to give the underdog a better kennel" (Frederick Lewis Allen). (5)
The girl and the swan (as the lover and the lake) share no common
property (guna) in the eyes of the Indian aestheticians, which is only
to say that the basis of the comparison is to be sought in a verb, in
an action (kriyā), rather than in a qualification; cf. vāk yârtha upamā.
Similarly, in the English example, the principal analogy is drawn
between the two acts of uplift, though the similarity between the dog
and the lower classes is perhaps more vivid than that between the
lover and the lake.
