Where a suggested meaning, though implied by the power of word and meaning,
is further disclosed by the poet through his own statement,
that is quite another poetic figure, not suggestion. ||
45.3
Where a suggested meaning, though implied by the power of words, by the power of meaning, or by the power of both word and meaning, is further made explicit by the poet through his own statement, that is quite another poetic figure, distinct from this suggestion whose suggested meaning resembles an echo. Or, even when suggestion of imperceptible process is possible, such a case is a different poetic figure.

Among these, by the power of words, as in:
45.5
"Child, do not despair! Cease this swift-rushing upward breath!
What is this heavy trembling of yours? Let Balabhid become haughty; depart from here!"

may the Ocean, foolish from churning, who gave Lakṣmī to him, burn away your sins!
45.6
By the power of meaning, as in:
"My mother sleeps here, old; here is my father, chief among the advanced in age;
likewise here is the water-fetching maid, her body limp from the fatigue of every household chore;
here am I, wretched and alone, whose lord of life has been abroad for several days"—
thus was it said to the traveler by the young woman under the guise of casual conversation.
45.7
By the power of both, as in: "With a gaze captivated by the passion of the cowherd Keśava," and so on. ||
