	abstract = {Why was Dandin{\textquoteright}s Mirror of Literature (K{\={a}}vy{\={a}}dar{\'s}a), a text that swept much of Asia and inspired so many translations, adaptations, commentaries, and literary responses in a variety of languages, so successful? This paper highlights some of the Mirror{\textquoteright}s key innovative agendas by examining one small section of the work, the passage defining and exemplifying the ornament "condensed speech" (sam{\={a}}sokti). More specifically, the paper examines Dandin{\textquoteright}s dramatic redefinition of this device in comparison to what we find in the work of his most important predecessors, Bh{\={a}}maha and Bhatti. Dandin expanded this ornament to include various types of insinuation, thus making it a powerful suggestive device, not unlike the aesthetic-semantic force that Anandavardhana later called dhvani. Dandin, moreover, used the subcategories of condensed speech to showcase his new pedagogy and playfully to illustrate the complex metatropic effects of poetry: its ability to play with the precedents of earlier poets and with the underlying poetic convention.},
