JAGANNATHA PANDITA (1590-1670) was a poet and critic. He used both grammar and logic to interpret many points in poetics/ alamkaara saastra. He discusses the viewpoints of the vaiaakarana and Naiyaayika side by side. One of the verses given by him is as follows:-
“The Udayachala by way of holding the rising sun by its peak makes the householders understand that the noble persons should offer hospitality to others”
.
Cuudaamanipade dhatte yombare ravimagatam
Sataam kaaryaatitheyiiti bodhayan grhamedhinah
The question is how can an inanimate mountain be the agent of an action of making others something?
The author gives the reply by saying that the non-sentient may be the agent of a causative verb by the way of being favourable to the performance of an action by some other sentient agent.

In the context of Vyatireka Alamkara Jagannatha gives the following verse as an example:
Mahendratulyam kavayo bhavantam
Vadantu kim taan iha vaarayaamah
Bhavan sahasraih samupaasyamaanah
Katham samaanastridasaadhipena
The poets call the king , who is the addressee here, equal to Indra, but how the king who is worshipped by thousands be equal to the lord (adhipa) of tri dasa (i.e. the gods of only 30.
Indra is called Mr.Thirty (tri dasa) in the Vedas. The word Tridasa usually means Gods. Here it is intended to mean the number thirty. Jagannatha refers to Paninian rules regarding samasas to justify the interpretation.
