with the statement or the word,as a natural course, when the purpose is not served by taking the generic sense; cf. अाकृत्यभिधानाद्वा एकं शब्दं विभक्तौ वाजप्यायन अाचार्यो न्याय्यं मन्यते M. Bh. on P. I.2.64 Vart. 35. वाजसनेयेिप्रातिशाख्य the Pratisakhya work belonging to the Vajasaneyi branch of the White Yajurveda, which is the only Pratisakhya existing to-day representing all the branches of the Sukla Yajur- veda. Its authorship is attri- buted to Katyayana, and on account of its striking resem- blance with Panini's sutras at vari- ous places, its author Katyayana is likely to be the same as the Varttikakara Katyayana. It is quite reasonable to expect that the subject matter in this Pratisakhya is based on that in the ancient Prtisakhya works of the same White school of the Yajurveda.The work has a lucid commentary called Bhasya written by Uvvata. वाडव possibly the same as Kunara- vadava; an ancient grammarian quoted in the Mahabhasya; cf. तत्र सौर्थभगवतोक्तमनिष्टिज्ञो वाडवः पठति, M. Bh. on P. VIII. 2. 106 Vart 3. वाणी speech; utterance; the same as वाच् which is believed to be of four kinds as cited by the grammarians and explained by Bhartrhari; the four kinds are based upon the four places of origin, the three first places belonging to the in- articulate speech and the fourth belonging to the articulate one; cf. चत्वारि वाक्परिमिता पदानि तानि विदुर्ब्राह्मणा य मनीषिणः । गुहा त्रीणि निहिता नेङ्गयन्तिं तुरीयं वाचेी मनुष्या वदन्ति, M. Bh. I Ahnika 1 and the Pradipa and Uddyota thereon. वात्सप्र an ancient writer of Pratisa- |
khya works who believed in the very feeble utterance ( लघुप्रयत्नतर ) of the consonants य and व, when preceded by अ and standing at the end of a word. See लघुप्रयत्न. वादनक्षत्रमाला a work on grammatical debates etc. by Appaya Diksita, a well-known scholar and a senior contemporary of Jagannatha in the seventeenth century. वादि roots headed by वा and similar to वा. Really there is no class of roots headed by वा given anywhere but in the interpretation of the rule भूवादयो धातवः it is suggested that ' the roots which are similar to वा are termed roots (धातु)' could also be the interpretation of the rule; cf. भ्वादय इति च वादय इति M.Bh. on P. I. 3. l . Vart. 11. वादिघटमुद्गर name of a commentary on the Sarasvata Vykarana by a grammarian Jayanta. वान the suffix वन् mentior:ed as वान् in the Atharvapratisakhya and illustrated in the word ऋतावानं; cf. A. Pr. III. 24. वामन name of one of the joint authors of the well-known gloss or वृत्ति upon the Sutras of Panini, who lived in the seventh century A. D. It cannot be ascertained which portion of the Kasika was written by Vamana and which by his colleague जयादित्य. There was ano- ther famous scholar of Kashmir by name Vamana who flourished in the tenth century and who wrote an independent grammar treatise विश्रान्तविद्याधर, together with उणादि- सूत्रवृत्ति and लिङ्गानुशासन. वायु air or प्राण, which is believed to spring up from the root of the navel and become a cause (even a material cause according to some scholars) of sound of four kinds |
