Unmilitam : Unfolding
This alamkāra was first defined in the Vişnudharmottarapurāṇa
and afterwards accepted by Rudrața, Hemacandra, Vāgbhaṭa and
others. From the definitions it is not clear whether the intended
sense is either connotative or denotative. Hemacandra asserts that
the intended meaning (which is different from the primary mean-
ing) is available in the following way:
(a) from general to particular,
(b) from particular to general,
(c) from cause to effect,
(d)
from effect to cause,
(e) from the primary meaning to any secondary meaning.
Upanyasa can be easily included in Anyokti or Paryayokti
(Periphrasis) or Lakṣaṇā (extension of meaning) or Anumana
(Inference).
Alamkāra texts do not give any example of this figure and hence
the examples of Anyokti etc may be taken into consideration.

3-14 Unmīlitam : Unfolding :
ut √mil ta<kta unmilita means unfolding, opening, blowing, awakening
etc. It is an uncommon figure recognised by late scholars like
Jagannātha and Appayya. In this figurative expression, some sort of
dissimilitude between two (ie the contextual and the non-contex-
tual) based on poetic imagery gets unfolded due to some special
cause.
eg 1. lakṣitānyudite candre padmāni ca mukhāni ca.
लक्षितान्युदिते चन्द्रे पद्मनि च मुखानि च ।
Hardly had the moon risen
When the lotuses as well as the beautiful faces were seen.
