Text.
Drishtantalankara. Alankára dfish tanta sô
lakshara nama pramina Kántimána sasi-hí banyau
to-hi kiratimána II 88 11Translation.
Exemplification. The nature of the figure of Exemplification can be gathered from its name. An example of the figure is :
The moon alone was created a thing of perfect beauty, as thou alone of perfect fame.'
(The Sahitya-darpana, 698, defines the figure as the reflective representation (pratibimbana) of a similar (sadharma) attribute, (not of the same attribute, in which case the figure would be Typical Comparison, v. 87 above).
Giridhara-dasa's definition in the Bhárati-bhúshana (119) is fuller than that of the Bhasha. thishana : - Varnya avarnya duhúna ko
bhinna dharma darasai Jaha bimba pratibimba sô
số drightắta kahái || 888 | When different attributes are shewn as belonging respectively to the subject ander dis. cussion and to something not under discussion, — they bearing the mutual relationship of type and antitype, it is Exemplification.]

Illustration. [Cf. Sáhitya-darpana, 699. When a possible, or, as is sometimes the case, even an impossible connection of things (vastusambandha) implies & relation of type and antitype (bimbanubimbatva), it is Illustration.]
Tlustration (nidarsand) is of three kinds, vie., (a) when the meaning of the two sentonces is the same ; (6) when the quality of one thing exists in another; and (c) when from a consideration of the effect (of a similar action), the good or bad results of an action may be foretold. Examples of the three kinds are: -
(a) This gentle giver is without spot; in the same manner that the full moon is without Rpot.'
[The Bhushana-kaumudi remarks that this must not be taken as an instance of Exemplifi. cation (v. 88); for in the latter there is no superimposition, merely comparison; while here the quality of the spotlessness of the moon is superimposed apon the person compared, - the giver. In fact Exemplification boars much the same relation to this kind of Illustration, that a Simile does to a Metaphor.]
(6) Bebold, her eye naturally contains the sportive play of the (fluttering) khanjana bird.'
