the gallaxy of figures like metaphor etc. can be harmonized with Rasa-development - such aspects can never be overemphasized.
Chapter Two 20 Vide 'Indian Theories of Meaning' by Dr. K. K. Raja
pp. 253-54. 21 Ibid p. 19. Dr. K. K. Raja writes : "The essential nature
of a word lies in its significative power (Sabda : Śaktam padam)"; Vide pp. 19-24 for a critical review of the diff.
theories on the primary signification. 22 Vide K.P. 11. 8, gloss. 23 'Sanketo gļhyate jātau guņadravyakriyāşu ca'. 24 K.P. II. 8 ff. 25 Dr. K. Kunjunni Raja clearly explains the nature of the
metaphoric usage in Indian Theories of Meaning',
Chap. 6, p. 231 etc. 26 'Gunanimittä Vrttirgauņīvșttih' or 'Guņebhya āgatā gauņi.'
27 Gautama applies the term Upacara to this secondary
function of words. Vide 'Indian Theories of Meaning', pp. 233-234. The motive element is greatly emphasized by the Literary Critics.
28 Dr. K. Kunjunni Raja writes : "According to Kumārilabhatta
and other Mimāṁsakas Gauņi and Lakşaņā are two separate functions of words; but other schools of thought, who also accept this distinction, consider them as two varieties of the secondary power of words, and they use the term Laksaņā to cover both, the former being called Gauni Laksaņā or Upacāra and the latter śuddha
(pure) Lakşaņā." (Emphasis added) Ibid, p. 240. 29 Ibid, p. 240 (see f.n. 28, above).
