3.19

The subsidiary relation of words toward their meaning is general. Only due to some other cause does having one's own form as primary, or having a non-intended meaning, constitute an exception in ordinary life. So it is in the Veda as well, because the expressive capacity of words is understood from ordinary life. Thus it has been said: 'The sentence-meaning, however, is not qualified.'
