If contextual saturation can adjust the primary meaning of 'Ganges' to denote a riverbank, the Mīmāṃsaka positing of a distinct secondary meaning (lakṣaṇā) is ontologically redundant.

Mīmāṃsaka(as the source of the objection being discussed): A follower of Mīmāṃsā, an ancient Indian school of philosophy that focused on interpreting religious texts and determining what counts as reliable knowledge.
Secondary meaning (lakṣaṇā)(as used in Indian philosophy and semantics): A figurative or indirect meaning of a word that emerges when the primary meaning doesn't quite fit the situation—like calling a brave person a 'lion.'
contextual saturation(as used in philosophy of language): When the specific situation or surrounding words around a term make its meaning so precise that substituting similar words changes the intended meaning.
ontologically redundant(as used in metaphysics): Unnecessary to actually exist or be real—you don't need it to explain how things actually work.
