Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Tāthābhāvya (ताथाभाव्य).—Name given to the grave (अनुदात्त (anudātta)) vowel which is अवग्रह (avagraha) i.e. which occurs at the end of the first member of a compound and which is placed between two acute vowels i.e. is preceded by and followed by an acute vowel; e.g. तनू (tanū)Sनप्त्रे, तनू (naptre, tanū)Sनपत्ः (napatḥ) cf. उदाद्यन्तो न्यवग्र-हस्ताथाभाव्यः । (udādyanto nyavagra-hastāthābhāvyaḥ |) V.Pr.I.120. The tathabhavya vowel is recited as a kampa (कम्प (kampa)) ; cf. तथा चोक्तमौ-ज्जिहायनकैर्माध्यन्दिनमतानुसारिभिः- (tathā coktamau-jjihāyanakairmādhyandinamatānusāribhiḥ-)'अवग्रहो यदा नीच उच्चयोर्मध्यतः क्वचित् । ताथाभाव्यो भवेत्कम्पस्तनूनप्त्रे निदर्शनम् (avagraho yadā nīca uccayormadhyataḥ kvacit | tāthābhāvyo bhavetkampastanūnaptre nidarśanam)'. Some Vedic scholars hold the view that the ताथाभाव्य (tāthābhāvya) vowel is not a grave (अनुदात्त (anudātta)) vowel, but it is a kind of स्वरित (svarita) or circumflex vowel. Strictly according to Panini "an anudatta following upon an udatta becomes Svarita": cf. P.VIII.4.66, V.Pr. IV. 1.138: cf also R.Pr.III. 16.

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.
