What is \*kāvya\*? \*Kāvya\* created through \*ukti\* (verbal expression) but then this \*ukti\* is not an ordinary expression, it is \*uktiviśeṣa\* (an extraordinary expression). Therefore poetry is defined as \*iṣṭārtha-vyavacchinnāpadāvalī\* (a series of words qualified by meanings which are imbued with charm). - [Previous: c10.s7.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c10.s7.2) - [Next: c10.s7.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c10.s7.4) - [Up: c10.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c10.s7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c10.s7.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c10.s7.3) · Pramāṇa
