The ‘meaning’ here referred to is to be understood
as the ‘defective’ meaning.
The following are the examples of the defects of mean-
ing in due order :—
(1) ‘Having renounced the pleasures of ease during
his constant journey through the very wide-spread ethereal
path, and making to smile the lotus which has its fragrance
wafted by the breeze—the sun shines resplendent.’
The epithets ‘very wide-spread’ (‘path’) and the rest
are such that even if they were dropped, there would be
no harm done to the sense ; hence they are ‘irrelevant’—
not ‘inconsistent’ or ‘tautological’.
