THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
[NOVEMBER, 1894.
Here the lady ineans to hint that he has been spending the night with some other charmer, and that he must be weary, and will be rested by the shampooing.)
Text.
Vyajoktyalankara. Vyaja-ukti kachhu aura vidhi
kahai durai úkára Sakhi, suka kínhyau karma yaha dantani jáni andra |

Translation.
The Dissembler. [Sahitya-darpana, 749.)
When a person conceals (the true cause of) a fact which is apparent, by explaining it in some other way, it is the Dissembler (vyújók/1); as for example: -
My dear, it was a parrot which did this deed, mistaking my teeth for pomegranate seeds.'
[Here the Heroine dissembles and conceals the true reason of the wounds upon her lips, -- caused by the amorous kisses of her beloved.)
Text.
Gadhoktyalankara. Gadha ukti nisu aura ke
kijai" para upadésa! Kálhi, sakhi, haw júugi
prijanu déva mahesa # 184 11
Translation.
The Hidden Speech. [Not in Sahilya-darpana.]
It is the ornament of Hidden Speech (giahõleti), when under pretence of saying something else, a person suggests (to a third) a course of conduct; as for example: -
• Tomorrow, my dear, I shall go to worship (at the temple of) Mahesa.'
[Here the heroine indicates to her lover who is standing by and hears her talking to her friend, that the next place of assignation will be the temple of Mahesa.)
The Lila-chandrika (317) contraste the gudhokti, with another figure which it calls anyokti, or Other Speech, and defines them thus :
Gúdhokti, aur k mis aur kami upadés anyókti, aur ki bat aur par kahai #
Hidden speech is wlien under pretence of (addressing) one person, instruction is given to another. It is Other Speech, when a person attributes a characteristic of one thing or person to another. Bihari lal iu his Sat'sai (317) gives an example of both these figures: - Rahyau môha milanau rahyau
yau kuhi gahai maróra Uta dai sokhihi uráharau
ita chitai mô ổra II 184a || The speaker is the hero,-.Wrathfully said she (as she spoke) in that direction and abused her friond," you have been entangled in love, you have had a meeting with a lover," and then she looked towards me.'
Here it is Hidden Speech, for under pretence of abusing her friend she abused the hero. and it is also Other Speech, for the conduct alleged as that of the friend is really meant to be attributed to the hero.]
