The Sameness. [Sahitya-darpana, 745.]
"The Sameness is when something in question is spoken of as having become indistin. guishable from something else, through a likeness of properties; as for example: -
The intent eye of the lady and the lotus behind her ear were indistinguishable (farq nahi).' Here owing to the resemblance between the lotus and the eye of the lady intently gazing on her beloved, they could not be distinguished.]

When owing to a likeness of properties, the difference (between one thing and another similar thing, in which it is merged, is not noticed, as in the figure of the Lost, v. 175, but) is subsequently made plain, it is The Discovered ; as for example: -
In (the brightness of) thy fame the snowy Himalaya (was not visible, and its existence could not be known till it was actually touched (and its coldness felt).'
