45 all Gramya except vapuh' which is upanagara; the answers given by the citizen contain Gramya (like hasta, vivaha and Gauri). Nagara (like Bhuta-pati) and Upana gara words (the rest).

(23) Bhinna-linga ( P. 23, 1. 21) : Bhoja defines it thus : yatropama bhinna-linga bhinna-lingam tad ucyate' | When in a simile (upama) the gender of the upamana and the upameya is not the same this dosa arises. The ill. is : (P. 23, 1. 21) vapiva vimalam vyoma hansiva dhavalah sasi / Sasilekheva hanso 'yam hansalir iva te yasah // Under certain circumstances the difference in gender is not a dosa in an upama.5 The ill. is (P. 23, 1, 21 ): yasya trivar ga-sunyani dinany ayanti yanti ca sa lohakara-bhastreva svasann api na jivali // According to Bhoja there is no dosa here as the upamana has no other synonym.

Sometimes Bhinna-vacana also is faultless. The ill. (P, 23, 1.25 ) is : prajya-prabhavah prabhavo dharmasyasta-rajastamah / muktalma nah sivam Nemir anye 'pi dadatam jinah 117. Here there is difference in the number; ' anye' is plural while Nemih' is singular yet this difference in number in the upamana and upameya is converted into a guna by virtue of the punning verb (dadatam). This verse is an ill. of Upama in the same way as : 1. The comments on this verse are borrowed by Kalpalata from Bhoja, (vide S. K. I. v. 159, and comments on this. ) 2. S. K. I. 25 ab, 3.

Difference in the gender or the number of the upamana and the upameya is not a dosa. J o faigai fanii 7 Jai 39a2qui ne yaani a Hal Il cf' K. D, I. 51. 6. S. K. I. v. 162 7. (ibid) I. v. 163. 8.
