CHAPTER X 357
उपमानानुपादाने वाक्यगा समासगा ॥ ८८ ॥
सअलकरणपरवीसामसिरिविअरणं ण सरसकव्वस्स ।
दीसइ अह वा णिसम्मइ सरिसं अंसंसमेत्तेण ॥४००॥
कव्वस्सेत्यत्र कव्वसममिति सरिसमित्यत्र च णूणमिति पाठे
एषैव समासगा ॥८८॥
वादेर्लोपे समासे सा कर्मधारक्यचि क्यङि ।
कर्मकर्त्रोर्णमुलि ॥
[(a) ‘Karabāla-iva, is a ‘nitya’ compound, where the case-termina-
tion of the first member is not elided, and the common property of
murderousness is omitted ;—(b) ‘amṛtopamā’ omits the common property
of sweetness, and the similitude is implied, the term ‘upamā’ directly
expressing merely resemblance in general;—(c) ‘viṣakalpam’ ends in the
nominal affix ‘kalpa,’ which denotes approximate resemblance in general,
and hence the Simile is an implied one, and the common property
of harmfulness has been omitted.]
(6) (7) On the omission of the ‘object compared to’, the
Simile occurs in a sentence and in a compound.
(6) [Example of Elliptical Simile, omitting the object
compared to, occurring in a sentence]—
‘Saalakarāṇaparavīsāmasiriviaraṇaṁ ṇa sarasakavvassa
Dīsaï aha vā ṇisammaï sarisaṁ aṁsaṁsametteṇa’
‘ ‘For affording pleasure to the highest senses, nothing
is either known or seen to be equal to charming poetry,
even in its smallest part.’
[The object to which Poetry is compared is not mentioned, and
the similitude is implied by the sentence.]
(7) In this same verse if we read ‘kavvasamaṁ’ for
‘kavvassa,’ and ‘ṇūnaṁ’ for ‘sarisaṁ’, we have an example
of the same kind of Simile occurring in a compound. 88.
On the omission of ‘vā’ and such other terms (expressing
similitude), it occurs (8) in a compound, (9) in the affix
