relation with the primary sense; but the suggested sense sometimes has no sort of definite relation with the primary sense and sometimes it has a relation to a sense which has in its turn a relation to the primary sense. Besides, the suggested sense never stultifies the primary sense while always does so. Thus there is a wide gulf of difference between the indicated sense and the suggested sense.

It cannot even be said that this suggested sense is always dependent on words; for sometimes it springs from gestures and other things.
Thus the suggested sense is a thing altogether different from either the primary sense, or the indicated sense or the purport of the sentence.
The monistic school of Vedanta thinks that the whole sentence is a i. e. the meaning of the whole sentence is the primary sense. This school thinks that everything else is illusion. Well, even that school is constrained to admit पद and पदार्थ for the sake of व्यवहार (daily intercourse); why not then accept ara ( the suggested sense) as well, for the sake of aagr ?
Lastly महिमभट्ट in his famous work व्यक्तिविवेक tries to refute this suggested sense by saying that what others accept as the suggested sense can be as well arrived at by means of अनुमानप्रमाण. Thus in the illustration भ्रम arfa fa etc. the sense that the pious man is going to run away or rather should run away from the banks of Godavari is inferred from the wandering of the lion in the same place. Thus here, in fact in all other places of the suggested sense as well, अनुमान, the process of inference, would, according to aн, very well serve the purpose of (process of suggestion.)
