sequence of related comparatives; here the comparative degree of
the adjective connects the series of terms as, in ekâvalī, they were
connected through the notion of qualification and, in kāraṇamālā,
through the relation of cause and effect. See also the various similes
and metaphors extended into sequences (mālā).
GLOSSARY
sükşma
sūkşma (I), 'subtle': (1) a figure in which an intention or idea is said to be
conveyed through a gesture, glance, or means other than language.
(2) B 2.86, D 2.235, 260 (261-64), M 189. (3) padmasammilanād
atra súcito nisi samgamaḥ । āśvāsayitum icchantyā priyam angaja-
pīḍitam (Daṇḍin: "Putting a lotus on, she indicates a rendez-vous
that night, desiring to comfort her love-lorn favorite"). (4) "The
voice was Southern and gentle and drawling; and a second voice
came in immediate answer, cracked and querulous: 'It ain't again.
Who says it's again? Who told you, anyway?" And the first voice
responded caressingly:-'Why, your Sunday clothes told me, Uncle
Hughey. They are speakin' mighty loud o' nuptials"" (Owen
Wister). (5) The Sanskrit example is literal, the English attributes an
intention to an inanimate object. This figure is one of several
dealing with communication (see paryāya, vakrôkti, leśa). It may
seem curious that a figure of speech could be defined in an area which
is specifically non-verbal or extra-verbal. In the first place, the figure
is a representation of such an occurrence in words and may be com-
patible with figurative usage. Secondly, taken in the context of the
other figures indicating an intention of the speaker, the present
figure has a certain place in the system and may not be ignored.
sūkşma (II): (1) same as utprekṣā of Daṇḍin. (2) R 7.98 (99).
smaraṇa
smarana, 'recollection': (1) a figure conveying a recollection based on
similitude. (2) M 199. (3) nimnanābhikuhareşu yad ambhaḥ plävitam
caladṛśām laharībhiḥ । tadbhavaiḥ kuharutaiḥ suranāryaḥ smārītāḥ
suratakantharutānām (Mammața: "The water of the waves laps
in the deep navels of the swift-glancing nymphs, reminding one of
goddesses making love and the throaty murmurings of their pas-
sion"). (4) "Her presence brought memories of such things as Bour-
bon roses, rubies and tropical midnights; her moods recalled lotus-
eaters and the march in Athalie'; her motions, the ebb and flow
of the sea; her voice, the viola" (Thomas Hardy). (5) The point of
