Vyañjanā'
685 place here. The second sense itself is gathered only through abhidhā or expression. It is termed sabda-sakti-mülaka or one having word at its base, because in case of such a comparision or superimposition, the second sense is brought about through the agency of word alone.
Now, if we put together this fourth view, and the view held by Abhinavagupta himself, we will reach the position taken by Jagannātha. He has discussed the question elaborately. But before we move on to Jagannātha, we will move on presently with Mammata, who is the author on hand, and his foll
As observed earlier. Mammata considers vyañjanā or the suggestive power of word as two-fold, i.e. one based on word, or sābdī, and the other rooted in sense, or arthi. We have noted above under what conditions śābdī vyañjanā operates. As for, śabda-śakti-mūla-dhvani, Mammața, unlike Anandavardhana and Abhinavagupta, accepts the possibility of a suggested idea i.e. vastu also, and not a suggested figure only, as done by the former. Thus, he seems to expand the scope of 'sabda-śakti-mūla-dhvani'.
As for ārthī vyañjanā, or suggestion based on meaning, Mammața observes the following in the beginning of ullāsa III. K.P. He observes that the meanings of these words have already been mentioned, which are three viz. expressed, indicated and suggested. Now the suggestiveness-vyañjakatā-of these three meanings is explained by Mammața, who observes : kīdṛśīty āha -

The function of the (three-fold) meaning, which, on account of the speciality of (i) the speaker, (ii) the person addressed, (iii) the intonation, (iv) the sentence, (v) the expressed sense, (vi) the presence of another (vii) occasion (viii) place, (ix) time and the like, causes the awareness of another meaning to persons endowed with poetic faculty, is nothing but suggestion.
The person addressed means one who is communicated with. Intonation means modulation of voice. Occasion means context. "Of the meaning - arthasya" means
