SAHRDAYĀLOKA Nāgeśa holds that in certain cases, after 'mukhyārtha' or principal sense is collected, or, after ‘mukhyārtha-bādha' or when the mukhyārtha is negated, as the case may be, a further sense is to be seen. This artha is either 'prasiddha' i.e. known or 'a-prasiddha' i.e. unknown, and is either related to the mukhyārtha or is unrelated to it. This sort of meaning is flashed upon the mind through what is termed as vyañjanā-sakti. -Nāgeśa notes :- “mukhyārtha-sambaddha-asambaddha sādhāraṇa-mukhyārthabādha-grahādi-prayojya-prasiddha-apra siddhā'rtha-visayaka-dhi-janakatvam vyañjanā.”
Thus, Nāgeśa holds vyañjanā to be abhidhāmūlā and laksanā-mūlā. This vyañjanā rests on śabda, artha, pada, padaikadeśa, varna, recanā and cestādi. When a woman casts a glance of her eye, with reference to somebody, her desire is thereby suggested (i.e. by cestā).
This apprehension is supported by experience-i.e. it is "anubhava-siddha." So, even in ‘cestā,' vyañjanā can be seen.-* Nāgeśa observes : "anayā katāksena abhilaso vyañjitaḥ, iti sarva-jana-siddheḥ, tasyām cestā-vșttitvasya api āvaśyakatvāc ca."
Vyañjakatva lies both in padas and arthādi. That vyañjanā wherein arthàdi are suggested, rests on, "vakr-boddhavya-ādi-vaiśistya-jñāna,” or the knowledge of the speciality of a speaker, listener, etc. The pratibhā or the genius of the hearer acts as an accessory i.e. 'sahakāri' kārana.-Nāgeśa observes : "anayā cā'rthabodhe jananīye vaktr-boddhavya-vācya-vaiśistya-jñānam, pratibhā ca sahakāri tad-dhijanaka-jñāna-janakam eva vā.”—
In the absence of pratibhā or the genius of the hearer, there is absence of the apprehension of the suggested sense. By pratibhā is meant the "nava-navonmesaśālini buddhih." This nava-navonmesa is due to impressions carried from the past birth i.e. pūrva-janma-samskāras. So, for Nāgeśa pratibhā is that factor which accompanied by prakarana-jñāna in form of the speciality of the speaker etc., makes for the apprehension of suggested sense. * "vaktr-ādi vaisistya-sahakārena tajjanikā buddhiḥ pratibhā iti phalitam."
This vyañjanā is held to be connected even with the previous life. Nāgesa observes: "evam ca saktir etajjanma-grhītaivārtha-bodhikā, vyañjanā tu janmāntara-gphītā api, iti api sakteḥ asyāḥ bhedakam.
In the case of gatośtam arkah, when we desire different meanings, the mukhyārtha i.e. primary meaning viz. that, the sun has set is never contradicted -
