Vyājoktiḥ: Innuendo
between two similar objects represented as the referent and the
non-referent, but, according to him, Vyājokti does not conceive
such resemblance. Besides this, in Apahnuti, the object of compari-
son (upameya) is denied and the standard of comparison
(upamāna) is established in place of upameya, while Vyājokti estab-
lishes concealment of something through an artistic expression.
According to Viśvanātha, the subject of description (ie prastuta) in
Vyājokti is not explicitly mentioned and some other thing similar to
it in any way is superimposed in it. Here the intended sense though
concealed cunningly can be connoted or suggested. In short,
Apahnuti is real concealment, but Vyājokti is pretended conceal-
ment. Mammața says that the figures recognised as Yukti or
Mithyadhyavasiti should be included in Vyājokti.
Three important elements are to be found in this figure :
(a) concealment of the intended object or thing,
(b)
exposition of such concealment by some pretext and
exposition of a false cause by denying the actual cause.
(c)
eg 1. aho saityasya mahimā/himānila tavedṛśaḥ.
na śakyate gopāyitum/kṛto yenādhara-vraṇaḥ.
अहो शैत्यस्य महिमा / हिमानिल तवेदृशः ।
न शक्यते गोपायितुं / कृतो येनाधरव्रणः ॥
O northern breeze, such indeed is your power of chill
That chaps on my lips, caused by it, I cannot conceal.
Here in this example, the young lady wants to conceal the
marks of biting on her lips by her lover on the pretext that she sar-
castically praises the chilly breeze which,.according to her state-
ment, has caused such chaps.
