For `jala-budbuda' these similes may help:

from "Saantideva's "Sik.saasamuccaya:

... alikodakabudbudaphenasamaa ... [Bendall, p.205 lns.1--2]

phenapi.n.davat prak.rtidurbala.h || udakabudbudavad
 utpannabhagnaviliina.h ' ... [Bendall, p.230 lns. 12-13]

(... phenapi.n.daavad asaaradurbalaa.h || [Bendall, p.237 ln.11])


from Naagaarjuna's Acintyastava:

phenabudbudamaayaabhramariicikadaliisamaa.h || ACINTYA_18 [Lindtner]


Best regards,
