Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Vyanjana or suggested meaning is the soul of the writings. Thus the meaning of the words denoted by abhidha (verbal meaning), or hinted by lakshana (indicative meaning) or suggested by vyanjana (suggestive meaning) finally terminates into rasa (essence).
Detailed explanation-2: -The process of suggestion or vyanjana indicates the suggestion of the emotion through the primary meaning. We have a kind of dhvani known as vastu dhvani. When the suggested element is a fact (vastu), when an image is suggested it is known as alankara dhvani.
