CHAPTER IV 81
अविरुद्धावपि त्वदनुवर्तनार्थमेकं कार्यं कुरुत इति ध्वन्यते ।
अर्थशक्त्युद्भवोप्यर्थो व्यञ्जकः संभवी स्वतः ॥ ३९ ॥
प्रौढोक्तिमात्रसिद्धो वा कवेस्तेनोम्भितस्य वा ।
वस्तु वालंकृतिर्वेति षड्भेदोऽसौ व्यनक्ति यत् ॥ ४० ॥
वस्त्वलंकारमथवा तेनायं द्वादशात्मकः ।

चित्येन संभाव्यमानः । कविना प्रतिभामात्रेण बहिरसन्नपि

to the bold assertion of the poet or (c) owing its existence to
the bold assertion of some character portrayed by the poet ;—
each of these three being either a figure of speech or a bare fact,
it comes to be of six kinds (39-40) ; and since each of these
suggests a figure or a fact, it comes to be of twelve kinds.
(a) ‘ Self-existent’—Not only created by the words
of the poet, but having a real existence in the world ;
—(b) created by the poet’s imagination, and having no
real existence in the external world ;—(c) created by the
imagination of a speaker portrayed by the poet ;—these
two non-existent varieties along with the former make the
