suffix added to fa.according to HS.VIII.2.159.1871 thus standsfor हृदयवत् and हियाली for हृदयवती (that is to say, गाथा). हृदयवती (गाथा) means a sta nza which has a heart i.e. a second, hidden meaning, under. lying the literal, apparent, sense, and which thereby puzzles the reader and poses a problem before him in the matter of finding out the hidden sense. fear (Equat 1741) therefore means a riddle, an enigma. It corresponds in sense, if not in phonetic form, to TERII, which also has a covert meaning behind its apparent sense. प्रहेलिका is defined as : व्यक्तीकय कमध्यर्थ स्वरूपार्धस्य गोपनाता यत्र वाह्यान्तरावयाँ Pot fi ser II (facug4037). TE37 is the apparent, obvious sense and corresponds to act in the above-given definition of HERRII, while 372 373 corresponds to the subtle, hidden sense, the tapetri in the above given definition. Rudrața in bis Kāvyā. amkara V. 25 says that प्रहेलिका is either स्पष्टप्रच्छन्नाथ or अव्याहृताथी.

The latter is that variety where a question is asked or an unreasonable, puzzling statement is made and a solution is to be tourd out as a reply to be question or as an explan-tion of the unreasonable statement None of the riddles in the हिया वज्जा is रपः प्रछनार्थी (in-. volving the use of double meaning words). but all of them are 35a1eart, twelve being in the form of puzzling questions to which answers are to be found out and two (star zas Nos. 612 and 616) being in the form of puzzling statements, which require to be explained.
Though fear and that are thus one and the sanje thing the word well emphasises the amusing or entertaining function of the riddle. Eat means sport, amusement, pastrime, It is perhaps connected with the word aa (or 21), which finally is to be traced to act. The word fart underlines the mystifyir g or puzzling aspect of the ciddle which is due to the subtle, de p-laid, hidden answer or explanation which it demands.
The word ह्रदयवती is used by Anardavardhana in ध्वन्यानोक III.. 43 : हृदयवतीषु च षट्पशादिगाथासु, which rneans "in the gaihās of षट् and
