with reference to that word." This reminds us of Mammata's definition of a Vācaka sabda (K. P. 11. 7 - Vrtti). And Sanketa is of one type only because it cannot be placed on a word to yield a special meaning for fear of the fault of endlessness and infringement of the rule; just as it cannot be made with reference to a sentence to yield the sentence - meaning.

Mammața defines and explains the Tātparyavrtti and Hemachandra depends mainly on him and the Dhvanikāra as well as Abhinavagupta. We can pinpoint words, quotations, examples and ideas in both the body of the text of the
