In Hinduism

Kavyashastra (science of poetry)

Source: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)

Unmīlita (उन्मीलित) 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 of speech unmīlita is not common. It has not been admitted by Ālaṃkārikas like Ruyyaka, Mammaṭa, and Viśvanātha. Jayadeva has given a treatment of it.

Cirañjīva has also dealt with unmīlita. When one thing is disgraced by another due to excessive similarity between the two and when this disgrace thing comes to our vision due to some cause it is known as the figure of speech unmīlita.

Example of the unmīlita-alaṃkāra:—

itaḥ sarojeṣu siteṣu saṃsthito na lakṣyate haṃsagaṇaḥ samantataḥ |
kadācidāyāti vibhedamapyasau patadvirephapracalatpatatrakaiḥ ||

“From here the flock of swans existing all around the white lotuses is not seen. Sometimes it is distinguished by the lotuses with swaring bees with fluttering wings”.

Notes: In this example the white swans are not seen first due to their staying around the lotuses which are extremely white. The swans again get distinction when the black bees with their fluttering of wings seat upon the lotuses. On account of the revealation of the swans by the cause or the distinguishing mark i.e., the black bees, the figure is unmīlita.

Unmīlita (उन्मीलित) refers to “opened (eyes)” (in meditation), according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 11.1-24ab, while describing the appearance and worship of Tumburu]—“[...] Gāyatrī is a beautiful red color, adorned with one face, sitting in the bound lotus seat, the eye opened in meditation (dhyānonmīlita-locanā). Sāvitrī is the color white, eyes gone to inward meditation. The devī Māyā is dark and four armed [One of her] pair [of arms] hold a great cloth that conceals the world”.
