. Clearly important is the notion of shining, where existence itself is to shine. Kāvya comes to inhabit a wonder-world, where light itself is solidified. Localised instances of beauty in Vālmīki and Aśvaghoṣa become pervasive in Kālidāsa. However, Kālidāsa's increasingly beautified world is kept from absurdity by the human touches he scatters through the Kumārasaṃbhava, most notably in the unmade bed that comes at the end of the poem. |
