Furthermore, in the word "expressed", is expressedness meant as a predicate, or as a subject? On the first alternative,
this definition would apply only in examples such as:
"He, drawing a great army marching toward the eastern sea, / shone like Bhagīratha with the Gaṅgā fallen from Hara's matted locks."
It would not apply in examples such as:
"Equal to Indra, he first advanced toward the east, / as if threatening his enemies with banners tossed by the wind."
On the second alternative, in a *vyatireka* [figure of contrast] where resemblance is referred to as subject in order to be negated, as in "Your moon is not equal to her spotless face," this definition would apply there as well. Nor should it be qualified as "expressed without being the counter-correlate of a negation."
