4. Indian aesthetics is a unique philosophical and spiritual point of view on art, architecture and literature.(Niveditha) In Indian poetics, different theoreticians and schools differed as to what the soul or essence of poetry is. They have used the word ‘atman’ which stands for essence or life-spirit as opposed to physical body. ( Somnath) Introduction

6. Alankar refers to the use of literary devices or figures of speech in poetry, such as simile, metaphor, personification, and irony, among others. Dhvani refers to the power of suggestion or resonance that a poem can evoke in the mind of the reader or listener, often through the use of symbolism, metaphor, or other literary techniques. Vakrokti refers to the use of indirect or oblique expressions in poetry, often used to create a sense of mystery or complexity in the meaning of a poem. Gun/dosh refers to the positive and negative qualities of a work of poetry, including its strengths and weaknesses. This includes aspects such as the use of language, structure, style, and the effectiveness of the work in conveying its intended meaning. (Chat.GPT)

7. Auchitya refers to the idea of appropriateness or suitability in poetry. It encompasses the various considerations that a poet must take into account when creating a work of poetry, including the context, the intended audience, and the purpose of the work. Ras refers to the emotional or aesthetic experience that a reader or listener has when engaging with a work of art, particularly poetry. Riti refers to the style or mode of expression used in poetry, including the use of language, grammar, and syntax. Anumana , which refers to the process of inference or logical reasoning, is not traditionally considered as a part of Indian Poetics. Rather, it is a concept that is more closely associated with Indian philosophy and logic. (Chat.GPT)

8. About Vakrokti :- Vakrokti is remarkable school of poetics in Sanskrit. It is a theory of language of literature. It means oblique utterance or markedness of language. Kuntaka is the pioneer of this school who made Vakrokti a full-fledged theory of literariness. He defined Vakrokti as “both words and meanings marked by artistic turn of speech in his book, Vakrokti-Jivitam. Vakrokti means Vakra (oblique), Ukti (statement or utterance). But in fact it is a deviant or marked expression. It can also mean special denotation. (Somnath)

14. Conclusion According to Kuntaka, ‘Vakrokti’ is a striking mode of speech born out of poetic proficiency. This means that it is poetic element which poduces superworldy charm. Kuntaka said that the six kinds of “Vakroktis’ described above together individually create poetic brilliance. Vakrokti theory is a useful framework for stylistic analysis of literature. Kuntaka in fact incorporates ‘rasa’, ‘alamkara’, ‘riti and ‘guna’ theories into this theory of Vakrokti. What is called Dhwani by Anandvardhan is termed ‘Vakrokti’ by Kuntaka. He declares that Vakrokti’ is the soul (jivita) of poetry.(Somnath)
