असत्योपाधि यत्सत्यं तद्वा शब्दनिबन्धनम् ।
शब्दो वाऽप्यभिजल्पत्वमागतो याति वाच्यताम् ॥ ८८९ ॥

asatyopādhi yatsatyaṃ tadvā śabdanibandhanam |
śabdo vā’pyabhijalpatvamāgato yāti vācyatām || 889 ||

(c) or the real with unreal adjuncts is the ‘import of words’.—(d) Or ‘import of words’ may consist in the word itself in the state of ‘abhijalpa’ (coalescence).—(889)

Kamalaśīla

Others have declared that the Real with Unreal adjuncts is what is denoted by words, For instance, the adjuncts, in the shape of such details as bracelets, rings and such things, are ‘unreal’ so far as the denotation of the word is concerned; and yet these adjuncts belong to something that is ‘real’—in the shape of the Gold which has a generic form and permeates through a number of particular things. This ‘Real with Unreal adjuncts’ forms the Import of Words,—i.e. is what forms the denotation of the word.

Others again declare that it is the word itself in the state of ‘Coalescence’ that constitutes the Import of Words.—(889)
