When a shastra concept is such that it cannot be explained clearly with the help of one's treatise, or another author's treatise belonging to the same branch of learning, then the explanation is attempted using the concepts presented in a different discipline. Poetics are abundant with examples of such type of compositions.

हेतुहेतुकधर्मः ॥ hetuhetukadharmaḥ

Hetu means a major or potential cause; Hetuka means a minor or incidental cause. To make an inference of the dharma or the common property after reading or hearing both the Hetu and hetuka is called the Hetuhetukadharma Ashraya. It is to be kept in mind that Hetu unfailingly brings about the effect. This concept support system helps the reader draw a line of demarcation between the major and minor causes of an effect and thus finds place as an important  consideration in building the methodology of a text.

To speak of an effect as a cause and a cause as an effect in a secondary sense is called Karyakarana Dharma. Kshemendra affirms that Auchitya, propriety, is the property or cause that brings poetry to life (effect). Vakrokti, an elegant turn of expression, is a means to achieve poetic beauty. There is a cause and effect relationship between the Vakrokti and Charuta. Alamkara shastra abounds with many such examples.

Tatchilya is an informal use of a word in a scientific composition. Arunadatta describes 17 kinds of Tatchilyas
+
Tatchilya is an informal use of a word in a scientific or poetic composition. In common language, people normally use words with extending, stretching or even twisted meanings, implying them to describe other situations, actions than they were originally meant for. This is the metaphorical process and in essence means transfer of meaning of a word to an entirely different context or situation. For example : we say 'In the eyes of law she was guilty and punished', here we mean in the 'view of law', since law, an inanimate thing cannot have eyes, and its action of viewing is extended to law. But such usages are very common and many times are used to enhance poetic beauty.
