This paper takes into account the definition of the complex metaphor (ai. rūpaka) on the basis of Bhāmaha's definition (Kāvyālạ̜kāra 2.21). It involves the verbal form rūpyate, which is not so common in Sanskrit texts, while it is clearly focused on by the Buddhist tradition, in particular by Vasubandhu. A fresh proposal of interpretation of this rhetorical definition is thus advanced.

Abstract
This paper takes into account the definition of the complex metaphor (ai. rūpaka) on the basis of Bhāmaha's definition (Kāvyālạ̜kāra 2.21). It involves the verbal form rūpyate, which is not so common in Sanskrit texts, while it is clearly focused on by the Buddhist tradition, in particular by Vasubandhu. A fresh proposal of interpretation of this rhetorical definition is thus advanced.
