Abstract

The paper deals with the categorical concept of dhvani as one of the most important in the classical Indian poetics and important for the modern understanding of the problem of subtext as an origin of artistry. On the material of the tractate «Dhvanyāloka» by Ānandavardhana the nature of dhvani, poetic statements in which the true meaning is implicit, hidden, has been studied in detail. The research of subtext from the perspective of dhvani allows clarifying and supplementing the separate theoretical aspects that are topical in the literary studies.
