CHAPTER X 351
‘तेन तुल्यं मुखम्’ इत्यादावुपमेये एव ‘तत्तुल्यमस्य’ इत्यादौ
चोपमाने एव ‘इदं च तच्च तुल्यम्’ इत्युभयत्रापि तुल्यादिशब्दानां
विश्रान्तिरिति साम्यपर्यालोचनया तुल्यताप्रतीतिरिति साधर्म्य-
स्यार्थत्वात्तुल्यादिशब्दोपादाने आर्थी तद्वत् ‘तेन तुल्यं क्रिया
चेद्वतिः’ इत्यनेन विहितस्य वतेः स्थितौ ।
“इवेन नित्यसमासो विभक्त्यलोपः पूर्वपदप्रकृतिस्वरत्वं
च” इति नित्यसमासे इवशब्द्योगे समासगा ।। क्रमेणोदाहरणम्-—
On the other hand, it is a case of Implied Simile, where
the similitude is implied by the presence of such terms as
‘tulya’, ‘equal’ and the like ; this equality as expressed
by the term ‘equal’ and the like being comprehended by
the due recognition of similarity (a) in the ‘object com-
pared’,—where the expression used is in the form ‘the
face is equal to that (i. e. the lotus),’ (b) in the ‘object
compared to’, where the expression used is in the form
‘that (lotus) is equal to this (face),’ and (c) in both, where
the expression is in the form ‘this (face) and that (lotus) are
equal.’ So it is also in cases where the affix ‘vati’ is used
in accordance with Pāṇini 5.1.115 (which prescribes the
use of the affix in the sense of similarity of action.)
We have the directly expressed Simile occurring in a
compound, in cases where the compound is formed with
the term ‘iva’, in accordance with the Vārttika under
Pāṇini 2.1.4 and 2.4.71—‘There is nitya compounding
with the term iva; where the case-termination of the pre-
ceding member is not dropped and where the preceding
member takes the accent of its crude form.’
Examples are cited in order.
