9 (नं ना) (Rhet.) A suggested meaning
also the process by which such meaning is suggested. It is the power of suggestion (founded on अभिधा or लक्षणा denotation or indication), by which something else is understood from a word which, though having more meanings than one, has been restricted to a single meaning by relations of conjunction, disjunction &c. (संयोग, विप्रयोग, साहचर्य, विरोधिता &c.), or, briefly, the use of a word of several meanings in a special sense determined by the context
e. g. सशंखचक्रो हरिः the adjective restricts Hari to mean ‘Vishṇu’ alone, and not ‘a lion’ or ‘monkey’
so रामलक्ष्मणौ दाशरथी, रामार्जुनौ भार्गवकार्तवीर्यौ &c.
cf. अनेकार्थस्य शब्दस्य वाचकत्वे नियंत्रिते । संयोगाद्यैरवाच्यार्थधीकृद्व्यापृतिरंजनं ॥ K. P. 2., S. D. 23-6
