Verse 35

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥

In plain words

The mode called jahad-ajahatī — letting go and holding on at once — works like this: it drops one part of what the words literally say and lets the other part carry the meaning. Think of saying, "This is that same brahmin." Use this mode here.

Close to the Sanskrit

That would be [called] 'abandoning-and-not-abandoning' which, having discarded one portion of the expressed meaning, conveys the [other] one portion — as in 'this is that brahmin'; one should resort to this.
