²² Hemacandra (pp. 8f) and Vāgbhaṭa (pp. 12f) plagiarise and reproduce this portion of Rājaśekhara’s treatment and draw also partly from Kṣemendra (see above p. 361f). On these passages, see F. W. Thomas in *Bhandarkar Commemoration Volume*, pp. 379-383). To Ānandavardhana’s classification of three kinds of resemblance which may be found in two poets (see above p. 362 fn 10) these writers add a fourth kind, viz., “foreign-city-entrance” likeness (*parapura-praveśa-pratimatā*), i.e., where there is substantial identity, but the garnishing is widely different. And of these four kinds, the superiority is in the ascending order.
