Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Abhivyādāna (अभिव्यादान).—Absorption of a vowel when two long vowels of the same kind come together e.g. ता आपः (tā āpaḥ) = तापः, अवसा आ (tāpaḥ, avasā ā) = अवसा (avasā), the resultant vowel being pronounced specially long consisting of some more mātrā, which is evidently, a fault of pronunciation. cf. आदानं आरम्भः (ādānaṃ ārambhaḥ); विपुलं विशालं वा आदानं व्यादानम् । अभिव्याप्तं अभिभूतं व्यादानं अभिव्यादानम् (vipulaṃ viśālaṃ vā ādānaṃ vyādānam | abhivyāptaṃ abhibhūtaṃ vyādānaṃ abhivyādānam) Uvvata on R. Pr. XIV. 27.

Abhivyādāna (अभिव्यादान):—[bahuvrihi compound] n.

(-nam) (In vaidik Grammar.) A sup-pressed sound; viz. such a long vowel ā, separated from a preceding ā by a hiatus, as becomes wrongly absorbed by the protracting beyond the legitimate measure of such a preceding ā; as if in the pronunciation of tā āpaḥ, avasā ā, yā āpaḥ, tā ā (in verses of the Ṛgveda), the speaker commits the fault of allowing the final ā of tā, avasā, yā to absorb, by unduly protracting it, the beginning ā of āpaḥ and ā. [In the Ṛk-Prātiś.-Sūtra abhivyādānaṃ ca vivṛttipūrve kaṇṭhye tā āpovasā eti dīrghe it would seem more natural to look upon abhivyādāna as a [tatpurusha compound] and render it ‘absorption’; but as vyādāna means ‘enouncing, pronouncing’ and as a negative value of abhi is but seldom admissible in a [tatpurusha compound], it appears better to adopt Uvaṭa's comment which represents the word as a [bahuvrihi compound] and supplies akṣara, viz.: ādānamārambhaḥ . vividhaṃ vipulaṃ viśālaṃ vādānamathavādānameva vyādānam . kenacidabhivyāptamabhibhūtaṃ vā vyādānaṃ tasya tadidamabhivyādānaṃ bhavatyakṣaram; and since the condition of this defect of pronunciation is the meeting of two ā, there seems equally no choice left but to adopt the elliptical interpretation of this comm., as regards vivṛttipūrve kaṇṭhye dīrghe, which words he renders as neuters in the dual accus., for in giving them the apparently more natural value of a locat. sing. the rule would not necessarily imply the meeting of two long vowels ā.] E. abhi and vyādāna, scil. akṣara.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
