This document discusses literary terms and concepts from ancient Indian poetics. It covers alamkara, the earliest school of Indian poetics started by Bhamasha. Alamkara categorizes figures of speech into arthalankar related to meaning, shabdalankar related to sound, and other tropes like vakrokti, slesa, citra, anuprasa, yamaka, and vatava. The document also discusses auchitya or appropriateness in literature. It explains dhvani, the theory of suggested meaning, as conceived by Anandvardhan, which sees literature as conveying indirect meanings and integrates rasa theory with suggested meaning.
