Dhananjaya-Dhanika denounced vyañjanā in favour of 'tātparya' which as Viśvanātha ably explains is just another name of vyañjanā and thus their opposition is also having elated ego at its root. Bhoja, as we have seen has in his own way accepted dhvani under different heads and has not rejected vyañjanā either.
