In Hinduism
Kavyashastra (science of poetry)
Source: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)Vyājastuti (व्याजस्तुति) refers to 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).—Most of the Ālaṃkārikas have admitted the figure of speech named vyājastuti. Bhāmaha (III/31), Daṇḍin (II/343-347), Udbhaṭa (V/16), Vāmana (IV/III/24) have dealt with this vyājastuti. Ruyyaka (A.S.P. 112) defines it as—“stutinindābhyāṃ nindāstutyorgamyatve vyājastutiḥ”.—“When from apparent praise or censure, censure or praise respectively is implied the figure is vyājastuti”. Mammaṭa holds the same view. Mammaṭa (X/169) and Viśvanātha (X/78) have defined it in the same manner.
Jayadeva whom Cirañjīva follows generally has discussed only one figure that is vyājastuti. But Cirañjīva has admitted two figures called stutinindā and nindāstuti instead of one that is vyājastuti admitted by others. Actually he considers two fold vyājastuti as two separate figures of speech. When from an apparent praise censure is comprehended in the end, it is the figure stutinindā.
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.
