तुल्ययोगिता Tulyayogitā : Equal Matching :
 
tulya means equal, similar, identical, yogitā means the state of mutual
combination, joining, association. Tulyayogitā simply means equal pair-
ing or identical matching by a common property or attribute. In rhetorical
use, it is a kind of poetical expression which shows the combina-
tion of two or more objects, mutually relevant or irrelevant, co-
related or not, with one and the same attribute in the form of qual-
ity or action. Such combination of things is really intended to focus
an idea of praise or blame on either of the two sides. The very
name of the figure signifies its sense ie tulyayoga or association of
two or more by identical quality.
 
Other features of the figure are as follows:
(i) The objects or things combined by some identical quality
may be mutually relevant or irrelevant, co-related or not,
ie. the relation of upameya and upamāna or prastuta
aprastuta or prakṛta and aprakṛta may exist or not.
(ii) Co-relation or combination is made possible by some
attribute applicable to both.
(iii) Though the idea of similitude is present here yet it is
always implied.
 
Kuntaka criticises the views mentioned above and concludes
that Tulyayogita should not be accepted as a separate figure since
the different varieties of it fall under Upamā or Nidarśanā.
