“tātparyam eva vacasi, dhvanir eva kāvye saubhagyam eva guna-sampadi vallabhasya. lāvanyam eva vapuși svadate’nganāyāḥ śrngāra eva hrdi mānavato janasya."
and,
yad-abhiprāya-sarvasvam vaktur vākyāt pratīyate tātparyam, artha-dharmas tat, śabda-dharmaḥ punar dhvanih. saubhāgyam iva tātparyam āntaro guņa ișyate vāgdevatāyā lāvanyam iva, bāhyas tayor dhvaniḥ, adūra-viprakarsāt tu dvayena dvayam ucyate,

That is, Tātparya is artha-dharma; Dhvani on the other hand is sabda-dharma. What does Bhoja mean by this? Does he mean that, looked at from the point of view of the sabda it is Dhvani and, from that of artha, Tātparya ? Or that Dhvani is the name of the vyañjaka-sabda and that Tātparya is the name of vyangya-Artha ? That Dhvani is the vyañjanā sabda-vyāpāra and
