APPENDIX
Figures Defined for the First Time in the Encyclopedic
Writers after Mammata
The number in parentheses refers to the serial order of the figure in the
Kuvalayānanda of Appayyadīkşita, from which we take the examples.
atyukti (96): the representation of great nobility, compassion, etc.
(variation on udatta); as: "by your gifts, King, beggars become
horns of plenty!"
anuguņa (78): a second quality augments or sets off the first (a variety
of tadguna, the modality is association rather than imposition); as:
"the blue lotuses appear a deeper blue in the presence of her sidelong
glances".
anujñā (71): an affected desire for a defect, setting off a quality (a virodha
in which the contraries are specified as guṇa and doșa; the example
is also an āšiş); as: "may our sufferings be prolonged, that we may
praise Hari the more fervently".
anupalabdhi (115): a poetic application of the mîmāņsaka pramāṇa
'abhāva" (cf. pratyakşa (108)); as: "your delicate waist, clearly

arthāpatti (59, 114): the mīmāmsaka pramāṇa 'a fortiori" (cf. pratyakşa
(108)), the only one generally considered a figure before Appayya,
and undoubtedly the analogical source for the others; as: "the moon
himself has been conquered by your face; what hope is there for the
lotuses?"
alpa (42): the support exceeds the supported in minuteness (inversion of
adhika); as: "the jeweled finger ring on your hand seems more like a
rosary".
avajña (70); the description of an absent quality or defect by means of
