the author says निषेधेने� [ԾṣeԱ𱹲 ] etc. The विवृतिका� [ṛt ] introduces the
निषेधेने� [ԾṣeԱ𱹲] � thus : नन� चेष्टमिच्छाकर्� तत्कदाचिन्नैवोच्ये� � तद्वक्ष्यमाणोक्त-
विषयतय� द्वैविध्यमित्याह - निषेधेनै� �.

The chief point is that the word is used here.

वक्तुमिष्ट [ٳܳṣṭ ] and here it is the negation of the actual विधे�. [vidheya. ] Com-
bining these two definitions Indurāja says - विधानकर्मताद्वारेणैवात्र

sentence by the fact that a thing is being asserted (lit.
being made the object of the action of ass, for there
is no other clue to know it. Thus when a thing desired
to be
asserted () is actually expressed (either verbally
or
by implication) then the apparent negation of it is
called आक्षेप.

] that which is asserted, an assertion. An assertion is
of two kinds: (1) implied and (2) verbal. When the faafar
is not
directly expressed in words but is learnt from the
(helped by other clauses) made of it then the assertion
(विधानकर्मत�) [Բ첹) ] is only implied (आर्थी). [ٳī). ] But when it is directly
expressed, it is verbal (a). In the first case viz. when
the
assertion is not made but is understood by the
negation
of it, the आक्षेप [ṣe貹 ] is वक्ष्यमाणविष�. [ṣyṇaṣaⲹ. ] In the second case
it is
उक्तविषय.
