岹پśǰپ (भेदकातिशयोक्ति) refers to one of the varieties of پśǰپ: one of the 93 ṃk (“figures of speech�) mentioned by Jayadeva and Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭācārya (fl. 17th century) in his Kāvyavilāsa.—پśǰپ� is one of the important figures of speech admitted by almost all the famous Ālaṃkārikas (e.g., Bhāmaha, Rudraṭa, Daṇḍin, Kuntaka, Mammaṭa). Jayadeva has not given any general definition of پśǰپ, but he has defined and illustrated each of the six varieties of پśǰپ (viz. 岹پśǰپ).

Cirañjīva defines 岹پśǰپ —�岹پśǰپ� syāt svabhedaścetsvajātiṣu�.—“When difference of one object is shown from other objects, both belonging to the same genus, it is the figure 岹پśǰپ�. In fact though there is no difference among the objects under the same genus, yet the poet describes the difference to bring some special charm. In the Candrāloka of Jayadeva, it has been said that when the same thing is described to be another thing it is 岹پśǰپ�. In the Kuvalayānanda of Appayyadīkṣita we find almost the same definition.

Example of the 岹پśǰپ-alaṃkāra:

dhanyeyamanyaiva vilāsinīnā� līlāvilāsaprabhavāya rīti� |
asārasaṃsāravicāriṇo’pi yathā kila vyākulatā� bhajanti ||

“The way of exerting influence of dalliance of women engaged in amorous sport is indeed different and admirable. Even the persons who consider this world as unsubstantial become extremely anxious�.

Notes: Among the ways of exerting influence, the way of women with amorous sport is considered as different. Though the way is common yet it is taken as different. So it is an example of 󲹻岹پśǰپ.
