[ P. 399. A. 6. $. 31.
(2) Sometimes one figure gives rise to another figure and thus becomes a means ( 376 ) of another figure (BFT).
For instance in 662 the poet says:
"Oh King! when the whole world is whitened with your fame, a taât picks up the fruits of jujube; a crow standing before the owls appears to be a swan; and Laxmi feels nervous before but who now looks like a ti ( white - complexioned brother of Krishna ).
Here the figure Bifamatfeti (in the statement 'the world is whitened with your fame') gives rise to the figure THT (in the statements of the fait, crow etc.).
Similarly, in the verse 663 the chief figure is zate ( the king being shown superior to the ocean ), but this व्यतिरेक is helped by *लेष in स जडात्मा meaning a fool and a watery thing ).
Again in 664, the chief figure is aita (in curlstaiनुरक्ता अपि कर्णावलम्बिनी) but it is supported by the figure
( in 607, B45a, 40 etc. ).
Similarly, in f ata sifa etc. ( verse 665 ) the main figure is 8791aTre ( what is impossible for a person equipped with $131 and ?), but it does not stand unless we take a (in the words ou and yos).
(3) Sometimes it is difficult to decide what particular figure is in a verse, for the words as they stand are capable of being interpreted in favour of two or more figures. This is the third variety of 1561. usually, however, in such cases one particular figure cannot be fixed up, because of the absence of context for the verse.
The illustration of this sort of g is given in 666.
