A Handbook of Classical Sanskrit Rhetoric
(ii) the second one may be either nirvyūḍhā (accomplished)
or anirvyūḍhā (plain),
(iii) the third one may be either svāvāvika (natural) or naimit-
tika (casual),
(iv) the fourth one may be either mukhya (primary) or gauņa
(secondary).
All of these may again have two varieties- abhidhiyamāna (exp-
resely stated) or pratīyamāna (implied or suggested).
Bhoja has recognised another class of this figure named as
Citrokti (Fascinating Statement). Various artistic as well as logical
devices, common tricks or popular idioms recognised as separate
alamkāras by Bhoja should be treated under the perview of
Vākovākya. But Mammața remarks that all such figures should be
included in Vyäjokti.
Numerous examples of Vākovākya are given below:
egl.. bhāva-sthirāṇi jananāntara-sauhṛdāni.
भावस्थिराणि जननान्तर - सौहृदानि ।
All sweet companionships of our previous births are
imprinted in our souls:
2. na hi mănuşāt parataram kiñcit. .
न हि मानुषात् परतरं किंचित् ।
There is nothing superior to man
3. durlabho hi śucir naraḥ. .
दुर्लभो हि शुचिर्नरः ।
A person pure in all respects is but rare.
4. munināñca mati-bhramaḥ.
मुनीनाञ्च मतिभ्रमः ।
Even the wise are subject to bewilderment.
