In Hinduism

Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Uccarita (उच्चरित).—Pronounced or uttered; the phrase उच्चरितप्रध्वंसिनः (uccaritapradhvaṃsinaḥ) is used in connection with the mute indicatory letters termed इत् (it) in Pāṇini's grammar, as these letters are not actually found in use in the language and are therefore supposed to vanish immediately after their purpose has been served. The phrase 'उच्चरितप्रध्वंसिनो (uccaritapradhvaṃsino)Sनुबन्धाः (nubandhāḥ)' has been given as a Paribhāṣā by Vyāḍi (Pari.11), in the Cāndra Vyākaraṇa (Par. 14), in the Kātantra Vyākaraṇa (Pari.54) and also in the Kalāpa Vyākaraṇa (Par. 71). Patañjali has used the expression उच्चरितप्रध्वंसिनः (uccaritapradhvaṃsinaḥ) in connection with ordinary letters of a word, which have existence for a moment and which also vanish immediately after they have been uttered; cf. उच्चरितप्रध्वंसिनः खल्वपि वर्णाः (uccaritapradhvaṃsinaḥ khalvapi varṇāḥ) ...न वर्णो वर्णस्य सहायः (na varṇo varṇasya sahāyaḥ) M. Bh. on I.4. 109.
