Pūrvavipratiṣedha (पूर्वविप्रतिषेध).—Conflict of two rules where the preceding rule supersedes the latter rule, as the arrival at the correct form requires it. Generally the dictum is that a subsequent rule should supersede the preceding one; cf विप्रतिषेधे परं कार्यम् (vipratiṣedhe paraṃ kāryam) P. I. 4. 2; but sometimes the previous rule has to supersede the subsequent one in spite of the dictum विप्रतिषेधे परम् (vipratiṣedhe param). The author of the Mahabhasya has brought these cases of the पूर्वविप्रतिषेध (pūrvavipratiṣedha), which are, in fact, numerous, under the rule विप्रतिषेधे परं कार्यम् (vipratiṣedhe paraṃ kāryam) by taking the word पर (para) in the sense of इष्ट (iṣṭa) 'what is desired '?; cf. इष्टवाची परशब्दः । विप्रतिषेधे परं यदिष्टं तद्भवतीति (iṣṭavācī paraśabdaḥ | vipratiṣedhe paraṃ yadiṣṭaṃ tadbhavatīti) l M. Bh. on I. 1.3; I.2, 5: I. 4.2: II.1.69, IV.1.85etc. cf.also पूर्वविप्रतिषेधो नाम अयं र्विप्रतिषेधे परमित्यत्र परशब्दस्य इष्टवाचित्वाल्लब्धः सूत्रार्थः परिभाषारुपेण पाठ्यते (pūrvavipratiṣedho nāma ayaṃ rvipratiṣedhe paramityatra paraśabdasya iṣṭavācitvāllabdhaḥ sūtrārthaḥ paribhāṣārupeṇa pāṭhyate) Puru. Pari 108; for details see page 217 Vol. VII Mahabhasya D. E. Society's edition.

context information

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.
