(5) Ślesa :
Among the Sabdalnakāras, the poet bas utilized śleşa, Anuprāsa and Yamaka, By far Jinabhadrasūri is very fond of paronomasia of both the Sabhanga and the Abbanga varieties, the former necessiating two-way splitting of the syllables of the phrases. The Sabhanga type of slesa, it must be noted, presupposes the necessity of the close-writing style in which the words of a verse or a sentence are not separated. This practice has prevailed up to date as an accepted calligraphic feature in the case of Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabbraṁsa manuscripts in India since last two millenniums. The beautiful craftsmanship involved in this type of parono masia is difficult to be properly expressed in the modern printed texts
