A Handbook of Classical Sanskrit Rhetoric
एकेनानेकार्थस्य युगपदुक्ति: श्लेषः । वा. का. ४
एकोच्चारणापहृतभेदत्वं श्लेष । अ. शे. ४.१
संसृष्टि: संकर: Samsrstih Samkarah :
Conjunction of figures:
Though it is very difficult to make a successful anatomy of poetic
diction still rhetoricians and critics always try to explore the lin-
guistic as well as artistic qualities and defeciencies of poetry. Some
Sanskrit rhetoricians are in the habit of searching and analysing all
poetic expression through the concept of alamkāra. Therefore, it is
quite possible that any such expression may contain two or more
figures. In the heritage of classical language, Sanskrit is conspicu-
ously analytico-sythetic due to its phonetic and morphological fea-
tures and for this reason we find here innumerable varieties of allit-
erative and paronomastic pattern in poetry and prose too.
Conjuction and commixture of two or more figures are known
as Samsṛṣṭi and Samkara respectively. These two terms (sam √srj klin
and sam √kṛ ach) literally mean union, combination, association, mix-
ture, amalgam etc. Such combination happens in two ways:
(i) by independent relation (samyoga) and
(ii) by dependent relation (samavāya)
Combination or co-existence of two or more figures in a single
sentence through independent relationship is known as Samsṛṣṭi.
Such union is compared to the combination of tila-taṇḍula (ie mix-
ture of sesamen and rice) or ādarśa-chāyā (ie mirror and its reflec-
tion). According to Kuntaka Samsṛṣṭi happens with the syntax of a
sentence where various words are separately associated and have
separate importance of their own, but ultimately appear as a com-
plete unity and express a combined sense. Here the difference
between the figures is prominent and the amalgam happens in
three ways: in an explicit way, in an implicit way and in both ways.
Samsrsti is threefold:
