In Hinduism

Kavyashastra (science of poetry)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Chekanuprasa in Kavyashastra glossary
: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)

Գܱ (छेकानुप्रा�) refers to one of the four varieties of Գܱ: one of the 93 ṃk (“figures of speech�) mentioned by Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭācārya (fl. 17th century) in his Kāvyavilāsa, listed as one of the 4 śṃk (figure of speech determined by sound, as opposed to the sense).

Cirañjīva defines Գܱ assavyañjanasvarāvṛttau Գܱ iṣyate�.—“When vowels associated with consonants are repeated it is Գܱ�. In fact in it vowel connected with consonants which is pronounced first is repeated. Cirañjiva saysyadvalayukto yo� bhihitastadbalayuktasya tasyā� vṛttiriti�. In it the repetition of vowels in a word is essential but the repetition of consonant is not required, because the repetition of all the vowels and consonants of a word will give rise tautology.

Example of the Գܱ-alaṃkāra:�

bhavye gavye vādavānā� rucirmaṇḍe vyajāyata ||

“Seeing the whey prepared from cow-milk, the Brāhmaṇas became attracted (in the sacrifice of Partha)�.

Notes: In this verse, in the words bhavye and gavye, vya has been repeated with same vowel and consonant. So it is an example of Գܱ.

: Shodhganga: Bhismacaritam a critical study

Գܱ (छेकानुप्रा�) refers to a type of Գܱ (“alliteration�) which represents one of the various Alaṅkāras (‘figures of speech�) classified as Śabda (‘sound�), as employed in the Bhīṣmacarita (Bhishma Charitra) which is a 屹ⲹ (‘epic poem�) written by Hari Narayan Dikshit.—In II.26 of the Bhīṣmacaritam our poet has nicely represented the request of King Śāntanu to the teachers for training his son in all arts by the repeated use of words �ta� �sa� �ya� as well as that of �te� (e) in Գܱ. The other examples of Գܱ are I.1, I.7, II.1, II.12, IV.16, IV.40, VI.49, VI.51, VII.55, VIII.3, X.30, XI.14, XII.22, XV.17, XVI.32, XVII.44, XVIII.35, XX.6, XX.42, and XX.51.
