करणीयं वचश्चेतः सत्यं तस्यामृतं यथा ॥३९७॥

Dhanyasyānanyasāmānyasaujanyotkarṣaśālinaḥ
Karaṇīyaṁ vachashchetaḥ satyaṁ tasyāmṛtaṁ yathā
‘ He being generous and possessed of uncommon
gentlemanly qualities, his words, true and like nectar as
they are, should be acted up to.’
[Here the common property, sweetness, of nectar and words, has
been omitted].
(2) [Example of the Elliptical Simile omitting the
common property, implied.]
‘ Ākṛṣṭakarabālosau saṁparāye paribhraman
Pratyarthisenayā dṛṣṭaḥ kṛtāntena samaḥ prabhuḥ’
‘ Roaming in battle with the drawn sword, he was
looked upon by the enemies, as equal to the Death-god.’
[Here the common property, cruelty, has been omitted; and as it
is the sameness of action that is meant, the Similitude is ‘implied.’]
(3)-(4)-(5) [Example of the Elliptical Simile, omitting
the common property, (a) directly expressed, in a com-
pound, (b) implied, in a compound and (c) implied, in a
nominal affix.]
‘ Karavāla ivāchārastasya vāgamṛtopamā
Viṣakalpaṁ mano vetsi yadi jīvasi tat sakhe’
‘ You will live if you know that (a) his behaviour is
like that of the sword, (b) his speech is almost like nectar,
and (c) his mind is like poison.’
