Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

Source: Wisdom Library: Nṭya-śstra

1) ū貹첹 (रूपक, “metaphor�) refers to one of the four “figures of speech� (ṃk), used when composing dramatic compositions (屹ⲹ), according to Nṭyaśstra chapter 17. (Description): “An image of slight likeness which is conceived due to indecision from objects characterised by similar limbs, is called Metaphor (ū貹첹)�.

2) ū貹첹 (रूपक, “representation�).—The terms like ū貹첹 or ū貹 (representation) and ṣ� (spectacle), all denoting dramatic works, also characterise the Hindu dramas and show their difference from the drama of the Greeks who laid emphasis on action and not on the spectacle.

ū貹첹 (रूपक, “form�).—When there is scope for developing the melodic form () and other elements (岵DZ貹), the composed music is called a ū貹첹 (lit. “form�).. One should known that prabandha, vastu and ū貹첹 are the three names of composed music (nibaddha) based on regular words (pada) and the other phrasal elements (ṅg). (cf. Saṅgītaśiromaṇi 13.6)

ū貹첹 (रूपक, “metaphor�) refers to a type of Alaṃkra (figure of speech).—ū貹� or metaphor consists in the representation of the subject of description, which (subject) is not concealed, as identified with another (a well-known standard). Thus, herein this figure, there is no difference between the upameya i.e. the object of comparison and the ܱ貹Բ, the standard of comparison, on account of the superimposition of the later on the former. Maṅkhaka applies ū貹첹, abundantly in his poem (Śrīkaṇṭhacarita).

: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)

ū貹첹 (रूपक) refers to one of the two types of the Dṛśya屹ⲹs division of Kvya (“poetry�), according to the վṣṇܻ󲹰dzٳٲܰṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—There are two broad divisions of 屹ⲹ (poetry) viz., dṛśya屹ⲹ and śravya屹ⲹ. Drama belongs to dṛśya屹ⲹ variety, which is mainly divided into two groups, viz., ū貹첹 and upaū貹첹.

The վṣṇܻ󲹰dzٳٲܰṇa accepts twelve types of ū貹첹 viz.,

  1. ṭa첹,
  2. ṭi,
  3. 첹ṇa,

Kavyashastra (science of poetry)

: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)

ū貹첹 (रूपक, “metaphor�) refers to one of the 93 ṃks (“figures of speech�) mentioned by Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭcrya (fl. 17th century) in his Kvyavilsa and is listed as one of the 89 ٳṃk (figure of speech determined by the sense, as opposed to sound). ū貹첹 or metaphor has been admitted as an ṃk from the very ancient times. Bharata in his Nṭyaśstra has mentioned the four basic ṃks. One of them is ū貹첹. Most of the Ālaṃkrikas are of opinion that when there is an super imposition of the ܱ貹Բ (the object compared to) over the upameya (the object compared) we get the figure ū貹첹. Ālaṃkrikaslike Daṇḍin etc. have admitted ū貹첹 in the case of identity (abheda) between the upameya and ܱ貹Բ.

Cirañjīva has defined ū貹첹 in the line of Daṇḍin and Mammaṭa. He says—“ū貹첹ṃ sydaikyabodhe ܱ貹nopameyayoḥ�.—“When the identity of ܱ貹Բ and upameya is cognized, it is the figure ū貹첹�. So the condition of identity of upameya and ܱ貹Բ prevails in ū貹첹.

Example of the ū貹첹-ṃk:�

ǻⲹ屹Բbahaladagdhriṛṇta� samudgacchaddhūmñjanitaԲṅgṇaܱ |
sphuliṅgbhstr� parita iti sambhṣaṇaparstav’rīṇṃ dr ṛdⲹṛp岵ṛhgat� ||

“The wives of your enemies who are in conversation and shining as star-like sparks in the base of the field in the form of the sky, which is stained by smoke rising out of the grass in the form of enemies burnt by enkindled huge forest fire in the form of prowess have gone to the royal prison in the form of heart�.

Notes: In this verse the word ǻⲹ屹Բ has been explained as prtpa eva ܻⲹ屹Բ. Here the compound is ū貹첹 karmadhraya. By the rule ū貹첹mabhede here prowess is upameya and ܻⲹ屹Բ (enkindled forest fire) is ܱ貹Բ. Their identity (abheda) has been expressed. So it is an example of ū貹첹. Similarly the word ṛṇ may be explained as araya� eva tṛṇni. Here also the compound is ū貹첹 karmadhraya. The word ari is upameya and the word ṛṇ is ܱ貹Բ. There identity (abheda) has been established. So it is a case of the figure ū貹첹. Similar ū貹첹s are there in Բṅgṇaܱ and ṛdⲹṛp岵ṛh.

: Shodhganga: Bhismacaritam a critical study

ū貹첹 (रूपक, “metaphor�) refers to one of the various Alaṅkras (‘figures of speech�) classified as Artha (‘sense�), as employed in the īṣmٲ (Bhishma Charitra) which is a mah屹ⲹ (‘epic poem�) written by Hari Narayan Dikshit.—Like �ܱ貹� our poet has also used �ū貹첹�, frequently in īṣmٲ. For illustration we may refer to II.49. Here our poet metaphorically represents Devavrata as the rising Sun in the hearts of people as well as like the Moon of the night removing the worries of people. For another example of �ū貹첹�, V.52 of the īṣmٲ is cited. Here in this verse very intelligently our poet has used the phrase �ԾᲹ-ᲹԲ첹-徱岹ṣ�-śṛṅ󲹱-󲹳��. Another apt use of �ū貹첹� is found in XVII.44 in which the society is represented as the chariot in which men and women are the two wheels of the chariot without which a chariot cannot run. The other examples of �ū貹첹� are II.17, II.28, II.29, V.35, VI.2, VI.4, VI.27, VII.18, XII.3, XII.57, XIII.8, XV.26, XV.49, XVII.2, XVII.6, XVIII.20, XVIII.31, XIX.20, XIX.36, etc.
