'Pratīyamāna artha' - as seen in the earlier alamkarikas...
Bhamaha defines apahnuti (concealment) at III. 21, as -
"apahnutir abhiṣṭā ca kiñcid antargatopamā, bhṛtārthápahnavād asyāḥ kriyate cábhidha yathā."
Thus, for Bhāmaha, aphnuti has clearly an element of upama implied - 'kiñcid antargata' in it.
Tatacharya explains (pp. 69, ibid) :
"apahnutiḥ pratiṣedhā"tmā prasiddhā. tatra sarvatra alamkārabhāvo neṣyate. kim tu yatra upamā gamyate, sa pratiṣedha iha apahnutiḥ. tad āha - kiñcid iti. 'kiñcid antargatiḥ vinā vacanam pratīyamānatā..."
III. 23 (K.L.) defines viseṣoktiḥ (peculiar allegation) as, :
"ekadeśasya vigame ya gunántara-samsthitiḥ, viseṣa-prathanāyásau
viseṣoktir matā yathā..."
when a portion of it is lost, another quality (or portion) survives to enhance the superiority of an object, the figure of speech is viseṣokti. This added sense i.e. of kāraṇántara-kalpana is always implied.
In the same way tulyayogita (equal pairing) (Bhamaha, III. 27) has an element of similarity implied in it. It occurs when in order to suggest some similarity in qualities, in case of two objects, one of which is smaller in status, both are narrated as being connected through an identical action.
Bhamaha, III. 27 says:
"nyūnasyapi viśiştena guṇa-sāmya-vivakṣayā tulya-karya-kriyā-yogāt iti uktā tulyayogitā."
III. 29, defines aprastuta-praśamsā (indirect eulogy) as,
"adhikārād apetasya vastunónyasya yā stutiḥ, aprastuta-prasamseti
să caivam kathyate yathā."
