Rūpaka, as, ā, am, appearing in an assumed form (Ved.); illustrating by metaphor, describing by figu- rative language, figurative; (as), m. a particular coin, (probably) a rupee [cf. rūpya]; (ikā), f. swallow- wort, Asclepias Lactifera: (am), n. form, figure, shape, image (often at the end of a comp. in the sense of ‘having the form of,’ ‘composed of,’ ‘con- sisting in’); any manifestation or representation; feature, sign, symptom; kind, species; (in rhetoric) a metaphor, comparison, simile, the description of one object under the form of another which it is poetically supposed to resemble (especially a simile or comparison when iva, vat, &c. are omitted: there are three or four varieties of the figure Rūpaka, e. g. the khaṇḍa-rūpaka or ‘imperfect metaphor,’ the ardha-rūpaka or ‘partial metaphor,’ and the lalāmaka-rūpaka or ‘flowery metaphor;’ and they differ from the Upamā or comparison chiefly in the omission of the particles denoting resemblance, such as iva, yathā, saha, or the Taddhita affix vat; when this last is added the simile is called Taddhito- pamā); a drama, play, theatrical performance, (one of the two classes of dramatic composition divided into ten species including the Nāṭaka or principal play and the Prahasana or farce; see also pra-ka- raṇa, bhāṇa, &c.; cf. upa-rūpaka); a particular weight (= 3 Guñjās); = mūrta (mūrti?); = dhūrta.
