संयोगो विप्रयोगश् च साहचर्यं विरोधिता |
अर्थः प्रकरणं लिङ्गं शब्दस्यान्यस्य सन्निधिः ||
सामर्थ्यम् अउचिती देशः कालो व्यक्तिः स्वरादयः |
शब्दार्थस्यानवच्छेदे विशेष-स्मृति-हेतवः ||
saṃyogo viprayogaś ca sāhacaryaṃ virodhitā |
arthaḥ prakaraṇaṃ liṅgaṃ śabdasyānyasya sannidhiḥ ||
sāmarthyam aucitī deśaḥ kālo vyaktiḥ svarādayaḥ |
śabdārthasyānavacchede viśeṣa-smṛti-hetavaḥ ||
These are the causes of remembering the particularity of the meaning of a word when the sense is not determined: saṃyoga (possession), viprayoga (disjunction), sāhacarya (accompaniment), virodhitā (being in opposition), artha (purpose), prakaraṇa (context), liṅga (characteristic), śabdasya anyasya sannidhi (the proximity of another word), sāmarthya (ability), aucitī (congruity), deśa (place), kāla (time), vyakti (gender), svara (Vedic accent), and so on. (Vākya-padīya 2.315-316)
sannidhir aikarthyam, aucitī yogyatā, vyaktiḥ puṃ-napuṃsakādiḥ, anavacchede saṃśaye.
