Dyotaka (द्योतक).—Indicative, suggestive; not directly capable of expressing the sense by denotation; the nipatas and upasargas are said to be 'dyotaka' and not 'vacaka' by standard grammarians headed by the Varttikakara; cf. निपातस्यानर्थकस्यापि प्रातिपदिकत्वम् (nipātasyānarthakasyāpi prātipadikatvam) P.I.2.45 Varttika 12; cf. Kaiyata also on the above; cf also निपाता द्योतकाः केचित्पृथगर्थाभिधायिनः (nipātā dyotakāḥ kecitpṛthagarthābhidhāyinaḥ) Vakyapadiya II.194;, गतिवाचकत्वमपि तस्य (gativācakatvamapi tasya) (स्थाधातोः (sthādhātoḥ)) व्यवस्थाप्यते, उपसर्गस्तु तद्यो-तक एव (vyavasthāpyate, upasargastu tadyo-taka eva) com. on Vakyapadiya II. 190; cf. पश्चाच्छ्रोतुर्बोधाय द्योतकोपसर्गसंबन्धः (paścācchroturbodhāya dyotakopasargasaṃbandhaḥ) Par. Sek. on Pari. 50; cf also इह स्वरादयो वाचकाः चादयो द्योतका इति भेदः (iha svarādayo vācakāḥ cādayo dyotakā iti bhedaḥ) Bhasa Vr. om P.I.1.37.The Karmapravacaniyas are definitely laid down as dyotaka, cf. क्रियाया द्योतको नायं न संबन्धस्य वाचकः । नापि क्रियापदाक्षेपीं संबन्धस्य तु भेदकः (kriyāyā dyotako nāyaṃ na saṃbandhasya vācakaḥ | nāpi kriyāpadākṣepīṃ saṃbandhasya tu bhedakaḥ) Vakyapadiya II.206; the case affixes are said to be any way, 'vacaka' or 'dyotaka'; cf. वाचिका द्योतिका वा स्युर्द्वित्त्वादीनां विभक्तयः (vācikā dyotikā vā syurdvittvādīnāṃ vibhaktayaḥ) Vakyapadiya II. 165.
