This explanation of *sampanna* is probably given to make the definition correspond to that of Vāmana's *ārohāvaroha-kramaḥ samādhiḥ* (III. i. 13); for Abhinava goes on explaining *ākrāntyuccāraṇe ārohāvaroha-krama eva*, the *āroha* and *avaroha* depending, as he discusses in detail, on *uccāraṇa*. Hemacandra and Māṇikyacandra explain Bharata's definition simply as *arthasya guṇāntara-samādhānāt samādhir iti bharataḥ*.
