Ullikhita (उल्लिखित) or Ullekha refers to one of the 93 alaṃkāras (“figures of speech”) mentioned by Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭācārya (fl. 17th century) in his Kāvyavilāsa and is listed as one of the 89 arthālaṃkāras (figure of speech determined by the sense, as opposed to sound).—The figure ullekha has been admitted by Ālaṃkārikas like Ruyyaka, Viśvanāthaetc. Ruyyaka has first introduced it as a distinct figure. Vidyādhara in his Ekāvali (VIII/10), Vidyānātha in his Pratāparudrayaśabhūṣaṇa, Viśvanātha in his Sāhityadarpaṇa (X/37), Jayadeva in his Candrāloka (V/23) and Appayyadīkṣita in his Kuvalayānanda (VII/22) have admitted this figure.

According to Cirañjīva the comprehension of the same object as different by different person is called the figure ullikhita. According to his predecessors the name of the figure is ullekha, but in Cirañjīva’s work the name has been sighted as ullikhita. The difference is only in name, but not in content.

Example of the ullikhita-alaṃkāra:—

sudhāṃśuḥ svapakṣairvipakṣaistu kālo vicintyo’si cintāmaṇiryācamānaiḥ |
smaro māninībhiḥ priyaḥ kāminībhirdhanurvedamūrtirdhanurvedavidbhiḥ ||

“You are considered as moon by your followers, as the god of death by your opponents, as a mythological wishing gem by solicitous persons, as the cupid by the ladies who often sulks on account of amorous quarrel, as the dear one by women and as the science of archery incarnate by the experts in archery”.

Notes: This verse is in the praise of a king. Here the same king is mentioned by his followers, opponents, solicitous persons, ladies, experts in archery differently. So this is an example of the figure ullikhita.
