experienced to be pervading and overflowing from the works of great poets. Thus there is no doubt that like Lāvanya, the Pratīyamāna sense is an acknowledged source of charm and beauty in great poetry. It will be remembered that in his Vịtti (gloss) on Dhvanyāloka 1.4, Ānandavardhana calls this Lāvanya as "Kimapianyadeva sahşdayalocanāmptam tattväntaram" and remarks that this Pratīyamāna sense is exactly like that, i.e., like 'nectar of joy'.
Hemachandra very closely follows here the Dhvanyaloka and defines, divides and illustrates Dhvani, by and large, in the manner and words of the Dhvanyaloka. A careful look at the related topics in the Dhvanyaloka and their relation with this Sūtra, its gloss and the Viveka commentary will easily bear this observation out.
As we know, Abhinavagupta in his Locana Commentary on Dhvanyaloka (l. 4 ff) gives us a brief chart of the main divisions of the suggested senses as also of their mutual difference. Thus he states that Pratiyamānārtha is two-fold : Laukika and Kavyavyāpāraikagocara and elaborates on it to show his priority for the Rasadhvani. Thus we can show the classification of the suggested sense or Pratiyamānārtha as under:
The Suggested Sense
Laukika
Alaukika
or Ordinary
or Extraordinary
Rasadhvani, Bhavadhvani, etc. (i.e. Rasādi Dhvani)
Alamkāradhvani
Vastumātradhvani (Vidhinisedhadyaneka-prakārah)
