काव्यालङ्कार (आचार्य भामह - भारतीय काव्यशास्त्र एवं अलङ्कार-सिद्धान्त मूल महाग्रन्थ सटीक)

SECOND PARICCHEDA 101
the Moon, its corresponding feature on the Upameya
side has necessarily to be expressed.
आधिक्यमुपमानानां न्याय्यं नाधिकता भवेत् ।
गोक्षीरकुन्दहलिनां विशुद्ध्या सदृशं यशः ॥ ६१ ॥
61. A multiplicity of Upamānas is legitimate,
but not the surplusage of an Upamāna. In pure
whiteness fame is equal to cow's milk, jasmine
and Balarāma.
61. The author elucidates what उपमानाधिकत्व
means. It means only additional factors of an Upa-
māna in a simile for which there are no correspond-
ing factors on the Upameya side. It does not refer
to additional Upamānas. One and the same Upa-
meya is possible to be compared to a number of Upa-
mānas. In the illustration under comment fame is
compared to milk, jasmine flower and Balarāma.
This simile is not faulty. The Genitive case in
गोक्षीरकुन्दहलिनां when juxtaposed with सदृशं is sanctioned
by Pāṇini :—तुल्यार्थैरतुलोपमाभ्यां तृतीयान्यतरस्याम्. Balarāma's
person is reputed to be of white colour. Cf. Mahā-
bhārata, Śalyaparva, Adhyāya 61—
अथ रामं निजग्राह केशवो विनयान्वितः ।
बाहुभ्यां पीनवृत्ताभ्यां प्रयत्नाद्वलवद्वली ॥
सितासितौ यदुवरौ शुशुभातेऽधिकं तदा।
संगताविव राजेन्द्र कैलासाञ्जनपर्वतौ ॥
एकेनैवोपमानेन ननु सादृश्यमुच्यते ।
उक्तार्थस्य प्रयोगो हि गुरुमर्थं न पुष्यति ॥ ६२ ॥
