(1) The relation of cause and effect:-eg.

Sutra 18th defines
thus:
The indicated sense must be connected with the original sense (or in other words the original and the super-imposed senses must have a relation between them); there must be a (supposed) complete identification between the two senses. Now in गौणार्थ there is both a partial and a complete identification between the original and the snper-imposed sense, while in only complete identification is intended. This is the only point of difference between गौणार्थ and लक्ष्यार्थ. The word giving rise to this is called a
word.
