'अन्तर्लापिका' का एक अन्य उदाहरण प्रस्तुत है :-
युधिष्ठिरः कस्य पुत्रो गङ्गा वहति कीदृशी |
हंसस्य शोभा का वाSSस्ति धर्मस्य त्वरिता गतिः || -सुभाषितरत्नाकर
शाब्दिक अर्थ - युधिष्ठर किसका पुत्र है , गङ्गा नदी किस प्रकार
बहती है और हंस की शोभा किस से होती है ? धर्म की गति (चाल)
बहुत तेज होती है | इस पहेली का उत्तर श्लोक अन्तिम पद में छिपा हुआ
है , अर्थात पाण्डवो मे सबसे ज्येष्ठ युधिष्ठिर धर्म के पुत्र थे, गङ्गा नदी
बहुत तेजी से बहती है और हंस की शोभा उसके मन्थर गति से चलने
में होती है |
Here is another example of a 'Antarlaapikaa' (a riddle, where its
answer is in the riddle itself. The answer is in the last three words
of the 'shloka; (couplet).
Yudhishthirah kasya putrah Gangaa vahati keedrushee.
Hansasya shobhaa kaa vaasti Dharmasya tvaritaa gatih.
Yudhishthira = name of the eldest among the five brothers called
Pandavas the main characters of the epic Mahabharata.
Kasya = whose ? Putrah = son. Ganga = reference to the
sacred river Ganges. Vahati = flows. Keedrushee = how ?
Hansasya = a Swan's. Shobhaa = grace, loveliness. Kaa = what >
Vaasti = is Dharmasya = of the Dharrma. Tvaritaa =quick.
Gatih = speed,, gait (way of walking)
Literal meaning - Whose son is Yudhishthira, how the river Ganges
flows and what makes a Swan graceful ? The speed with which Dharma
moves is very fast.
The answer is that Yudhishthara is the son ofDharma, the river Ganges
flows very fast , and a swan's grace is in its gait i.e.the way it walks.
