Anuprāsaḥ: Alliteration
may be classified as mithuna (pair), venika (cluster), citra (mixed)
and vicitra (harmonious)
Gramya is either masrna or utkata (soft or hard) All the varieties
mentioned above may again be divided into three groups:
(i) based on sound (soft, medium and hard),
(ii)
based on the position of words and structure of sen-
tences,
(iii)
based on phonetically identical letters (as classified by
grammarians such as voiced and unvoiced, aspirates
and non-aspirates, surds and sonants etc. In ancient
Greek rhetoric followed by Latin, different varieties of
this pattern are known as alliteratio, paromoeon, polyto-
pon, lannomination or homoeoteleuton.
eg 1. Soft Alliteration (with 1 sound)
lalita-lavanga-lata-parisilana-komala-malaya-samire
ललित - लवङ्ग - लता - परिशीलन कोमल - मलय- समीरे
In the cool southern breeze coming through the
tender lavanga creepers ...
2. Alliteration with repetition of words:
sarvam duḥkham duḥkham, sarvam kṣaṇikam ksaṇikam,
sarvam śünyam sūnyam.
सर्वं दुःखं दुःखम्, सर्वं क्षणिकं क्षणिकम्, सर्वं शून्यं शून्यम् ।
Everything is but sorrowful, everything transient,
everything void.
3. Mixed Alliteration:
manda-mandam-uditaḥ prayayau kham bhita-bhīta iva
sita-mayukhah
मन्दमन्दमुदितः प्रययौ खं भीतभीत इव शीतमयूखः ।
The cool-beamed moon slowly and slowly rose and
spread over the sky as if freightened and freightened.
Some other example of different varieties of anuprāsa:
i) anuprāsa based on syllables (Varṇa anuprāsa) :
प्रणवः प्रवणो यथा प्रथमः प्रमथेषु यः ।
pranavaḥ pravano yatha prathamaḥ pramathesu yaḥ.
