Dhvani as kavyasya atma
• In Todorov’s
views,
Anandavardhana
“was perhaps the
greatest of all
theorists of textual
symbolism”
![Page 7: Structure analysis of dhvani school by anandavardhana](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050904/547a32b9b4795977098b494f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Anandavardhana uses term dhvani to designate the universe of suggestion- kavyasya atma dhvani.

Dhvani denotes
• The sound structure of words (sabda)
• The semantic aspects of sabda, the vyanjakas or suggesters
• “the revealed or suggested meaning as such and the process of suggestion involved”

What is Dhvani?
• Dhvani theory is a theory of meaning, of symbolism, and this principle leads to the poetry of suggestion being accepted as the highest kind of poetry.

• Rgveda also makes a distinction between the literal meaning and inter significance- “He sees, but sees not… one hears, but hears not.”

Dhvani as a method
• Dhvani is the method, the means for achieving or evoking rasa, which is the effect of suggestion.

Views of opponents
• Dhvani is nonexistent.• Dhvani is a product of
inference and is to be included under laksana.
• dhvani is something beyond the realm of words.
• Mahimabhatta (vyaktiviveka) is the most well-known critic of this theory.

Intonation
• The intonation adds a layer of suggested meaning to the directly expressed meaning of an utterance.
