Visarjanīya (विसर्जनीय).—Same as विसर्ग (visarga) which see above; cf. विसृज्यते पुनर्वर्णैर्न संबध्यते इति विसर्गः (visṛjyate punarvarṇairna saṃbadhyate iti visargaḥ); Durgasiṃha on Kat. I. 1. 16. The term विसृष्ट (visṛṣṭa) is also used in the same sense. The visarjanīya has the same position (स्थान (sthāna)) in the mouth as the vowel after which it occurs. It is a glottal sound; the Ṛk-Prātiśākhya says that some scholars describe visarjanīya as a chest sound; cf. कण्ठयो-कारः प्रथमपञ्चमौ च द्वावूष्माणौ केचिदेतावुरस्यौ । (kaṇṭhayo-kāraḥ prathamapañcamau ca dvāvūṣmāṇau kecidetāvurasyau |) R. Pr. I 18; cf. also उरसि विसर्जनीयो वा (urasi visarjanīyo vā) R. T. 3.

Jain philosophy

Visarjanīya (विसर्जनीय) stands for what is ordinarily called ‘visarga’, as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 385, l. 13]—‘Visarjanīya’ as it is uniformly called by the Pratīśākhyas and by Pāṇini, stands for what is ordinarily called ‘visarga’. W. D. Whitney in his work A Sanskrit Grammar says on p 69 —“This appears to be merely a surd breathing, a final h sound (in the European sense of h), uttered in the articulating position of the preceding vowel”.
