Yathāsamkhyam: Relative Order
यथासंख्यम् Yathāsamkhyam : Relative Order :
Yathāsamkhya literally means description of something in a relative order.
Rhetorically it occurs when a reference about some object is poeti-
cally given in a methodical order or sequence. This figure is other-
wise termed Samkhyana or Krama by some scholars.
The salient features of this alamkāra are as follows:
(i) there is a reference to two or more objects,
(ii)
these objects are ideally set in a proper sequence (ie one
after another),
(iii)
the contextual and the non-contextual (ie the upameya
and the upamāna or the prastuta and the aprastuta) are
given in a definite order,
(iv) either some words or ideas are put in a proper order,
(v) some ideas are connected together in such a sequence
that the entire meaning of the statement becomes
revealed in the order of one idea focussing the another
in the given order.
eg 1. satrum mitram dvisat paksam
jaya ranjaya bhanjaya.
शत्रुं मित्रं द्विषत्पक्षं / जय रंजय भंजय ।
Your foes, your friends, your enemies
You conquer, you satisfy, you subsidize.
