Part 5t - Ala峁僰膩ra (20): 笔补谤颈峁嚹乵补 or commutation
When what is superimposed serves the purpose in hand as being identified with the subject of superimposition, it is 笔补谤颈峁嚹乵补 or commutation, which is two-fold as being appositional or nonappositional.[1] In the verse, 蝉补谤惫腻峁単补蝉补峁僾腻丑补苍补办峁泃测补产丑峁泃测补岣�[2] 鈥︹赌�., it has been stated that the lotus, the servant gets the wage of similarity with the face of a woman from 叠谤补丑尘腻. The lotus is said to be the source as well as the place for sitting of 叠谤补丑尘腻. As a servant gets salary from his master, the lotus also gets his wage of similar countenance as a boon from his master. Herein, there is the superimposition and identification of the 耻辫补尘腻苍补 with the upameya and the verse under discussion stands as an illustration of 笔补谤颈峁嚹乵补. There is another instance of 笔补谤颈峁嚹乵补, found in the 艢谤墨办补峁囜弓丑补肠补谤颈迟补- labdhv膩 vidho k膩ntabhujopadh膩na峁�[3] 鈥︹赌�.
