Abstract
Poetry is a combination of words and their meanings. The listeners of the language comprehend the meaning of the words uttered. This common meaning is generally the primary meaning of the words. But some more senses of the words have been explained well by Indian poetics. Such as the secondary meaning e.i. Lakṣaṇā and suggestive meaning e.i. Vyañjanā. According to some schools of Indian philosophy, there is no need of considering a separate Vyañjanā Vr̥tti. In this paper, an effort is made to examine the views of poetics and the Navya Nyāya school of philosophy in the context of Śabdavr̥tti. It will be a topic of interest to observe how Nyāya school handles those examples of suggestive power which are elaborated by poetics.
