Dipaspecial features. This alaṃkam: Illumination
 
special featuresāra occurs when the prastuta and the
aprastuta both become mutually related with the same attribute.
This alamttribute may be represented by jāti, guṇa, dravya or kāra occurs when the prastuta and the
aprastuta both become mutually related with the same attributeriyā.
This attribute may be represented by jāti, guṇa, dravya or kriyā. (ie

genus, attribute, object or action). Therefore, the main features of

the figure may be ascertained thus:
 

 
a) the special attribute of the prastuta or prākaraṇika or

upameya (ie the object of description) illuminates not

only its own self but also the aprastuta (ie the non-contex-

tual related to the contextual),
 

b) any quality or attribute either of the prastuta or the apras-

tuta is referred to as illuminating the other.
 

c) the upameya and the upamāna stand inter-related with the

same attribute.

Upamā, Tulyayogitā and Diīpaka bear slight difference among

themselves. In Upamā likeness of two things is always explicitly

stated, but in Diīpaka and Tulyayogitāait it is always implied.
 

 
In Diīpaka, one attribute co-relates one or many prastuta as well

as aprastuta objects, but in Tulyayogitā all objects are either prastuta

or aprastuta (ie contextual or non-contextual). But Jagannātha is

not ready to accept these two as separate figures since they

have, according to him, no special distinguishing feature

between them.

Owing to pride of power, like before, still now,
 

The demon is tormenting the world, willing to conquer.

Like a chaste wife, man's unvacillating nature
 

Approaches him even in other births.
