GLOSSARY

sama
sama, "together': (1) a figure in which is depicted an appropriate conjunc-
tion of events, persons, or qualities. (2) M 193. (3) dhātuḥ śilpâtiša-
yanikaşasthānam eșā mṛgâkṣī । rüpe devo'py ayam anupamo datta-
patraḥ smarasya । jātam daivāt sadṛśam anayoḥ samgatam yat tad
etat śrngārasyöpanatam adhunā rājyam ekâtapatram (Mammaţa;
a marriage is described: "This doe-eyed maiden is the veritable
touchstone of the creator's skill; in beauty, the King is incomparable
and the given vessel of Love itself! That their union should come
about through fate means that the kingdom of Love has been
brought under one umbrella!"). (4) "Happy, happy, happy Pair! /
None but the Brave, / None but the Brave, / None but the Brave
deserves the Fair" (John Dryden). (5) In origin, this figure may simply
be an adverb mistaken for a name in an enumerative verse. The
Agni Purāṇa affirms that the arthålamkāra (q.v.) are eight in number
(344.2-3); the chapter is devoted to definitions of them, and from
that text, we learn that the eight are svarūpa (3), sādṛśya (5), utprekṣā
(25), atiśaya (26), višeşôkti (27), vibhāvanā (28), virodha (29), and
hetu (30). The introductory verse enumerating the eight gives, how-
ever, only seven, ignoring viseşôkti. After hetu, the words "samam
astadhā" ("together, eightfold') close the half verse, presumably to
fill out the metre. Later commentators and writers, apparently
ignoring the body of the text, have raised this superfluous adverb
(samam) into the eighth arthålamkāra, and it is included in all later
anthologies, starting with Mammața. The Sarasvatīkaṇṭhâbharaṇa,
which follows the Agni Purāṇa closely, does not mention samâlam-
kāra. There is a sāmya, but it refers to intimated similes. If this
interpretation is correct, we have here an excellent instance of the
eclectic resilience of the later encyclopaedists. None of the printed
texts of the Agni Purāņa, not even the so-called critical edition of
S. M. Bhattacharya, seem to have noticed this anacoluthon.
samadhi
samadhi, 'conjunction': (1) a figure in which a desired effect is accomplished
by the coincidental intervention of another and quite irrelevant
cause. (2) M 192. (3) mānam asyā nirākartum pādayor me patișyataḥ
। upakārāya diṣṭyėdam udīrṇam ghanagarjitam (Mammața: "As I
fell at her feet to beg respite from her wrath, to my aid came a
great exploding thunderclap"). (4) "I asked professors who teach
the meaning of life to tell me what is happiness. And I went to
