SAHRDAYĀLOKA (Dr. Bhat adds a foot-note : Abhinava's example is of a verse where the character asks questions and states his answers. The verse, ordinarily will be an example of parisamkhyā alamkāra.]
(116b-117a) - Something connected with another context (serves) to accomplish some other result, that is to be known as Avalagita (Transferred connection) by the designers of drama.
(Dr. Bhat) (foot-note : The example is Ratnāvalī II. from Vidusaka's - "api sukhayati te locanam... to V. 11)
(117b-118a) - When a certain matter (artha) which has been stated (āksipta) from which good or evil may arise (unintentionally) is skilfully interprete another meaning, that will be Ava-spandita, (ominous suggestion).
(Dr. Bhat - "The example is Venīsamhāra I. 6. ("satpaksā madhura-girah...") and the sūtradhāra's comments on his assistant's remarks.
(118 b) When a riddle-like (enigmatic) reply is followed by laughter, that is to be known as Nālikā (or Nalī. riddle and laughter).
[Dr. Bhat : cf. Ratnāvali II. after V. 15 (from jassa kide āgadā... upto cittaphalakāsya') , lines 1-5.]
(119) That is 'Asat-pralāpa' (Incoherent chatter) [Where the statement or question and the reply both are inconsistent) - where the statement made by a learned man in the presence of fools, although beneficial, is not accepted.
[Dr. Bhat adds : See Abhinava, op. cit. p. 456, for the example. The alternative reading is quite clear :
"a-sambaddham ca yad vākyam, a-sambaddham tathottaram, a-sat-pralāpas tac caiva vithyām samyak prayojayet."]
(120a) In this representation (of Vithī), the vākkeli (sportive speech, Repartee) is a single or twofold reply. (120b-121a) - A statement which is untrue but which looks like mutual praise of two, which is intended in the interest of one (of the two), and which evokes laughter, will be 'prapanca' (comic exposure).
[Dr. Bhat : cf. Ratnávali II, after VS. 15, from the king's speech - “katham aham ihasthah bhavatyā jñātah”, upto 'devie nivedaissam' and the gift of ornament. Abhinava, op. cit., p. 456).
(121b-122a) - When as a result of hot dispute (vivāda) the merits (of one) are made to look like faults, on the basis of definite cause, or the faults are turned into merits, that is known by the name 'mțdava'. (crushing.)
