v2.c79.53
correspond partly to the metaphorical mode of expression included by Vāmana in his peculiar definition of *vakrokti* (IV. 3. 8), or comprised by later writers under *lakṣaṇā* or *upacāra*. Referring to Vāmana's definition of *artha-guṇa prasāda* as *artha-vaimalya* (III. 2. 3), Abhinava seems to support our suggestion when he says *so'rtho vaimalyâśrayo'pi vaimalyam upacārāt*, thus attempting to approximate Bharata's *prasāda* to Vāmana's *artha-guṇa* of that name.
