This above view of Hemachandra is in the Viveka. This verse is quoted in the Dhv. Al. too to illustrate the Vivakṣitānyaparayācya - the second main type of Dhvani. The Vivaksitanyaparavācya is Samlaksyakrama as well as Asamlaksyakrama. And Sarlakşyakrama includes Vastu and Alamkāra. In this verse, as we know, a lover, covertly expresses his intense desire to his beloved. Thus the primary sense here is not incompatible and so it is Abhidhāmūla. Hemachandra quotes from Abhinavagupta's Locana on this. from 'Nahi....to vyangyam' (Viveka, p. 73). But in conclusion says : here in the three illustrations - three includes Sihipicchi, Sajjai and Sikharini - it is Praudhokti, suggested in the form of an idea, is what is enjoyed. That is how even Svabhava - objective beauty gives charm when mixed with imagination. This beauty of Svabhāva constitutes the charm in the poetic figure called gila or Furt. The poet himself is the creator and speaker of the poem. Hence, what is composed by the poet is of the poet only; the senses and objects of this type (imaginative type) come to be portrayed by the poet; so the Artha should not be described as Svataḥsambhavi or Kavinibaddhavaktspraudhoktimātranişpannaşarira. Kavipraudhokti Explained
These forthright and immensely significant observations of Hemachandra arise from his review of the threefold classification of Arthasakti mūla - by such stalwarts such as Anandavardhana and Mammața and others. Just as he has quoted Sikharini etc. and commented on it in connection with Kavinibaddha etc.; he has also explained the concept of Kavipraudhokti in the Viveka (page 72). He says that the expression Kavipraudhokti means the sense which is embodied in a richly imaginative expression of a poet. To illustrate this he cites Sajjei etc. (Verse 141). Now, Ānandavardhana has cited the same verse in Udyota II. 24 ff to illustrate Kavipraudhoktimātranişpannasarira variety of Arthasaktimāla and Hemachandra has adopted verbatim the Locana commentary
