Kavyashastra (science of poetry)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (kavya)Vyaṅgārtha (व्यङ्गार्थ) refers to one of the “three kinds of meaning of words”, according to the Sāhityadarpaṇa.—There are three kinds of meaning of words which are: vācyārtha, lakṣārtha and vyaṅgārtha. The vācyārtha is known by abhidhā, lakṣārtha is known by lakṣaṇā and vyaṅgārtha is recognized by vyañjanā. Thus it can be said that Abhidhā denotes the primary meaning, where the dictionary meaning of the word is predominant. Lakṣaṇā denotes the secondary meaning which is established after the failure of the primary sense though it is based on the primary meaning. And vyañjanā denotes the suggestive sense of a word.
