CHAPTER X 471
इत्यत्र पुनरालिङ्गनमुपमां निरस्यति सदृशं प्रति परप्रेयसी-
प्रयुक्तस्यालिङ्गनस्यासंभवात् ।
पादाम्बुजं भवतु नो विजयाय मञ्जु-
मञ्जीरशिञ्जितमनोहरमम्बिकायाः ॥५७८॥
इत्यत्र मञ्जीरशिञ्जितम् अम्बुजे प्रतिकूलम् असंभावादिति
रूपकस्यबाधकम् न तु पादेनुकूलमित्युपमायाःसाधकमभिधयते
विध्युपमर्दिनो बाधकस्य तदपेक्षयोत्कटत्वेन प्रतिपत्तेः ॥
एवमन्यत्रापि सुधीभिः परीक्ष्यम् ॥१४०॥
face being so taken; and hence it becomes a reason
for the admission of Metaphor, but not a reason against that
of Simile.
(c) In the passage—'The Goddess of Wealth firmly
embraces you, the King-Viṣṇu',—the mention of 'em-
bracing' excludes the Simile, as it is not possible (right)
for the wife of one person to 'embrace' another who may
be similar to him.
(d) In the passage—'may the lotus-feet of Ambikā,
lovely on account of the jingling of the anklets, ordain
your victory',—the 'jingling' is unfavourable to the
description applying to the lotus whose jingling is impossible
and as such, it is a reason against the admission of Metaphor;
we do not regard it as a reason for the admission of the
Simile, on the ground of its being favourable to its apply-
ing to the feet,—because the fact of its being a negative
reason against (Metaphor) is more obtrusively recognised
than that of its being an affirmative reason for Simile.
Similar deductions may be made by the learned in
other cases also.
