(C) THE DEVELOPMENT (GARBHA-SANDHI) AND ITS SUB-
-DIVISIONS (Angas):
(i) Misstatement (Abh奴t膩harana): The strange love-
letter found by Ma帽jiraka seems to reveal the internal

of the love-letter is an illustration in the point.
(iii) Supposition (R奴pa): The effect of the love-
letter on Samaraketu and Kamalagupta's speech marks this
stage.
(iv) Exaggeration (Ud膩hara峁嘺): Samaraketu's introdu-
ction of his life history indicates this stage.
(v) Progress (Krama): Samaraketu's successful naval
expedition illustrates this sub-division.
