by stage; e. g. in arriving at the form स्नौघ्नी the wording स्नौघ्न + अ +ई is to be considered as it stands and not स्नौघ्न + अ = स्नौघ्न and then स्नौघ्न +ई. The विभज्यान्वाख्यानपक्ष in connection with the formation of a word corresponds to the पद- संस्कारपक्ष in connection with the formation of a sentence.

विभाग (1) lit, division, splitting; the splitting of a sentence into its con- stituent parts viz. the words; , the splitting of a word into its con- stituent parts viz. the base, the affix, the augments and the like; (2) understanding or taking a thing separately from a group of two or more; cf.अवश्यं खल्वपि विभज्यो- पपदग्रहणं कर्तव्यं यो हि बहूनां विभागस्तदर्थम् ! सांकाश्यकेभ्यश्च पाटलिपुत्रकेभ्यश्च माथुरा अभि- रूपतराः, M. Bh. on P.V.3.57; (3) splitting of a Saṁhitā text of the Vedas into the Pada text; cf. अथादावुत्तरे विभागे ह्रस्वं व्यञ्जनपरः T. Pr. III.1, where विभाग is explained as पदविभाग by the commentator cf. also R.Pr.XVII.15; (4) the capa- city of the Kārakas (to show the sense); cf. कारकशक्तिः विभागः Nyāsa on Kāś.I.2.44.

विभाषा optionally, alternatively; the word is explained by Pāṇini as नवा in the rule न वेति विभाषा (P.I.1.44)in consonance with its derivation from the root भाष् with वि; cf. नेति प्रतिषेधे वेति विकल्पस्तयोः प्रतिषेधविकल्पयो- र्विभाषेत्ति संज्ञा भवति । विभाषाप्रदेशेषु प्रतिषेधवि- कल्पावुपतिष्ठते । तत्र प्रतिषेधेन समीकृते विषये प्रश्चाद्विकल्पः प्रवर्तते. The option (विभाषा) is further divided into three kind प्राप्ते विभाषा, अप्राप्ते विभाषा and उभयत्र विभाषा. For details see Mahābhāṣya on P. I.1.44.

विभाषित (1) stated or enjoined optio- nally; cf मेध्यः पशुर्विभाषितः । आलब्धव्यो नालब्धव्य इति M. Bh. on P. I.1.44 Vārt. 15; cf also मन्ये धातुर्विभाषितः ।

विमलकीर्ति a Jain grammarian of the sixteenth century who wrote a short metrical work on the padas of roots, known by the name पदव्यवस्थासूत्रकारिका.

विमलमति an old grammarian who is believed to have written a gloss named भागवृत्ति on Pāṇini's Sūtras to which the grammarians Purusottamadeva, Sīradeva and others of the twelfth century refer. Some scholars say that भागवृत्ति was written by भर्तृहरि; but it is not feasible, as there is a reference to Māghakāvya in भागवृत्ति. In books on grammar,. especially of the Eastern School in the 11th and the 12th century, there are several quotations from the Bhāgavṛtti. See भागवृत्ति.

विमलसरस्वती a grammarian who wrote a small grammar work named रूपमाला.

विमुक्तादि a class of words headed by the word विमुक्त to which the tadd- hita affix अ (अण्) is added in the sense of 'possessed of', provided the word so formed, denotes a chapter or a lesson of a sacred work; cf.विमुक्तशब्दोस्मिन्नस्ति वैमुक्तकोध्यायः अनुवाको वा । दैवासुरः । Kāś. on P. V. 2.61.

विमोक्ष liberation of the last letter (especially a class consonant) of a word from phonetic modifications by coalescence with the initial letter of the following word, or liberation of modification of a consonant or vowel standing at the end of a verse or sometimes even in the middle of a verse; e.g. तत् नो मित्रः, सम् यौमि, संमधुमतीर्मधुमतीभिः पृच्यन्ताम् शुक्रं दुदुह्रे अह्नयः; cf. V. Pr.I.90,91.
