SAHķDAYĀLOKA NS. XIX. 12 reads as -
"niyatām tu phalaprāptim yadā bhāvena paśyati, niyatām tām phala-prāptim
sa-guņām paricaksata.” Dr. Bhat (pp. 165, ibid) translates -
"When (the hero) is able to see the attainment of fruit definitely ordained (niyatā) on account of the important) means (already employed) (bhāvena), that is called "Niyatā phalaprāpti", or Ordained attainment of fruit, which is meritorious." This means that niyatā"pti - i.e. certainty of the achievement of fruit - consists of the absolute certainty of getting the final result. XIX. 12 observes -
"abhipretam samagram ca pratirūpam kriyāphalam, iti-vștte bhaved yasmin
phalayogaḥ sa kīrtitaḥ.” The phalayoga or attainment of the goal is where full intended result of the activity is shown in the plot
Dr. Bhat translates : (p. 165), -
"When the desired, appropriate (pratirūpa), total fruit of the action, becomes available in the (development of the) plot, that is called phala-yoga or Accomplishment of fruit."
Abhinavagupta takes note of the view of his teachers that everywhere, the plot should have the five joints or junctures since no effort is possible without various stages : upadyāyāstv āhuḥ - sarvatrétivșttam pañca-sandhyeva; na hi kiñcid api vyāpāro prārambhādy avasthā-pañcakam vina sidhyet.”
NS. XIX. 14 informs that whatever action is started by those who want to achieve a certain fruit, these stages occur in consequtive order. The putting together in a unified relation, - vs. 15 observes, of these stages having different nature individually, by bringing them into mutual connection - is said to the the cause of the fruit. This means that when these stages are made to serve jointly, they bring about the result.
