7) 'What a formulation intends, or does not intend.'
An important example is found under 4. 1.92 (tasyāpatyam). The vrtti says that the genitive, tasya of the sūtra, concerns the base upagu- in the expression upagorapatyam, and is restricted to the meaning of 'descent.' In place of upagorapatyam we may use aupagavah, 'the offspring of Upagu', deriving from the base upagu- with the affix an as per 4. 1. 83.

1) 'The desire to express or utter something' is present. One example of several : auttarādharyam...vivaksitam, 'the desire to express the state of one thing being over the other,' under 8. 1.7.
2) 'The desire to express a meaning provided for, or not provided for, by the rules;' for example, dravamūrtisparsavivaksāyām under 6.1.26, which repeats the wording of 6. 1. 24, or also samipye vivaksite under 8. 1. 7. In
