Śabdaja (शब्दज) refers to “[sound] born of sound” one represents one of the three of Śabda (sound) according to Annaṃbhaṭṭa and the Nyāyabodhinī.—This division is done on the basis of how sound is produced. Hence, sound (śabda) can be: saṃyogaja (born of conjunction), vibhāgaja (born of disjunction), and śabdaja (born of sound). When there is a contact of the stick with the drum, the first kind of sound (saṃyogaja) is produced. When a bamboo is split, a sound is produced. This is vibhāgaja sound. The last variety is śabdaja which is found in all subsequent sounds.
