¹ e. g. the figure *ākṣepa*, of which the two sub-divisions *ukta-viṣaya* and *vakṣyamāṇa-viṣaya* are found in both Bhāmaha and Bhaṭṭi, they being unaware of the different interpretation of Vāmana and the somewhat fine differentiations of Daṇḍin. The same remark applies to *dīpaka* and its three sub-species, which do not agree with the exposition of Bharata, Daṇḍin or Vāmana. Cf also the three sub-species of *śleṣa*, viz. *sahōkti-śl°*, *upamā-śl°*, and *hetu-śl°*, illustrated by Bhaṭṭi and mentioned by Bhāmaha in iii 17, although later writers, like Daṇḍin and Udbhaṭa, speak of *śleṣa* as coming with many other figures. Pratihārendurāja distinctly alludes to this division admitted by Bhāmaha: *bhāmaho hi "tat sahōktyupamā-hetu-nirdeśāt trividham yathā" iti śliṣṭasya traividhyam āha* (p. 47).
