'Dhvani' and other thought-currents such as guņa,.....

(Trans. K. Kris. pp. 29, 31, ibid). Dhvani which is explained and defined at Dhv. I. 13, etc. does not bear identity with logical implication or indication because of difference in nature between the two. Suggestion i.e. dhvani is the "unidirectional communication" (K. Kris. pp. 29, ibid) of a sense else than the expressed, both by the expressed sense or the expression itself (=vācya-vācaka), while at the same time the implicit sense will be exclusively, important (i.e. tātparyeņa prakāśanam). 'Bhakti' or indication is merely a metaphorical expression (upacāramātra). Again 'dhvani' or suggestion does not have 'bhakti' as its invariable mark (chihna) i.e. it is not determined by 'bhakti.' For, if it is so held the fallacies of "too wide" and also "too narrowo will follow as the case may be, argues Anandavardhana (vrtti, Dhv. I. 14). There is possibility of 'bhakti' or metaphorical expression in places where there is absence of dhvani. This is ati-vyāpti. Again with the presence of dhvani at times we have no semblance of bhakti as in case of abhidhā-mula-dhvani, which brings in the avyāpti-dosa. Again, observes Ānandavardhana : (Dhv. I. 17, 18, 19) (pp. 32, 34, ibid).
"mukhyām vịttim parityajya guņa-vịttyā’rtha-darśanam, yad-uddiśya phalam, tatra śabdo naiva s-khalad-gatiḥ. (Dhy. I. 17) vācakatvā”śrayeņaiva gunavịttir vyavasthitā, vyañjakatvaika-mülasya dhvaneh syāl laksanam katham. (Dhv. I. 18) "kasyacid dhvanibhedasya sā tu syād upalaksanam, laksaņe’nyaiḥ krte cā’sya pakșa-samsiddhir eva nah.”
(Dhv. I. 19) "If one gives up the primary denotative power of a word and understands a sense (secondarily converyed by it) through the indica ive power, it is because of a purpose. In conveying this purpose, the word does not move falteringly at all (as it moves 'falteringly when indicating a meaning secondarily.” (Dhv. I. 17).
