वक्रोक्तिः Vakroktiḥ : Innuendo :
vakra ukti (√vac kti <ktin) literally means an ambiguous or charming
or twisted or artful expression or statement, a kind of exaggeration by any
twisted way of expression, or a covert expression of something else than
what is expressed by word or words. As a figure of speech Vakrokti con-
sists in the use of evasive speech or expression either by means of
Śleṣa (Pun) or by change of tone (kāku). Most of the rhetoricians
like Daṇḍin, Bhāmaha, Rudraṭa, Viśvanātha did not define it but
praised it as an important figure as well as an ideal device of liter-
ary expression for the poets.
Daṇḍin remarks that paronomastic expression (Śleṣa) enhances
the beauty of all figurative speech with Vakrokti. Bhāmaha says that
Vakrokti has to be applied in all classes of literary language and its
charm is wholesomely agreeable in poetic device. He also pre-
scribes that each and every poet should sincerely use Vakrokti and
remarks that this device is the basic principle lying in all poetic
expressions. Vāmana defines it as lakṣaṇā or extended denotation, that
implies something more than what is expressed (for example siṃho
mānavakaḥ ie The boy is a lion). Therefore, in his opinion, many
famous figures such as Rūpaka (Metaphor), Pariṇāma,
(Commutation), Samāsokti (Personification), Dīpaka (Illuminator) as
well as all cases of lakṣaṇā (or the extraordinary sense implied by
