shown that Hemachandra's six additional conditions (Svarādi) like Abhinaya, Apadeśa, etc. with illustrations are reproduced from the śr. Pr. of Bhoja (Also see 'Studies in Sanskrit Sāhityaśāstra' by Dr. V. M. Kulkarni, p. 149).
Thus one or more of these clues definitely restrict the direct meaning (Vācyārtha) of a verse. But even after the expressed sense is grasped by the reader, a deep subtle sense remains hidden behind that direct sense. This is called the Suggested Sense - Kāvyātmā - which is apprehended through the function of Vyanjanā alone and this function is positively different from the expressed sense (Abhidhā) and the indicated sense (Lakşaņā). Hemachandra establishes this point by following in the foot-steps of Ānandavardhana and Mammața. which becomes clear in his discussion of Lakşaņāmālā ŚabdaŚaktimālā Vyañjanā. The Motive Factor in Lakșanā is Always Suggested
Hemachandra begins by saying that even in a word whose Mukhyartha is restrained by the incompatibility of the primary sense, the apprehension of the Prayojana (e.g. Saityapāvanatva in 'Gangāyāṁ ghoşah') is through the power of Vyañjanā alone. For there is no Sanketa or convention with reference to the Prayojana viz., Saityapāvanatva-pratiti, so there is no Abhidhā process involved in it, nor Gauņi, nor Lakşaņā, since the three pre-requisites of the latter do not obtain therein. This is so, because the Gangātata which is the Laksya, is not the primary sense of the word nor is it Bādhita or inappropriate as the location of a hamlet, nor is there any connection between the Mukhyārtha (Gangataţa) and Laksyartha (śaityādi), nor, to be sure, is the word Gangātaţa faltering in yielding its own sense, nor is there a further Prayojana for the existing Saityapāvanatvādi Prayojana.
Now, granting for the sake of argument that the Prayojana is indicated, but then it will need another Prayojana, and this other Prayojana will require a further Prayojana and it will go
