Example—
‘His heart is like Lakṣmī,—Lakṣmī is like his heart;
his splendour is like his body, and his body is like his
splendour; his fortitude is like the earth, and the earth is
like his fortitude.’ 91.
IV—Utprekṣā—Poetic Fancy.
Poetic Fancy consists in the imagining of the thing described
as (identical) with a similar thing.
‘Similar thing’—i.e., that to which it is meant to be
compared.
Example—
‘O beautiful one! I think that the beauty of the
lotus attaches itself to your feet, on being happy at the
idea that her born enemy the Moon, who brooks not her
blossoming during the night, has had the pride of his
beauty quickly suppressed by the splendour of the face
of this lotus-eyed girl.
[Here the object compared is the beauty of the girl’s feet, and
this has been imagined to be the beauty of the lotus fallen on her feet,
which, in reality, is the object to which the former is meant to be
compared.]
