upamaa alankaara - part XX (type of वाचकोपमेयलुप्ता)

क्वचिल्लुप्ता वाचकोपमेयाभ्यामपि संमता|

e.g.
श्रीवासीयति सर्वोप्यावासं प्राप्य तस्य वृषशैले|
अतसीसुमसमतद्रुचिकृतसीमातीतकालिमा कामम्||

श्रीवासीयति - आत्मानं श्रीनिवासमिव आचरति.
Here self is acting like Shrinivas. Therefore there is no उपमेय and there is no वाचक. Thus, this becomes the example of वाचकोपमेयलुप्ता.

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.

upamaa alankaara - part XIV (example of different kinds of luptopamaa)

त्वं निधिरिव तव सदृशो नैव विभुर्जलदनीलजलजाक्ष |
तव सौशील्यमतुल्यं मित्रीयसि नतजनेsब्धिगाम्भीर्य: ||

This verse shows seven types of luptopamaa in a single couplet. Let's see how it works

1.धर्मलुप्ता (त्वं निधिरिव - here there is no mention of धर्म like भोग्यत्व )
2.उपमानलुप्ता ( तव सदृशो नैव विभु: - is shows that there is nobody with whom you can be compared. therefore there is no उपमान)
3.वाचकलुप्ता (जलदनील - here there is no mention of any वाचक like इव)
4.धर्मवाचकलुप्ता (जलजाक्ष - जलजे इव अक्षिणी यस्य. there is no mention of any वाचक like इव or any धर्म like प्रसन्नता)
5.धर्मोपमानलुप्ता (तव सौशील्यमतुल्यं. there is no mention of धर्म like लोकोत्तरत्व and because it is अतुल्यं, उपमान is also ruled out)
6.उपमेयवाचकलुप्ता (मित्रीयसि - मित्रमिवात्मानमाचरसि. there is no mention of any उपमेय because it is the self only and there is no mention of any वाचक)
7.धर्मवाचकोपमानलुप्ता (अब्धिगाम्भीर्य: - अब्धेर्गाम्भीर्यमिव गाम्भीर्यम्. there is no धर्म, वाचक or उपमान)

the eighth type is not covered in this verse.
