na tadarthāntarabhāvāt ||
NyS 1.2.16: [It is] not so, because there is a difference in its meaning.
58.4
na vākchalam evopacāracchalam, tasyārthasadbhāvapratiṣedhasyārthāntarabhāvāt/ kutaḥ? arthāntarakalpanātaḥ/ anyā hy arthāntarakalpanā, anyo 'rthasadbhāvapratiṣedha iti//
Metaphorical quibble is not verbal quibble itself, because its denial of the fact of the matter has a different meaning. Why? Because it arises from the supposition of another meaning. For the supposition of another meaning is one thing, and the denial of the fact of the matter is another.
