It is said: / 'Whatever speech is straightforward in treatise and in ordinary life is merely speech; / that which is oblique in eulogistic passages and the like is remembered as poetry. / If the whole intention of the speaker is comprehended from the sentence, / that is purport, an attribute of meaning; poetic suggestion, however, is an attribute of linguistic sound. / Purport is accepted as an internal quality, like good fortune; / poetic suggestion of the two is the external, like the charm of the Goddess of Speech. / But because of their absence of great distance, the two are spoken of by either term, / just as the two months Surabhi and Vaiśākha are denoted by the names Madhu and Mādhava.' / Thus the meaning of the case-ending, the meaning of the complex formation, and word-meaning have been described, / and sentence-meaning has been proclaimed through divisions such as contemplation. / And because action is a word-meaning, its nature as sentence-meaning has been set aside; / and this was done with contemplation having the nature of word-meaning as its cause. / The expressible, the qualificand, and the things to be conveyed of linguistic sound are said to be action and the like; / and superimposition, actual transformation, and illusory transformation of it are with respect to them. / Word-meaning is accepted as the abode of the principal [elements], an accessory embellishment of that which possesses the meaning of the case-ending and the meaning of the complex formation; / but a word would fall within the domain of sentence-meaning, since meaning [arises] from it; therefore it is investigated. / Thus ends the sixth illumination, named 'The Illumination of the Tetrad of Case-Ending Meaning and the Rest', in the Śṛṅgāraprakāśa composed by the supreme king of kings, the venerable Bhojadeva.
