鲹ٰ (रसमात्�) refers to one of the three divisions of Pratīyamānārtha (“suggestive meaning�), according to the Dhvanyāloka by Ānandavardhana (the founder of Dhvani school of Sanskrit poetics).—The suggestive sense is referred to as dhvani in Sanskrit poetics. Ānandavardhana speaks about two broad divisions of the suggestive meaning—It establishes that the meaning that satisfies the soul of the connoisseur is the soul of poetry and it is divided into two varieties viz., 峦ٳ and īⲹٳ. Vācyārtha is the primary meaning which is explicit in nature and īⲹٳ is the suggestive meaning. The īⲹٳ is influenced by the 峦ٳ and divided into three sub-varieties [e.g., ٰ]. These three varieties of īⲹٳ are accepted as the three varieties of Dhvani i.e., suggestive sense.
