GLOSSARY
(2) R 8.29 (31). (3) kamaladalair adharair iva daśanair iva kesarair
virājante alivalayair alakair iva kamalair vadanair iva nalinyaḥ
(Rudrata: "The lotuses are splendid-their petals like lips, their
filaments like teeth, bees like locks of hair swarming about their
face-like blooms"). (4) "... Mr. Moseley came in and knocked on
the counter with a half crown. His face was as red as red ink; and
he had a complete new colour scheme, all in browns. Brown suit,
the colour of old ale. Golden brown tie like lager. Brown boots
shining like china beer handles. Guinness socks. And a new brown
bowler, the colour of bitter beer, over his left eye" (Joyce Cary).
(5) See samastavastu upamā, in which the major terms are men-
tioned.
ekabahu, 'singular-plural': (1) an upamā in which the subject is plural
and the object singular. (2) NŚ 16.42 (43). (3) śaśâñkavat prakāśante
jyotimsi (Bharata: "The stars shine like the rabbit-marked moon").
(4) "These parties of theirs... were like chain-smoking: each cigarette
was lighted in the hope that it might be more satisfactory than the
rest" (Vita Sackville-West). (5) By later writers, non-parallelism
of number is considered a defect (vacanabheda doşa). Here we have
a curious inconsistency in the general tendency to preserve a classi-
fication at any cost. The terms of most similes are, of course, paral-
lel: "She stood breast-high among the corn, / Like the sweet-
heart of the sun" (Thomas Hood).
kalpapprabhṛti, 'having the form of, etc.': (1) upamā which contains
such an expression of comparison instead of the comparative particle
("as", "like"). (2) U 1.21. (3) caṇḍalakalpe kandarpam pluştvå
mayi tirohite / samjātâtulanairāśyā kim sā śokān mṛtā bhavet (Udbha-
ta: "While I was hidden there in the form of an outcaste man, Love
was consumed; and she [Pārvatī], in whom an immense despair was
born, appeared about to die of sorrow"). (4) "... drawn with Düreres-
que vigor and dash" (Thomas Hardy). (5) For other examples of
similes formed with taddhita suffixes, see s.v. and sadrsa, samāsa.
kalpita, 'artificial': (1) an upamā wherein the similitude is stated in terms
of comparable properties of the subject and object, but not through
one property, common to both. (2) NŚ 16.46 (49), AP 344.21, R 8.13
(14). (3) mukham apurṇakapolam mṛgamadalikhitârdhapattralekham
te । bhāti lasatsakalakalam sphutalañchanam indubimbam iva (Rudra-
ța: "Your face, full-cheeked and bearing the beauty marks of musk,
resembles the full moon's orb with its argent spots"). (4) "I saw
the professor winking at me so hard that his face was like a con-
