219 "ity anujñā-mukhenaiva kāntasyā”kṣipyate gatiḥ, maraṇam sūcayantyaiva
sónujñā”ksepa ucyate.” Thus, there is some element of suggestion involved in this. So also in "aśīrvacana-āksepa” (II. 242 K.D.), the heroine suggests her own helplessness - "svávasthām sūcayantyā”. At II. 280, ‘vyatireka' is defined as -
"sabdópātte pratīte vā sādrśye vastunor dvayoḥ, tatra yad bheda-kathanam
vyatirekaḥ sa kathyate.” Thus, vyatireka has some touch of an implied similarity. II. 189 mentions vyatireka, having pratīyamāna-sādņśya :
"sabdopādāna-sādņśyavyatirekóyam īdrśaḥ, pratīyamāna-sādrśyópy asti
sónuvidhīyate." Dr. Gupta observes : (pp. 175) : “...atha pratīyamānam a-śabdopāttam gamyam sādịśyam yatra tādịśópi vyatirekaḥ asti...”
At II. 234, Dandin holds utpreksā to be suggested by words such as - 'manye, saņke', dhruvam”, etc. He observes,
“manye śanke, dhruvam prāyo nūnam ity evam ādibhiḥ, utprekṣā vyajyate sabdair
iva-sabdópi tādrśaḥ.” Thus it seems that Dandin considers utpreksā to be implied only. There is a clear mention of the term, 'vyajyate', 'is suggested', and this proves the fact that vyañjanā was not unknown to Dandin.
At II. 303, 'udātta' is explained. Dandin says that in the two illustrations, (i.e. at II. 301 & II. 302) 'āśraya-māhātmya' and 'abhyudaya-gaurava' are respectively,
