Samprasāraṇa (सम्प्रसारण).—One of the technical terms which have been used in the uṇādi-sūtras;—Samprasāraṇa is the process of changing a semivowel into a simple vowel of the same ‘sthāna’ or place of utterance; the substitution of the vowels i, u, ṛ, and ḷ for the semi-vowels y, v, r, and l respectively. In about twelve uṇādi-sūtras the term reflects the same implications as it does in the Aṣṭādhyāyī.

Saṃprasāraṇa (संप्रसारण).—lit. extension; the process of changing a semi-vowel into a simple vowel of the same sthana or place of utterance; the substitution of the vowels इ, उ, ऋ (i, u, ) and लृ (lṛ) for the semi-vowels य्, व्, र् (y, v, r) and ल् (l) respectively; cf. इग्यणः संप्रसारणम् (igyaṇaḥ saṃprasāraṇam) P. 1.1.45. The term संप्रसारण (saṃprasāraṇa) is rendered as a 'resultant vowel' or as 'an emergent vowel'. The ancient term was प्रसारण (prasāraṇa) and possibly it referred to the extension of य् (y) and व् (v), into their constituent parts इ (i) +अ, उ (a, u)+अ (a) etc. the vowel अ (a) being of a weak grade but becoming strong after the merging of the subseguent vowel into it e.g. cf. सर्वत्र प्रसारणिभ्यो डः (sarvatra prasāraṇibhyo ḍaḥ) P. III. 2.8 Vart.1. For the words taking this samprasarana change, see P. VI. 1 .13 to 19. According to some grammarians the term संप्रसारण (saṃprasāraṇa) is applied to the substituted vowels while according to others the term refers to the operation of the substitution; cf. M. Bh. on P. I. 1.15. The substitution of the samprasarana vowel is to be given preference in the formation of a word; cf. संप्रसारणं तदाश्रयं च कार्यं बलवत् (saṃprasāraṇaṃ tadāśrayaṃ ca kāryaṃ balavat) Pari. Sek. Pari. 119.
