of prowithering appears throughout the ‘string’—as in the
verse.—‘ Like royal splendour, through injustice and corrup-
tion,—like prowess through poverty,—like the lotus
through frost,—she has withered through sorrow ;’
—and the other in which diverse common properties are
involved,—e. g., in the verse—‘ Like light, she is a joy
to the eyes ; like wine, she is maddening; and like sove-
reignty, she attracts to herself all the world ;’—and (b)
the Rashanopamā, the ‘Girdle-simile’, where the object
compared in the preceding Simile becomes the object com-
pared to in the succeeding one, with its two varieties, as
before; with the same or diverse common properties ;
e.g., (A) “ When the King brings together hosts of suppli-
cants like waves on his hand which is full of water used,
in his continuous gifts of gold, his heart is like his words,
like his heart his actions, and his fame pure like his ac-
tions ’;—and (B) ‘ Of the King, the body is sweet like
his heart, his court powerful as his body, and his victory
irrepressible by enemies, like his court.’
But we have not described these, because in the first
place there are thousands of such possible varieties, and
secondly, they are not such as cannot be included under
the varieties already described above. 90.
