The author now describes the Ideal Figures of Speech— I. Upamā—Simile. I. When there is similarity of properties, while there is difference (between the objects themselves), it is Simile. What the text is referring to is the similarity of the properties belonging to the two objects of comparison (the object compared and the object compared to),—and not those belonging to the cause and the effect, and such other correlatives ; so that it is a case of Simile when the said objects of comparison are related to some common property. 'While there is difference';—this has been added with a view to distinguish the Figure, Ananvaya, 'Comparison Absolute'. [Simile is of two kinds]—(a) Complete and (b) Elliptical.
