GLOSSARY
155
certina with a hole in it" (Joyce Cary). (5) Cf. sadṛśavyatireka.
kimcitsadṛśī, 'somewhat similar': (1) an upamā in which one subject is
compared to several objects by means of several properties. (2)
NS 16.46 (51), AP 344.21. (3) sampurṇacandravadanā nīlôtpalada-
lêkṣaṇā । mattamātañgagamanā samprāptêyam sakhi mama (Bharata:
"My friend has been at last secured whose face is like the full moon,
whose eyes resemble the petals of the blue lotus, whose walk is
undulant like a rutting elephant"). (4) "Eustacia's dream... had as
many ramifications as the Cretan labyrinth, as many fluctuations
as the Northern Lights, as much colour as a parterre in June, and
was as crowded with figures as a coronation" (Thomas Hardy).
(5) This figure differs from utprekşita in that property is there unique,
from ekadešin in that the similitudes are there subsidiary in a whole,
and from samuccaya in that there we have but one object.
gamana, 'going': (1) probably the same as rašanā upamā (2) AP 344.20.
(5) Since the Agni Purāṇa gives no examples, the definition of this
unique item is subject to caution. The text reads: "upameyam yad
anyasya tad anyasyopamā matā । yady uttarottaram yāti tadâsau
gamanôpamā" (if the upameya of one term is deemed the upama of
another, and the sequence is continued, then this is gamana').
catu, 'flattering words': (1) an upama in which the real difference between
subject and object-that of possessing the common property to a
lesser and a greater degree, respectively-though recognized, is
voluntarily ignored. (2) D 2.35. (3) mrgêkşanâñkam te vaktram
mṛgenaivánkitaḥ śaśī / tathapi sama evâsau nôtkarşī (Daṇḍin: "Your
glance is learned from the gazelle. The moon is marked with the
gazelle itself: he is thus quite similar, but in no way superior").
(4) "Ask me no more where Jove bestows, / When June is past,
the fading rose; / For in your beauty's orient deep / These flowers,
as in their causes, sleep" (Thomas Carew). (5) Catu differs from
atisaya in that there the difference between the subject and object,
as far as the common property is concerned, is cancelled.
namul (fictive for the accusative absolute in -am): (1) an upamă in which
the force of the comparison is rendered by means of such a construc-
tion. (2) U 1.20. (3) sa dagdhavigraheṇâpi vīryamātrasthitâtmanā ।
spṛṣṭaḥ kāmena samanyaprāṇicintam acintayat (Udbhata: "Touched
by Love, though Love's body was consumed and his force consisted
of heroism alone, Siva remained pensive with cares common to all
men"). (4) "Another head came into view from behind the wings of a
chair, and its owner glared at us with a Harvard accent" (Peter de
