(«.) general {asesavattlmvisaya), v. 214-217. 



(S.) partial (elcadescwivatti), v. 218-221. 

 each of which may be exhibited by means of compounded words, or 

 words not compounded, or both combined, v. 214. The author says the 

 varieties of metaphor, both proper and improper, are too numerous to be 

 dwelt upon here, v. 222. Subjoined is a specimen of a proper metaphor : — 



' Oh Sage ! whose heart indeed is not drawn to thy attractive coun- 

 tenance, bright as white flowers, with tremulous black bee eyes ?' v. 223. 



The following are examples respectively of («) imperfect (Jchandi- 

 tarupalcam), and (b) perfect {sundararupaham') , metaphors, v. 224 — 



(«) ' candim' akasapadumam', the lotus rising in the heavens is the 

 moon. 



(b) ' ambhoruhayanarn nettani ', eyes which are a cluster of water-lilies. 



4. Redundancy (avutti). The repetition may be threefold, v. 226, 

 namely as regards 



(a.) the sense (atthavutti), v. 227. 

 {b.) a word {padavutti), v. 228. 

 (c.) or both (iibhay avutti), v. 229. 



5. The Illuminator (dipdkam). The figure is manifested when 

 things, such as actions, kinds, or qualities, although expressed in one part of 

 a sentence, illuminate the whole of it, v. 230 ; and it has three varieties, 

 arising from the action, kind, or quality, being expressed in the sentence 

 at the 



(a.) beginning (adidipaJcam), v. 231. 



(b.) middle (majjha — ), v. 232. 



(c.) end (anta — ), v. 233. 

 If a series (of actions, kinds, or qualities) is exhibited in succession, each 

 one being dependent on the one preceding, the figure is termed ' a string 

 of Illuminators' (mdladipaJcam), vv. 234, 235. 



6. Hint {ahlcliepo), when it is intended to say something special, that 

 which apparently suppresses or denies it, is termed Hint, v. 237. It is 

 threefold, pertaining to what 



(«.) has been said (atitalcJehepo), v. 238. 



(b.) as being said (vattamdntiklehepo), v. 239. 



(c.) is about to be said (anagatakJihepo), v. 240. 



7. Transition, {attliantaranyasd) is the introduction of another sense 

 into the subject (such as a moral reflection), v. 241. It is twofold, 

 namely : — 



(a.) general (sabbavydpi — ), v. 242, 243. 



(&.) partial (visesatha — ), v. 244, 245. 

 each kind being distinguished by the absence and presence of the emphatic 

 particle { ni\
