Anandavardhana
Ānandavardhana (c. 820–890 CE) was the author of ''Dhvanyāloka'', or ''A Light on Suggestion'' (''dhvani''), a work articulating the philosophy of "aesthetic suggestion" (''dhvani'', ''vyañjanā''). The philosopher Abhinavagupta (c. 950 – 1016 CE) wrote an important commentary on it, the ''Locana'', or ''The Eye''. Ānandavardhana is credited with creating the ''dhvani'' theory. He wrote that ''dhvani'' (meaning sound, or resonance) is the "soul" or "essence" (''ātman'') of poetry (''kavya'')."

To understand the poetry, the reader or hearer must be on the same "wavelength In physics, the wavelength is the spatial period of a periodic wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats. It is the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same phase on the wave, such as two adjacent crests, t ...." The method requires sensitivity on the parts of the writer and ...
