Ekavali: Chain
 
रसभावतदाभासभावशान्तिनिबन्धनाः ।
 
चत्वारो रसवत्प्रेय ऊर्जस्वि च समाहितम् ॥
 
रसाभास भावाभासश्च यत्रापरस्याङ्गं तदूर्जस्वि । कु. २३०
 
Üha 3: Doubt:
 
It is otherwise called Vitarka or Sambhāvanā. In Mimänsä philoso-
phy, üha is a technical term. In rhetoric, it is simply a poetic device
based on doubt in the form either this or that. Bhoja calls it Ūha,
while Appayya and Jayadeva named it Sambhāvanā.
 
Üha is a kind of judgement either ending in doubt (sandehānta)
or in certainty (niścayānta). The first variety may be threefold in
nature ie. based on falsity, based on true idea or the mixture of
both. It is the same as Sandeha.

alamit Ekávali: Chain :
 
The word ekávali (eka avali) literally means chain, repetition of the
same in successive order. As a figure of speech it belong to the class
of chain repetition (ie śrmkhalāmüla). It was first introduced by
Rudrata and then recognised by most of the distinguished
rhetoricians.
 
Like Mālādīpaka Ekāvalī also exhibits a kind of reciprocal superi-
ority. But such superiority in Ekavali is always related to the latter one,
ie the former one always becomes less superior to the latter one.
