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).
