2. Not loud or violent, soft, low (as sound).
3. (In Rhet.) Not feeding or assisting (the meaning), irrelevant (मुख्यानुपकारिन्), regarded as one of the arthadoṣas (faults of the sense or meaning); as in the instance given under S. D.576 विलोक्य वितते व्योम्नि विधुं मुञ्च रुषं प्रिये, the adjective वितत 'expanded', as applied, to the sky, does not in any way help the cessation of anger and is, therefore, irrelevant.
