Vakrokti System

Vakrokti is a system of poetry where one word or one expression gives two meanings, and thus the sayer says it with some meaning. but the listener or reader uses its another meaning. Thus it may be called an Alankaar (Figure of Speech).

There are a few poets who have used this it in their poetry -

Kuntak - he has written Vakrokti Jeevitam,
Mayoor - Mayoor is another one, read the sample of his poetry here at Mayoor-2.
