: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)

ٲ貹Գܳپ (कैतवापह्नुति) refers to one of the 93 ṃk (“figures of speech�) mentioned by Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭācārya (fl. 17th century) in his Kāvyavilāsa and is listed as one of the 89 ٳṃk (figure of speech determined by the sense, as opposed to sound).

After discussing 貹ⲹ貹Գܳپ Cirañjīva proceeds to discuss 첹ٲ貹Գܳپ. When a fact is denied by the speaker by using the words like , ṣa etc. it is called 첹ٲ貹Գܳپ.

Example of the 첹ٲ貹Գܳپ-alaṃkāra:�

madhyātsamānīya susārabhāga� vakṣojamutpādayitā vidhātā |
atiprayatnātrivalīmiṣeṇa sopānavartmatritaya� cakāra ||

“The creator has produced the breast by bringing up the extreamly substantial part from the middle portion and in the pretext of creating with great effort the three mascular rinkles of the belly, he has made the path with three steps�.

Notes: In this verse the three mascular folds of the belly are denied, so it is an example of 첹ٲ貹Գܳپ.
