Jagat Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Sanskrit is so full of trite and repetitive metaphors and similes that new ones are often very striking. Like this one in Samaya-matrika by Kshemendra (1.9) pIvaraM tIra-maNDUkair mArjAram iva zAradam "Her belly was as fat as that of an autumn cat which has eaten its fill of shore-frogs."
