See above. The Jaumara<br />

Vyakarana has no Vedic section<br />

dealing with Vedic forms or accents,<br />

but it has added a section on Pra-<br />

krta just as the Haima Vyakarana.<br />

a supplement to the<br />

Jaumara Vyakarana written by<br />

Goyicandra. See<br />

the revised version by<br />

Jumaranandin <strong>of</strong> the original <strong>grammar</strong><br />

treatise.in verse called<br />

written by Kramadlsvara. The<br />

Jaumarasamskarana is the same as<br />

Jaumara Vyakarana, which see<br />

a root belonging to the<br />

3»Wqlr}3ST name <strong>of</strong> a commentary on<br />

Amarasimha’s Amarakosa written<br />

by Sripati ( Cakravartin ) in the<br />

14th century.<br />

author <strong>of</strong> the well-known<br />

commentary called Tattvabodhinl<br />

on Siddhantakaumudl. He lived in<br />

the first part <strong>of</strong> the sixteenth century<br />

and was a junior contemporary<br />

<strong>of</strong> Bhattoji Diksita. The work summarises<br />

many points from Mahabhasya<br />

and Praudhamanorama.<br />

His teacher was Vamanendra-<br />

sarasvati while his pupil was Nila-'<br />

kaptha Vajapeyin.<br />

IJFPg lit. indirect or implicit revealer;<br />

a word very commonly used in the<br />

sense <strong>of</strong> an indicatory statement.<br />

The Sutras, especially those <strong>of</strong><br />

Panini, are very laconic and it is<br />

believed that not a single word in<br />

the Sutras is devoid <strong>of</strong> purpose.<br />

If it is claimed that a particular<br />

word is without any purpose, the<br />

object <strong>of</strong> it being achieved in some<br />

other way, the commentators<br />

always try to assign some purpose<br />

163<br />

or the other for the use <strong>of</strong> the word<br />

in the Sutra. Such a word or words<br />

or sometimes even the whole Sutra<br />

is called or indicator <strong>of</strong> a<br />

particular thing. The Paribhasas<br />

or rules <strong>of</strong> interpretation are mostly<br />

derived by indication (^TTOif&s)<br />

from a word or words in a Sutra<br />

which apparently appear to be<br />

or without purpose, and which are<br />

shown as $1% after the particu'ar<br />

indication ( ) is drawn from<br />

them. The frTOS is shown to be constituted<br />

<strong>of</strong> four parts, STTW,<br />

and actress. For the<br />

instances <strong>of</strong> Jfiapakas, see Paribha<br />

§endusekhara. Purusottamadeva in<br />

his Jnapakasamuccaya has drawn<br />

numerous conclusions <strong>of</strong> the type<br />

<strong>of</strong> fTq;i from the wording <strong>of</strong> Panini<br />

'Sutras. The word pqjfi and are<br />

used many times as synonyms although<br />

fTO sometimes refers to the<br />

conclusions drawn from a wording<br />

which is frm or indicator. For instances<br />

<strong>of</strong> fTTO, cf. M. Bh. on Mahe-<br />

ivara Sutras 1,3, 5, P. 1. 1.3, 11, 18,<br />

23, 51 etc. The word in the rule<br />

=?Tf is a well-known STm <strong>of</strong> the<br />

The. earliest use <strong>of</strong> the<br />

word in the sense given above,<br />

is found in the Paribhasasflcana <strong>of</strong><br />

Vyadi. The Paribhasa works on<br />

other systems <strong>of</strong> <strong>grammar</strong> such as<br />

the Katantra, the Jainendra and<br />

others have drawn similar Jfiapakas<br />

from the wording <strong>of</strong> the Sutras in<br />

their systems. Sometimes a Jnapaka<br />

is not regularly constituted <strong>of</strong> the<br />

four parts given above; it is a mere<br />

indicator and is called instead<br />

<strong>of</strong> Sim.<br />

a work giving a collection<br />

<strong>of</strong> about 400 Jfiapakas or indicatory<br />

wordings found in the Sutras<br />

<strong>of</strong> Panini and the conclusions drawn<br />

from them. I t was written by
