In course of time, six other figures appear to have been analysed and added, and Bhāmaha mentions them next in a group in ii 66. They are *ākṣepa*, *arthāntaranyāsa*, *vyatireka*, *vibhāvanā*, *samāsokti* and *atiśayokti*. Of these there is no trace in Bharata. This constitutes probably the second stage of development, in which can also be included a seventh figure *vārttā*, which is referred to by Daṇḍin in i 85, but which is not accepted by Bhāmaha (ii 87) 59.
