Arthavadgrahaṇaparibhāṣā (अर्थवद्ग्रहणपरिभाषा).—A well known maxim or Paribha of grammarians fully stated as अर्थवद्ग्रहणे नानर्थ-कस्य ग्रहणम् (arthavadgrahaṇe nānartha-kasya grahaṇam), deduced from the phrase अर्थवद्ग्रहणात् (arthavadgrahaṇāt) frequently used by the Vārttikakāra. The Paribhāṣā lays down that 'when a combination of letters employed in Grammar, is possessed of a sense, it has to be taken as possessed of sense and not such an one as is devoid of sense.'
