अयि विजहीहि दृढोपगूहनं त्यज नवसंगमभीरुकं वल्लभम् ।
अरुण-करोद्गम एष वर्तते वरतनु सम्प्रवदन्ति कुक्कुटाः ॥
Relax thy close embrace, O dame,
Leave thy love timid of first union;
The cuckoo unites to proclaim -
Here is now the break of dawn.

गूढोक्तिः Gūḍhoktiḥ : Condensed Statement :
gūḍha literally means hidden, concealed, disguised, covered, private etc.
and ukti is statement. Therefore, Gūḍhokti rhetorically means a kind
of condensed meaning brought forth by the primary sense. It is
recognised by a few scholars like Bhoja, Appayya and Keśavamiśra.
One variety of the figure Vākovākya is also known as Gūḍhokti. Some
examples of such figures prove that the illustrations have generally
been taken from popular usage and not from common specimens
of literary compositions.
eg 1. purāṇam ityeva na sādhu sarvam.
पुराणमित्येव न साधु सधम् ।
All old is not gold

चित्रम् Citram : The Picturesque :
The word citra literally means wonderful, amazing, strange, queer
amusing, surprising variegated etc. The figure of speech is called
Citra because it appears artistically amusing to the reader by its
wonderful features of metrical or versified form, phonetic timbre
and movement (forward, backward and crossward). It is primarily a
figure of word, still it should be considered a figure of both word
and meaning.
