(P. 299. A. 5. S. 2.
The words are, grammatically or phonetically, slightly different, they can give rise to 99%. Thus in the verse 445 अवलं is rhymed with अबलं-~~व with a may form यमक.
Similarly in the same verse 27 rhymes 34. In short if people can find a marked similarity between two letters (लोकप्रतीतितुल्यत्वपरिग्राहार्थम् ) they may give rise to 94%. The name 991 is given to this figure because two letters that rhyme appear just like twin brothers (cat).
The words a means that the letters rhyming must have some sense in their own place.
For instance, in the line मधुप-राजि-पराजितमानिनी both the groups qtist and quiet are, as they stand, without any meaning; but in their own place they yield a good sense; therefore they may form 3.
Again in the line स्फुटपराग-परागत-पङ्कजम् the second group 97777 is meaningless as it stands, but in its own place it becomes qtisa and yields a sense and as such has a legitimate place in यमक.
But if two words carrying exactly the same sense come together, they do not form 4, as the Sutra explicitly says that the word ought to be wg i. e. the meaning of the words rhymed ought not to be exactly the same.
Thus the line उदेति सविता ताम्रस्ताम्रएवास्तमेतिच is not an instance of 449.
Again in the verse 446, the first word ag is phonetically not similar to the second on, but this minute difference is negligible and the two words do form 48
Similarly, in the same verse a though different from u may rhyme and a with # also is admişsibe in a समक as in the line वेगं-हे. तुरगाणां जयनसावेति etc.
