In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Uccāraṇa (उच्चारण).—Pronunciation, enunciation (in the Śāstra). The phrase उच्चारण-सामर्थ्यात् (uccāraṇa-sāmarthyāt) is often found used in the Mahābhāṣya and elsewhere in connection with the words of Pāṇini, everyone of which is believed to , have a purpose or use in the Śāstra, which purpose, if not clearly manifest, is assigned to it on the strength (सामर्थ्य (sāmarthya)) of its utterance; cf. उच्चारणसामर्थ्यादत्र (uccāraṇasāmarthyādatra) (हिन्येः (hinyeḥ)) उत्वं न भविष्यति (utvaṃ na bhaviṣyati) M.Bh. on III.4.89 V.2; cf. also M.Bh. on IV.4.59, VI.4.163, VII.1.12,50, VII.2.84, In a few cases, a letter is found used by Pāṇini which cannot be assigned any purpose but which has been put there for facility of the use of other letters. Such letters are said to be उच्चारणार्थ (uccāraṇārtha); cf. जग्धिः । इकार उच्चारणार्थः। नानुबन्धः । (jagdhiḥ | ikāra uccāraṇārthaḥ| nānubandhaḥ |) Kāś. on II.4.36.च्लि लुडि (cli luḍi). । इकार उच्चार-णार्थः (| ikāra uccāra-ṇārthaḥ); चकारः स्वरार्थः । (cakāraḥ svarārthaḥ |) Kāś, on III.1. 43. The expressions मुखसुखार्थः (mukhasukhārthaḥ) and श्रवणार्थः (śravaṇārthaḥ) in the Mahābhāṣya mean the same as उच्चारणार्थः (uccāraṇārthaḥ).
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Uccāraṇa (उच्चारण) refers to the “recitation” (of a mantra), according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, “[...] Then, entreated with the song, Heruka has been aroused spontaneously. ‘oṃ,āh, the body, speech, and mind adamantine hūṃphaṭ hoh’—with recitation (uccāraṇa) of this mantra, [the practitioner] performs the instantaneous transformation: the hero of all (Heruka), with [his consort] Yoginī (Vajravārāhī), by nature, instantly emerge by means of the mantra. [...]”.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
