as also the Simile or any other figure of speech that may
be perceptible, must doubtless be regarded as ‘suggest-
ted’.
In cases of ‘suggestion’ based upon the force of mean-
ing also, how can there be any possibility of the ‘suggest-
ted’ meaning being regarded as ‘expressed’ or ‘deno-
ted’, when,—in accordance with the ‘Abhihitānvaya’
theory—what is expressed by a sentence is the mutual
relationship among the denotation of the component words
based upon their mutual need, proximity and capability ;
and as such it must be confined to particular individuals,
and hence cannot be ‘denoted’ by any single word, whose
denotation must always pertain to Universals only, for the
simple reason that convention, upon which alone ‘deno-
tation’ is based, can never pertain to particular individuals.
[‘Suggestion’ being shown to be inevitable according
to the Bhāṭṭa theory of ‘Abhihitānvaya,’ the author proceeds
to show that it must be accepted under the Prābhākara
theory of ‘Anvitābhidhāna’ also ; and for this purpose
he sets forth this latter theory, as bearing upon the matter
under consideration.]
