(xviii) *saṃkṣepa*, brevity of statement. (xix) *saukṣmya*, minuteness or subtlety of sense. (xx) *prauḍhi*, maturity of sense (this comes under *pāka* detailed above). (xxi) *ukti*, cleverness of speech. (xxii) *rīti*, homogeneity of manner (corresponding to Vāmana’s *samatā*), consisting of the completion of a sentence or theme in the manner in which it was begun. (xiii) *bhāvika*, conduct of a sentence according to its underlying emotion or sentiment (*bhāvataḥ*). (xxiv) *gati*, a pleasing effect produced by long and short vowels (*suramyatvaṃ svarārohāvarohayoḥ*, in which *svarāroha* is explained as *dīrghākṣara-prāyatva*, and *svāravaroha* as its reverse). The *Agni-purāṇa*, while admitting most of these excellences, classifies and defines them somewhat differently. See ch. 345, and above p. 259.
