The suffix matup is applied to the collection [of words], as in 'preyorasavat' (i.e., preyasvat and rasavat). / As for 'the paronomastic': / the meaning is that the paronomastic is twofold, just like the exalted. / And here, the twofold nature of the paronomastic is stated in order to refute divergent opinions. / For Bhāmaha stated that the paronomastic is threefold: 'as that is threefold through mention of joint assertion (sahokti), simile, and cause.' / Therefore, 'likewise' was said to refute this divergent opinion. / But as for 'in two varieties' regarding the exalted, this is a restatement meant as an illustration. / The meaning is: just as the twofold nature of the exalted is accepted because it is established by valid proof, so too it must be accepted for the paronomastic.
