Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Ekavākya (एकवाक्य).—An expression giving one idea, either a single or a composite one. A positive statement and its negation, so also, a general rule and its exception are looked upon as making a single sentence on account of their mutual expectancy even though they be sometimes detached from each other cf. विदेशस्थमपि सदेकवाक्यं भवति (videśasthamapi sadekavākyaṃ bhavati) M. Bh. on III.4.67; cf. also निषेधवाक्यानामपि निषेध्यविशेषाकाङ्क्षत्वाद्विध्येकवाक्यतयैव अन्वयः । तत्रैकवाक्यता पर्युदासन्यायेन । संज्ञाशास्त्रस्य तु कार्यकालपक्षे न पृथग्वाक्यार्थबोधः । (niṣedhavākyānāmapi niṣedhyaviśeṣākāṅkṣatvādvidhyekavākyatayaiva anvayaḥ | tatraikavākyatā paryudāsanyāyena | saṃjñāśāstrasya tu kāryakālapakṣe na pṛthagvākyārthabodhaḥ |) Par. Śek on Pari. 3. Such sentences are, in fact, two sentences, but, to avoid the fault of गौरव (gaurava), caused by वाक्यभेद (vākyabheda), grammarians hold them to be composite single sentences.
