Dhvani
Dhvani-
The Indian theory of sound.
Poetry
in which the uttered words and the meanings keep a lower profile than the
indicated meaning, such poetry is called Dhvani. Sphota: The words and sounds
that reach the ears are temporary and thereafter, cannot lead to meaning. Each
word is a combination of several Varna and each word has a fine facsimile.
Although the sound waves disappear, this facsimile remains leaving a unified
imprint on the mind.
The
fine and the permanent sound imprint is called Sphota in Indian grammar. The
consonant Varna bby which the Sphota is uttered are called Dhvani. Thus it is
that from the temporary Vaarnas the permanent Sphota words emerge. Similarly
from the temporary words emerges permanent meanings.
