CHAPTER V 135
स हि रसादिशब्देन शृङ्गारादिशब्देन वाभिधीयेत । न चाभि-
धीयते तत्प्रयोगेपि विभावाद्यप्रयोगे तस्याप्रतिपत्तेस्तदप्रयोगेपि
विभावादिप्रयोगे तस्य प्रतिपत्तेश्चेत्यन्वयव्यतिरेकाभ्यां विभा-
वाद्यभिधानद्वारेणैव प्रतीयते इति निश्चीयते ।
तेनासौ व्यङ्ग्य एव । मुख्यार्थबाधाद्यभावान्न पुनर्लक्षणीयः ।
be directly expressed. If these were expressed, they
could be so, either by the (generic) words ‘rasa’
(Passion) and the rest, or by the (particular) words
‘śṛṅgāra’ (erotic) and the rest ; as a matter of fact they
are not so expressed ; as is clear from the facts (a) that
even though these words are used, the Passion and the
rest are not cognised, so long as the excitants (ensuants
and variants) are not mentioned, and (b) that even when
those words are not used, if the excitants (ensuants and
variants) are mentioned, there is due cognition of Passion
and the rest ; and from these two premises—both affir-
mative and negative—it follows that what brings about
the cognition of these latter is the mention of the excitants
(ensuants and variants) (and not any verbal expressions
at all).
It is for this reason that Passion and the rest can be
only suggested, and not even indicated, because the necessary
conditions of Indication,—such as incompatibility of the
primary meaning and so forth—are wanting. Then again,
it has been already explained how there can be no ‘Indica-
tion’ without that kind of ‘suggestion of Fact in which
the expressed meaning is either transformed into some-
thing else or entirely ignored. In that ‘suggestion’
which is based upon the force of the words, the denota-
tion itself being restricted, any other that may be denoted,
