Ānandavardhana speaks about two broad divisions of the suggestive meaning—It establishes that the meaning that satisfies the soul of the connoisseur is the soul of poetry and it is divided into two varieties viz., vācya-artha and pratīyamāna-artha. Vācya-artha is the primary meaning which is explicit in nature and pratīyamāna-artha is the suggestive meaning.
