Aprāptavibhāṣā (अप्राप्तविभाषा):—[tatpurusha compound] f.

(-ṣā) (In Grammar, esp. in the com-mentaries on Pāṇini.) An option, enjoined by a rule, if the latter does not refer to, and therefore is not a restriction of, another, previous or subsequent, rule; it is distinct therefore from the prāptavibhāṣā or the option enjoined by a rule which is a restriction of another rule, and the ubhayatravibhāṣā or the option enjoined by a rule some portion of which is and some portion of which is not a restriction of another rule. It follows from this distinction that in Pāṇini's definition of vibhāṣā (I. 1. 44. ‘na veti vibhāṣā’) both terms na and vā apply simultaneously only to the prāptavibhāṣā and ubhayatravibhāṣā and even more properly to the latter alone, while only vā can be predicated of the aprāptavibhāṣā, its purport not being negative with regard to another rule but purely optional in itself; Patanjali: tatra yā tāvadaprāpte vibhāṣā tatra pratiṣedhyaṃ nāstīti kṛtvā vetyanena vikalpo bhaviṣyati . yā hi prāpte vibhāṣā tatrobhayamupasthitaṃ bhavati . neti ca veti ca . tatra netyanena pratiṣiddhe vetyanena vikalpo bhaviṣyati ..…ubhayatravibhāṣārthā ceyaṃ saṃjñā . prāptavibhāṣāyāmaprāptavibhāṣāyāṃ ca saṃjñākaraṇasyānupayogāt . tathā hi . prāptavibhāṣāsu pakṣe nivṛttiḥ kriyate pakṣe tu pravṛttiḥ sthitaiva . aprāptavibhāṣāsu ca pakṣe kāryasya pravṛttiḥ kriyate pakṣāntare tvapravṛttiḥ sthitaiveti nāsti tatra saṃjñāphalam &c.… (Nagojibh.: evaṃ ca kevalaprāptavibhāṣāyāmubhayatravibhāṣāyāṃ ca krameṇa niṣedhavikalpayorupasthitiḥ . śuddhāprāptavibhāṣāyāṃ tu niṣedhasyānvayāyogyatvācchuddhavikalpopasthitiriti tātparyam &c. &c.) Such aprāptavibhāṣā are in Pāṇini, e. g. in the Sūtras: I. 1. 32, 2. 3, 2. 16, 3. 43; Ii. 4. 12; Iii. 1. 38, 1. 61, 3. 188, 4. 24; Vi. 1. 208(?), 2. 161, 3. 59, 3. 72, 3. 106; Vii. 3. 9, 4. 81; Viii. 1. 26, 2. 21; when in consequence of such an interpretation of the option, the Sūtra I. 2. 16 e. g. becomes disconnected from I. 2. 15, Ii. 4. 12 from Ii. 4. 6, Iii. 1. 61 from Iii. 1. 66, Iii. 4. 24 from Iii. 4. 22 &c. &c.—Compare also prāptavibhāṣā, ubhayatravibhāṣā and vyavasthitavibhāṣā. E. aprāpta (in the sense of a locative) and vibhāṣā.

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.
