³² Vāmana had already taken *aupamya* as the basis of his classification, for he would regard all figures as *upamā-prapañca*, implying that all figurative expression forms nothing more than aspects of metaphorical expression. Rudraṭa, however, thinks that all figures do not imply comparison ; and in this he is in agreement with all writers excepting Vāmana who is unique in his extreme view.
