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

THIRD PARICCHHEDA 155
44. Is he the Moon ? But he does not shine in
the day. Is he the flower-armed Cupid ? But the bow
of this one is not made up of flowers. Thus does
my mind speculate in wonder while looking at you,
but does not reach a conclusion.
44. ससंदेह illustrated. In eulogy of a king the
doubt is first raised—किमयं शशी to bring out his extra-
ordinary resplendency. It is immediately followed
by an argument to the contrary. The moon does not
shine in the day whereas this king does. Next the
doubt is raised whether he is Cupid in view of his
extraordinary loveliness. It is followed by an argu-
ment to the contrary. Cupid's bow is formed of
flowers whereas the king's is made of steel and the
like. In the first foot the negative statement refers
to the absence of the Upameya's quality in the Upa-
māna. In the second foot it refers to the absence
of the Upamāna's quality in the Upameya.
अनन्वयालंकारः (32)
यत्र तेनैव तस्य स्यादुपमानोपमेयता ।
असादृश्यविवक्षात्तस्तमित्याहुरनन्वयम् ॥ ४५ ॥
45. Where the relationship of Upamāna and
Upameya is of an object with itself— (where an
object is compared to itself) to suggest the absence
of likeness in any other object the figure is Anan-
vaya.
