18 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA गङ्गातटे घोष इत्यादेः प्रयोगात् येषां न तथा प्रतिपत्तिः तेषां पावनत्वादीना धर्माणां तथाप्रतिपादनात्मनः प्रयोजनाच्च मुख्येन अमुख्योऽर्थो लक्ष्यते यत् स आरोपितः शब्दव्यापारः सान्तरार्थ- निष्ठो लक्षणा ॥ ९॥ ‘ gaṅgāyāṁ ghoṣaḥ ’ (used in the sense of ‘ the ranch in the Gaṅgā ’) the primary meaning of the term ‘ Gaṅgā ’ is the river itself, and this is incompatible as the location for the ranch ;—hence in both these cases ‘ the primary mean- ing is barred ’; and ‘ another ’ secondary meaning comes to be implied by the primary meaning in each of these two cases,—(a) the term ‘ kuśala ’, implying the sense of the ‘ expert ’, which is ‘ in affinity with ’ the primary sense of ‘ grass-chopping,’ in this that just as the ‘ expert in business is possessed of discrimination so is the grass- chopper also (who cuts what he needs and rejects what he does not need),—and (b) the term ‘ Gaṅgā ’ implying the sense of ‘ the bank,’ which is ‘ in affinity with ’ the primary sense of the ‘ river ’ in this that it is situated in close proximity ,—and while in (a), the case of the term ‘ kuśala ’, the said implication is based upon ‘ usage ’ (by which the term is generally used in the sense of ‘expert’), while in (b), in that of the term ‘ Gaṅgā,’ the said impli- cation proceeds on the basis of the ‘ purpose ’ of pointing out those properties of ‘ sanctity ’ and the rest which could not be expressed by the use of such expressions as ‘ gaṅgā- tate ghoṣaḥ ’ (‘ the ranch on the bank of the Gaṅgā ’); this function of indirect implication is ‘ imposed ’ upon the word, in the sense that it is not direct (from the word to the meaning), but indirect, through certain intervening factors (in the shape of the ‘ incompatibility of the primary meaning ’ and the rest mentioned in the text). 9.
