(2) [Example of the Elliptical Simile omitting the common property, implied.] ‘ Ākṛṣṭakarabālosau saṁparāye paribhraman Pratyarthisenayā dṛṣṭaḥ kṛtāntena samaḥ prabhuḥ’ ‘ Roaming in battle with the drawn sword, he was looked upon by the enemies, as equal to the Death-god.’ [Here the common property, cruelty, has been omitted; and as it is the sameness of action that is meant, the Similitude is ‘implied.’] (3)-(4)-(5) [Example of the Elliptical Simile, omitting the common property, (a) directly expressed, in a com- pound, (b) implied, in a compound and (c) implied, in a nominal affix.] ‘ Karavāla ivāchārastasya vāgamṛtopamā Viṣakalpaṁ mano vetsi yadi jīvasi tat sakhe’ ‘ You will live if you know that (a) his behaviour is like that of the sword, (b) his speech is almost like nectar, and (c) his mind is like poison.’
