Abstract


Alankara (figure of speech) are used to beautify the literature. Upama alankara (simile) is one in which two fundamentally unlike things are explicitly compared, usually in a phrase introduced by like or as. Acharya Charaka has used upama alankara many times to express the things by comparing it with the renown things having something in common. The hidden meaning should be understood with the help of these upama. Ayurveda has given very much emphasis to trimarma as existence of life depends on them. Unique upama are used by Acharya Charaka to explain these trimarma in Trimarmeeya siddhi adhyaya. So, to understand the subtle meaning and rationale behind using these specific upama this article is written.
