Now, foretokening (prarocanā):
Foretokening is the indication of a future event as if already accomplished.
3.141.p2
As in that very work, in the eighth act, Karaṅka (aside): "Friend Kaṅkāla, His Majesty awakens Kumbhakarṇa, but not himself. Moreover, though awakened with effort, he is surely to be put to sleep again by Rāma."
3.141.p3
Kaṅkāla: "I think that, with the exception of Vibhīṣaṇa, this is the destiny of everyone."
3.141.p4
Karaṅka: "Just so." Here, because Kaṅkāla and Karaṅka indicate the future destruction of demons such as Kumbhakarṇa by ascertaining it as if already accomplished, this is foretokening.
