Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Svaritapratijñā (स्वरितप्रतिज्ञा).—The conventional dictum that a particular rule or part of a rule, is marked with the accent स्वरित (svarita) which enables the grammarians to decide that that rule or that part of a rule is to occur in each of the subsequent Sutras, the limit of continuation being ascertained from convention. It is possible that Panini in his original recital of the Astadhyayi recited the words in the rules with the necessary accents; probably he recited every word, which was not to proceed further, with one acute or with one circumflex vowel, while, the words which were to proceed to the next rule or rules, were marked with an actual circumflex accent (स्वरित (svarita)), or with a neutralization of the acute and the grave accents (स्वरितत्व (svaritatva)), that is, probably without accents or by एकश्रुति (ekaśruti) or by प्रचय (pracaya); cf स्वरितेनाधिकारः (svaritenādhikāraḥ) P. I.3.II and the Mahabhasya thereon.
