Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Sthānivadbhāva (स्थानिवद्भाव).—Behaviour of the substitute like the original in respect of holding the qualities of the original and causing grammatical operations by virtue of those qualities. By means of स्थानिवद्भाव (sthānivadbhāva),the substitute for a root is,for instance, looked upon as a root; similarly, a noun-base or an affix or so, is looked upon like the original and it can cause such operations or be a recipient of such operations as are due to its being a root or a noun or an affix or the like. This स्यानिवद्भाव (syānivadbhāva) cannot be, and is not made also, a universally applicable feature; and there are limitations or restrictions put upon it, the chief of them being अल्विधौ (alvidhau) or in the matter of such operations as are caused by the 'property of being a single letter' (अल्विधौ (alvidhau)). There are two views regarding this 'behaviour like the original' :(1) supposed behaviour which is only instrumental in causing operations or undergoing them which is called शास्त्रातिदेश (śāstrātideśa) and (2) actual restoration to the form of the original under certain conditions only as prescribed which is called रूपातिदेश (rūpātideśa). The रूपातिदेश (rūpātideśa) is actually resorted to by some grammarians in the case of the reduplication of roots; cf. Kas. on द्विवेचनेचि (dvivecaneci) P.I.1.59 and M.Bh. on P.I.1.59.See the word रूपातिदेश (rūpātideśa) also. For details see Vol. VII p.p. 241-243, Vyākarana 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.
