 “Indirect indication” does a lot of work for referentialism, since there are many, many examples where no direct referent is meant but a hearer comprehends a statement and acquires testimonial knowledge. And although Gaṅgeśa resists overemployment of the notion, he uses it extensively. Further examples concern the meaning of certain Sanskrit compounds and grammatical number, when, for instance, a plural form is used while what is meant is a single something or other.
