Pratisedha
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
Pratisedha literally means ‘prohibition’.
Pratisedha is the synonym of the word ‘niṣedha’ used in the Purvamīmāmsā works. In Sanskrit literature, the word is used to indicate a kind of alaṅkāra[1] wherein the sentence gives a meaning entirely different from its direct sense.
