Notes. 179 of the श्लिष्� [śṣṭ ] adjectives is to be the अप्रकृ�. [ṛt. ] If the अप्रकृ� [ṛt ] or अप्रस्तु�
[aprastuta

thing is expressed and the а is conveyed by implication
the alañikāra would be अप्रस्तुतप्रशंसा.

P. 42, LL. 12-13. - अतिशयोक्ति� � निमित्तत� यत्त� ... | ( [پśǰپ� | nimittato yattu ... | (]
34 ) - " A statement, with a cause, surpassing the common
perception of people-the learned consider it to be the
԰ अतिशयोक्ति. [پśǰپ.] "
P. 42, LL. 14-17.-(s 35, 36) The four divisions
of अतिशयोक्ति [پśǰپ ] of Udbhata are :
(1) भेदेऽनन्यत्वम् � [bhede'nanyatvam | ] Imposing sameness where there is
difference in reality.
(2) अन्यत्� (अभेद�) नानात्वम� � [anyatra (abhede) nānātvam | ] Imagining difference where
there is really no difference.
(3) संभाव्यमानार्थनिबन्ध� � [saṃbhāvyamānārthanibandha� | ] Describing some imaginary
thing [which is really impossible].
संभाव्यमान [ṃb屹ⲹԲ ] = imaginary.
(4) कार्यकारणयोर्यत्� पौर्वापर्यविपर्ययात् � आशुभाव� समालम्ब्�
बध्यते || [kāryakāraṇayoryatra paurvāparyaviparyayāt | āśubhāva� samālambya

The reversion of cause and

effect to show the quickness of effect.
explains the s very succinctly as
किञ्चिद्धेतुमवलम्ब्य यदलौकिकं वच� निबध्यते सातिशयोक्तिः � तस्याश्चत्वारो भेदा� �
तथ� हि � भेदे अभेद�, अभेद� भेदः, बहिरसत� सम्भावनाया� निबद्ध�, कार्यस्य शीघ्�-
कालताप्रतिपादनाय पूर्वभावित्व� कारणादित� �
[kiñciddhetumavalambya yadalaukika� vaco nibadhyate sātiśayokti� | tasyāścatvāro bhedā� |
tathā hi | bhede abheda�, abhede bheda�, bahirasata� sambhāvanāyā� nibaddha�, kāryasya śīghra-
kālatāpratipādanāya pūrvabhāvitva� kāraṇāditi |
]
Of these the first two varieties
Mammata's अतिशयोक्ति [پśǰپ] ;
because in both the varieties one thing (a) is described
as another thing. The first variety of Mammaṭa viz.
निगीर्याध्यवसा� ( [nigīryādhyavasāna (] complete submerging of the उपेम� [upemaya ] by the उपमा�)
[ܱ貹Բ)
]
does not find place in Ubdhata's classification. The third
and fourth divisions of Udbhata correspond to the same
divisions of Mammata. The second variety of Mammaṭa
is प्रस्तुतस्� यदन्यत्व� [prastutasya yadanyatva� ] and it is equal to the first two varieties of
Udbhata. यद्यर्थोक्तो � कल्पनम� [yadyarthokto va kalpanam ] of Mammata is Udbhata's सभाव्य-
मानार्� निबन्ध. [屹ⲹ-
mānārtha nibandha.

The full description of अतिशयोक्ति [پśǰپ ] given by Mam-
mata in his s is : - (�) निगीर्याध्यवसानं तु प्रकृतस्� परेण यत� �
(�) प्रस्तुतस्� यदन्यत्व� (�) यद्यर्थोक्तौ � कल्पनम� � (�) कार्यकारणयोर्यश्� पौर्वापर्य-
विपयर्यः � विज्ञेयातिशयोक्तिः सा � - काव्यप्रका� [1) nigīryādhyavasāna� tu prakṛtasya pareṇa yat |
(2) prastutasya yadanyatva� (3) yadyarthoktau ca kalpanam | (4) kāryakāraṇayoryaśca paurvāparya-
vipayarya� | vijñeyātiśayokti� sā | - kāvyaprakāśa
