idea is that the spot in the moon is Kāmadeva who was rendered dark by staying in the burning hearts of ladies suffering from the pangs of separation from their lovers. Kāmadeva is lying in the moon to make its burning limbs cool. By saying that this is not the spot in the moon but it is Kamadeva etc., the figure Apahnuti is suggested. This is so because Nişedha is not Vācya here. So Apahnuti is Vyangya.5 7 This verse also contains Sandehadhvani, for, the spot in the orb of the moon is not named but hinted at in Gaurāngistanābhogasthāniye candramasi etc., suggesting Sasamdeha.
