Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Niravakāśa (निरवकाश).—Possessed of no scope of, or occasion for, application; the word अनवकाश (anavakāśa) is also used in this sense. The niravakasa rules always set aside the general rules which are always present wherever they i. e. the niravakasa rules are possible to be applied. Niravakasatva is looked upon as one of the two criteria for बाध (bādha) or sublation, the other one being सामान्यविशेषभाव (sāmānyaviśeṣabhāva) as illustrated by the usual maxim, known as तक्रकौण्डिन्यन्याय (takrakauṇḍinyanyāya). See तक्रकौण्डिन्यन्याय (takrakauṇḍinyanyāya); cf. also अनवकाशा हि विधयो बाधका भवन्ति (anavakāśā hi vidhayo bādhakā bhavanti) Par. Sek. on Pari. 64.

Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions

Niravakāśa (निरवकाश) refers to “that (rule) which is void of any occasion (for application)”, according to Tantrālokaviveka commentary on the Tantrāloka verses 4.230ab-232ab.—Accordingly, “[...] So, if you properly consider the procedure of invalidation, then (you will realize that) no injunction whatever loses reality. To explain: the rule that is the exception—by nature specific because it is (generally) void of any occasion (for application) (niravakāśa-tva)—supersedes the general rule, which, being one that always has met with its occasion (for application), is by nature generally applicable. This is what those who know language say:—[‘Moreover, purity and impurity, which are generally enjoined, are simply superseded when a man knows reality. This is how it has been explained here (in the Mālinīvijayottara)’]”.
