119 stokenonnatim ayati stokena"yaty adhogatim / aho susadTsi vyttis tulakoteh kholasya ca // 1 Here the slesa does not disappear even if the words (svalbena' and 'ucchaistvam' etc. were substituted for 'stokena' and 'unnatim' etc. respectively. In 'svayan ca' &c Parvati is compared to morning twilight (prabhata.sandhya), bence there is Upama here. The other contention of Indutaja is that in this verse the prominent figure of speech is Slesa and not Upama, for the former is the basis of the latter. ? He further suggests that whenever any other figure comes together with Slesa, the prominent figure is always Slesa. If we do not accept this, Slesa would cease to have any scope (anavakasa). 3 Hence according to him Slesa is the figure of speech in such cases and it gives rise to the faint image of the other alamkaras which do not rise to prominence. * Mammata, who is drawn upon by the original, does not accept this. He points out that the province of Upama is not merely restricted to similarity of guna (quality) or kriya (action) as in (p. 191, 1. 4): "kamalam iva mukhas manojnam etat kacatitaram /." It also extends beyond that to mere verbal similarity (sabda-matrasamya) between the Upamana and Upameya as in (p. 191, 1. 4): sakala-kalam puram etaj jatam samprati sudhamsubimbam iva l'. So according to Mammata there is Upama in 'svayan ca' etc. giving rise to the image of Slesa and not vice versa, as Induraja claims. Mammata quotes Rudrata in this connection. (p. 191, 1. 7) Again? it is not true to say that Upama is possible only where the common property (sadharana dharma) is not mentioned. 1. K. P. IX v. 378. (P. 424). 2. Laghuvstti on V. K. L. S. (P. 56). 3. ibid (P. 55) : " gaze fafaqata15a7afanya377artai sfanga अतोऽनेनानवकाशत्वात् स्वविषयेऽलंकारन्तराण्यपोद्यन्ते, तेषां विषयान्तरे सावकाशत्वात् / " 4. 275#1-atiu|h7 afHinta 7 92974 3772t: 1 ibid (P. 55). Thus in afarg. सुन्दरी नित्यं गलल्लावण्यबिन्दुका' the main figure according to Udbhata and Induraja is Slesa which gives rise to the faint image of Virodha. 5. The original borrows from K.
