 About the principles of transference, he has little to say other than to point to “relevant context” and “being set in mind quickly.” Indirect indication is preceded by comprehension of conventional meaning and is directed toward something that is related to the conventional meaning. But some cases, “frozen metaphors,” are reconventionalizations where the primary, original meaning has been forgotten. A “windfall” seems to be a good example in modern English. There is a long and intricate discussion of this. Can we refer to a water-lily by using the word ‘mud-born’? No, says Gaṅgeśa. The word has been reconventionalized to mean in a primary way only lotuses and if used for a water-lily we would have a case of lakṣaṇā.
