86 BHĀMAHĀLAṄKĀRA
39 & 40. Medhāvin's enumeration of seven
defects of उपमा is mentioned with approval by
Bhāmaha. मेधाविन् must be an author of a work in
poetics, more ancient than Bhāmaha. His work
is not available now. Medhāvin is referred to later
on in II—88—प्रसंख्यानमिति मेधाविनोत्प्रेक्षाभिहिता क्वचित् । Medhā-
vin (or Medhāvirudra) is named and quoted by
Namisādhu in his commentary on Rudraṭa's Kāvyā-
laṁkāra I—1 and XI—24.

the Upamāna side all the factors of the Upameya do
not find a counterpart. मारुतेन आकम्पितं पीतं वासः यस्य Bear-
ing a yellow garment waving in the breeze. शशिभासं
अब्जं सलीलं बिभ्रत् Gracefully bearing his moon-white
conch. प्रगृहीतशार्ङ्गः Holding his Śārṅga bow. स यदुपवीरः
