upamaa alankaara - part XVI (types of लुप्तोपमाना alankaara)

लुप्तोपमाना द्विविघा वाक्यगा च समासगा|


1.लुप्तोपमाना वाक्यगा

विचिते निखिलेsपि जगत्युचितं श्रीवेङ्कटाद्रिणा सदृशम् |
नूनं नोपलभेत स्थानं जातोsथ जायमानो वा ||

Here it is said that a place equivalent to श्रीवेङ्कटाद्रि is impossible to be found by anybody who has been born or who is going to be born. This sentence itself denies any possibility of an उपमान being appended. Therefore it is लुप्तोपमाना वाक्यगा.

2. लुप्तोपमाना समासगा

नास्तीह वस्तु धन्यं कस्तूरीसदृशमिति वयं विद्म: |
भुजगगिरीशस्य मुखं त्रिजगत्तिलकस्य तिलकितं ह्यनया ||

Here it is लुप्तोपमाना because any possibility of equivalence has been negated explicitly and समासगा because of कस्तूरीसदृशम्.
