GLOSSARY
 
(2) D 2.360 (362). (5) In Daṇḍin, the term is opposed to añgangi,
in the sense that no relation of implication exists between the two
figures; in Rudrața, however, it is opposed to avyaktamsa, in that
the parts of the phrase expressing the several figures are physically
separable. The two ideas are therefore of differing extent, but in
intent they are the same.
 
samkara
 
samkara, 'intermixture': (1) another word for samsṛșți.
 
samkirna
 
samkīrṇa, 'commingled': (1) another word for samsṛṣți.
 
samkşepa
 
samkşepa, 'abbreviation': (1) terseness, condensation of meaning into
few words. (2) AP 345.6. (5) This is one of the sabdârthâlamkāra
of the Agni Purāṇa.
 
samdeha
 
samdeha, 'doubt': (1) a figure in which the speaker hesitates to identify
which of two similar things is which; the expression of a similitude
through the affectation of an inability to decide the relative identity
of two things the subject and object of comparison. (2) B 3.42 (43),
V 4.3.11, U 6.2-3, R 8.59-64, M 138. kim idam līnâlikulam
kamalam kim vā mukham sunīlakacam । iti samsete lokas tvayi
sutanu sarovatīrṇāyām (Rudrata; cf. samsaya: "As you descend to
the lake, O Lovely, onlookers are bound to wonder if that is a face
set in hair of darkest hue or a bee-girt lotus"). (4) "Mr. Smith,
suddenly meeting the lovely young thing, may not be sure whether
his feet are treading a polished studio floor or whether they have
little Mercury wings on them that waft him through the empyrean
(Oliver Onions). (5) Rudraţa names this figure samsaya,
departing from tradition slightly (the word also means 'doubt"),
perhaps because he enlarges the scope of the figure beyond simile
(see samsaya II). Daṇḍin (2.358) mentions the figure only to assert
its identity with his samsaya upama. The figure has two forms in the
early writers, judging by the examples offered; this difference is
recognized by Rudrata and Mammaţa, who subdivide into those
doubts about which no attempt is made to decide (aniścaya),
following Dandin and Vāmana, and those in which the doubt is
