out-shoot, out-brag, out-drink, and out-fight, rough and tumble,
no holds barred, any man on both sides of the river from Pittsburgh
to New Orleans and back again to St. Louis. My trigger finger itches
and I want to go redhot. War, famine and bloodshed puts flesh on
my bones, and hardship's my daily bread"" (Carl Sandburg).
(5) As the third in the trio preyas, rasavat, ūrjasvi, this figure may
originally have meant "excess in the portrayal of a rasa", and this
explanation is in fact adopted by Udbhata, though his example in
no way differs from the one given. The other two writers seem to
pair ürjasvi with preyas (excess of animosity and excess of compliance).
Mammaţa treats this trio, not under alamkāra, but in 'subordinated
suggestion' (gunibhūtavyañgyadhvani; 66 ff.). He tries to reintegrate
Anandavardhana, who was not interested in figures except as they
manifested a kind of imperfect dhvani, into the poetic tradition.
Cf. rasavat and udātta.

arranged that a notion introduced as a qualification (direct object,

abloom with lotuses and the lotuses are replete with sweet-smelling
nectar; the nectar is attracting bee swarms, and the bees are gently
buzzing"). (4) "I come from the city of Boston, / The home of the
bean and the cod, / Where the Cabots speak only to Lowells, / And

where a similar causal sequence is portrayed, and sāra, where a
gradation of excellences constitutes the "necklace". Mālā ('garland')
has of course been associated with many figures, notably upama,
as a series of (usually) concatenated comparisons. The present
figure illustrates a rhetorical form only-that of superadded qualifi-
cation.
