इत्यादौ पिनाक्यादिपदवैलक्षण्येन किमिति कपाल्यादि-
पदानां काव्यानुगुणत्वम् ।

instance, the words 'the sun has set' suggests (1) the
idea that 'now is the opportunity to attack the enemy'
(when they are addressed by the general to the king) ;—
(2) that you should set forth to meet your lover' (when
addressed by the confidant to the girl in love),—(3) that
'your lover is just coming' (when addressed by a friend
