padivatthüc să uvamā ja hoi samāņa-vatthurūa a / Siva'-'miva'-'piva'i-rahia visarisa-guna-paaeahimto // 14
That Upamā is Prativastu which lacks particles (of comparison) like iva, miva, piva and which conveys similarity between two things, inspite of disssimilar qualities.
padivatthūvamā jaha :
sampatta-tivagga-suha thovā puhavia homti ņāra-naha / mahura-phala (?) (-kusumā) siņiddha-patta-tarū virala // 15 The illustration of Prativastūpamā :
There are few kings on this earth who have achieved (all the) three types of happiness : Rare are such trees that have sweet fruits, fragrant flowers and tenderly smooth leaves.
gunu kalix sa bhannai ginehi dohim pi sarisaa jattha / uvamco kira jie uvamāņam hoi sä sama // 16
That Upama is called Guņa-kalita in which resemblance pertains to two qualities.
That Upamäis Asama in which the Object of Comparison becomes the Standard of Comparison.
guņa-kalia jahā : campaa--laal vva nava-kusuma-sumdarā sahai vimjha-kadae2 va vaccha--tthalammi lacchi tamala-nile mahumahassa // 17 The Illustration of Guņa-kalito pamā :
On the broad chaste of Visņu that is, like the slope of Vindhya, as dark as (or due to) Tamala tree(s), Lakşmi like the Campaka creeper, as beautiful as alternately beautiful due to) fresh flowers, appears charming.
asama jaha : jonha-nimmala-laaņņa-pasara-cimcaia-1 saala-bhuaņāi/ tuha tujjha vya kisoari samāņa-råa-jae natthi // 18
The illustration of Asam opamā :
O damsel of slender belly, your graceful beauty, like the clear moonlight, adorns the whole world. So nobody is there like you in this world who can compare with you in bcauty.
