yamaka has come to mean "rhyme" in Marathi. Given the
examples, I suspect it means "rhyme" in saMskR^ita as
well. Note that in the European tradition "rich rhyme"
is the rhyming of multiple syllables, and internal
rhymes (not at the end of the line of verse) are also
used in poetry from saMskR^ita and other languages.
Marathi verses, and also Urdu poetry sometimes have
multisyllable rhymes.
As a test of the yamaka = rhyme idea, I suggest the
following:
Can anyone provide the example of a word rearrangement
that appears more than once within a sentence, but
does not include word-ends (as a rhyme surely would?)
i.e.,
note from the example:
sa ca reme kaamanayaa biibhatsustatra
raatrimekaamanayaa |
Would you not say that the pair:
reme kaamanayaa
raatrimekaamanayaa
are multi-syllable internal rhymes?
The other test of course is to look up mammaTa's work
on the appreciation of poetry, if you have a copy, and
get the exact definition. That would hardly be fun.

Kavyaprakasa 9:83:
The repetition of letters in the same order, with a different meaning-
when there is meaning- constitutes yamaka, 'chime'.
84:
When words that are different by reason of the difference in their
denotations coalesce [become identified] through the sameness of their
pronunciation, it is a case of coalescence [or _pun_].
[Jha translation]
