falf: Vinoktiḥ: Speech of Absence :
vinā ukti (√vac kti) literally means exclusive statement. Rhetorically
Vinokti is a figure in which an object in the absence of some other
object is represented as agreeable or disagreeable. Here the parti-
cle vină (meaning exclusion or absence of something) may be
directly used or its sense may be implied. This figure is a statement
of poetic affirmation through negation or it is a kind of negative
approach for a positive assertion. Here the object of description is
by nature fair or agreeable by itself, but it is poetically represented
as unfair or disagreeable due to the absence of some other object or
thing. Vinokti is just the opposite of Sahokti in form and meaning.
eg 1. vinayena vinā kā śrīḥ / kā niśā śašinā vinā?
rahitā sat-kavitvena / kīdṛśī vāg-vidaghatā?
विनयेन विना का श्रीः / का निशा शशिना विना ।
रहिता सत्कवित्वेन / कीदृशी वाग्विदग्धता ।
What is beauty-
If it is without modesty?
-
What is a night -
If it is without moonlight?
What is elegance of diction -
If it is bereft of poetic imagination?
