In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarVarṇārthavattva (वर्णार्थवत्त्व).—The theory or view that individual letters are severally possessed of different senses. For instance, the difference in the meanings of the words कूप, यूप (kūpa, yūpa), and सृप (sṛpa) is due to the difference in their initial letter. The theory is not acceptable to the Vaiyakaranas nor the theory वर्णानर्थ-वत्व (varṇānartha-vatva) given above. They follow the theory of संघातार्थवत्त्व (saṃghātārthavattva) i. e. sense given by a group of words together. See M.Bh on Siva Sutra 5, Varttikas 9 to 15.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas.
