In Hinduism
Kavyashastra (science of poetry)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (kavya)1) The Suggestive Sense (in Sanskrit poetics) is referred to as Dhvani, which refers to one of the three types of Kāvya (“poetry”), according to Mammaṭabhaṭṭa, the author of the Kāvyaprakāśa.—The Suggestive sense is referred to as dhvani in Sanskrit poetics. Ānandavardhana, the founder of Dhvani school of Sanskrit poetics and also the author of Dhvanyāloka 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., vācyārtha and pratīyamānārtha. Vācyārtha is the primary meaning which is explicit in nature and pratīyamānārtha is the suggestive meaning.
2) The Suggestive Sense (of a word) can also be denoted by the Sanskrit word Vyañjanā, according to the Sāhityadarpaṇa.—Accordingly, 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.
Kavyashastra (काव्यशास्त्र, kāvyaśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian tradition of poetry (kavya). Canonical literature (shastra) of the includes encyclopedic manuals dealing with prosody, rhetoric and various other guidelines serving to teach the poet how to compose literature.
