Source: DDSA: The practical Sanskrit-English dictionaryBarhinyāya (बर्हिन्याय).—a rule of interpretation according to which an expression must be understood in its primary sense rathar than in its secondary sense. This is discussed and established by Jaimini and Śabara at MS.3.2.1 and 2.
Derivable forms: barhinyāyaḥ (बर्हिन्यायः).
Barhinyāya is a Sanskrit compound consisting of the terms barhi and nyāya (न्याय).
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.
