2 The purpose of a word is to convey a meaning. It does
it in three ways: 1) Expressly, literally, or as spoken;
2) metaphorically and 3) by implication.
The expressed meaning of the word is called the vacyār-
tha'-the meaning as spoken. This is also the 'mukhyartha'
the principal or literal meaning and şakyartha or meaning
conveyed by the inherent power of the word. The metaphorical
meaning is gouna', a secondary meaning got through the
possession of some common quality. e. g. when one refers to
the royal Bengal tiger hunted by someone, of course, the word
'tiger' conveys the literal meaning-the animal. When Tippu
is referred to as the tiger of Mysore the word tiger does not
mean the animal literally, but refers to some quality like
courage, dignity, noblity etc., which Tippu had in common with
the animal. This is the metaphorical, secondary or 'gouna'
sense.
"
The implied meaning, lakshyartha', is to be looked for
where the other two meanings of the word do not fit into the
sense. This is a meaning which has some association with the
expressed meaning which the word conveys by its own capacity
or ability- şakti'. The association is şakya-sambandha'.
"
This implied meaning can be of three kinds: (i) where the
literal meaning of the word is given up completely and the
meaning suggested by association only is accepted; e. g. the
village on the Ganga. Here the literal meaning of the word
Gangā, namely the mass of flowing water known as the river of.
is given up completely and the meaning of the bank
of the Ganga which is associated with the river is accepted. This
is the Jahat-lakshana.
that name,
(ii) Where the literal meaning is retained and something
more is added to complete the sense; e. g. when one is told to
guard the curds against crows, it does not mean that he should
allow it to be destroyed by creatures other than crows. 'Crows'
