[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Primary meaning in Kavyashastra glossary

The Primary Meaning of words (in Sanskrit poetics) is denoted by the Sanskrit word Abhidhā, according to the Sāhityadarpaṇa.—Accordingly, there are three kinds of meaning of words which are: 峦ٳ, ṣārٳ and ⲹṅgٳ. The 峦ٳ is known by 󾱻, ṣārٳ is known by ṣaṇ� and ⲹṅgٳ is recognized by ⲹñᲹ. Thus it can be said that Abhidhā denotes the primary meaning, where the dictionary meaning of the word is predominant. Lakṣaṇ� denotes the secondary meaning which is established after the failure of the primary sense though it is based on the primary meaning. And ⲹñᲹ denotes the suggestive sense of a word.
