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

SECOND PARICCHEDA 111
75. Where in a comparison the superiority of
the Upameya is set out they deem it as Vyatireka
since a distinction is brought out. Example
follows.
75. In व्यतिरेक a distinction is set out between
two like objects with a view to bringing out the
superiority of the Upameya. The example given in
Chandrāloka is शैला इवोन्नताः सन्तः किन्तु प्रकृतिकोमलाः.
सितासिते पक्ष्मवती नेत्रे ते ताम्रराजिनी ।
एकान्तशुभ्रश्यामे तु पुण्डरीकासितोत्पले ॥ ७६ ॥
76. Your eyes possessed of eyelashes and shin-
ing like copper are both white and black whereas
the white and black lotuses are solely white or black.
76. A lady's eyes are generally compared to
lotuses, white or blue. A lady's eyes are black in
the centre i.e., the portion represented by pupils and
white around. They also bear the reddish colour of
copper due to transfusion of white and black streaks.
On the other hand the Upamāna viz., पुण्डरीक is pure-
ly white. Vide Amara :- पुण्डरीकं सिताम्भोजम्. And नीलोत्पलं
is wholly blue black. The Upameya is therefore
marked by a distinction which raises it above the
Upamānas.
