Guḍotprekṣā (गुडोत्प्रेक्षा) is another name for Guptotprekṣā: one of the 93 alaṃkāras (“figures of speech”) mentioned by Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭācārya (fl. 17th century) in his Kāvyavilāsa and is listed as one of the 89 arthālaṃkāras (figure of speech determined by the sense, as opposed to sound).—When the suggestive words like nūnam, prāyaḥ, dhruvam, manye, śaṅke etc. are not used to indicate saṃbhāvanā, it is called guptotprekṣā. It is to be notted here that Cirañjīva has used the name guptotprekṣā instead of guḍotprekṣā, though the conception in both the cases is the same.
