Samsrstihṃkara is a commixture of two or more figures having a rela-
tion of principal and subordinate status. Here we find one figure
co-existing with another while giving itself a secondary position.
But in such case, one alaṃkāra is not getting prominence over the
other but both of them become mutually acceptable. According to

the mixture of milk-and-water (kṣiīra-niīra).

either Samsrstṃsṛṣṭi or Samkara as a separate figure and argues that in

many places figures of sound and sense both exist together. In case
of figures like Rasavat, other figures are sure to occur since in all
sorts of poetic expression there must be some human sentiment or
feeling. Therefore,SŚobhākara maintains that no alamṃkāra can exist
singularly and some figures (like Anuprāsa and Yamaka, Rūpaka
and Ślesṣa) are found unitedly. But Viṣśvanātha rejects such a view
and tries to establish that conjuction or commixture of figures pro-
duces a special kind of poetic charm in many cases, which cannot
be produced by any single figure.
eg 1. Conjuction of Utprekṣā and Upamā :
limpatīva tamo'nʼṅgāni / varṣatīvāñjanamtaṃ nabhaḥ.
asat-puruşa ṣa- seveva / dṛṣtṭir viphalatāmṃ gatā.

लिम्पतीव तमोऽङ्गानि / वर्षतीवाञ्जतं नभः ।
असत्पुरुषसेवेव / दृष्टिर्विफलतां गता ॥
Darkness is coating the limbs, as if,
The sky is downpouring collyrium, as if,
Like servitude unto the undignified master
Eye-sight comes in vain for the on-looker.
