through the relation of vastu-prativastu (ie type-and-prototype).
Ordinarily we find here some proposition is established first
and then another similar proposition is given for its support. Here
the contextual and the non-contextual are given in two separate
sentences and at least one common aspect of similitude between
them is separately indicated, but their mutual relation of similitude
is always suggested and never directly stated.
eg 1. dhanyāsi vaidarbhi guṇair udārair
yayā samākṛṣyata naiṣadhoʼpi,
itaḥ stutiḥ kā khalu candrikāyā
yad abdhim apyuttaralīkaroti.
धन्यासि वैदर्भि गुणैरुदारैर् / यया समाकृष्यत नैषधोऽपि ।
इतः स्तुतिः का खलु चन्द्रिकाया / यदब्धिमप्युत्तरलीकरोति ॥
O Vaidarbhi! by virtues noble blessed thou art,
By which even the king Naiṣadhya you attract;
Hence what praise does the moon deserve --
Even the sea to overflow that does serve.
Here the poet describes how Damayanti, the princess of
Vidarbha country, attracts Nala, the renowned king, by her noble
qualities. This statement has been implicitly compared to the act of
overflowing of the sea by the attraction of the moonbeams. Here
similitude between the two is implied through the use of two sepa-
rate verbs (ie samākṛṣyata and uttaralī-karoti)
