8 वाक्यम् _vākyam

वाक्यम् [वच्-ण्यत् चस्य कः]

1 Speech, words, a sentence, saying, what is spoken; शृणु मे वाक्यम् 'hear my words', 'hear me'; वाक्ये न संतिष्ठते 'does not obey'; संक्षिप्तस्याप्यतो$स्यैव वाक्यस्यार्थगरीयसः Śi.1.2.24.

-2 A sen- tence, period (complete utterance of a thought); वाक्यं स्याद्योग्यताकाङ्क्षासत्तियुक्तः पदोच्चयः S. D.6; पदसमूहो वाक्यम् Tarka K.; श्रौत्यार्थी च भवेद्वाक्ये समासे तद्धिते तथा K. P.1.

-3 An argument or syllogism (in logic).

-4 A precept, rule, an aphorism.

-5 (In astr.) The solar process for all astronomical computations.

-6 An assertion, statement.

-7 Command.

-8 (In law) Declaration, legal evidence.

-9 Betrothment.

-Comp. -आडम्बरः bombastic language.

-अर्थः 1 the meaning of a sentence.

-2 (in Mīmāṁsā) the sense of a sente- nce derived on the strength of वाक्यप्रमाण as distin- guished from श्रुति, लिङ्ग and other प्रमाणs. This is weaker than and hence sublated by the श्रुत्यर्थ or श्रुति; यत्र श्रुत्यर्थो न संभवति तत्र वाक्यार्थो गृह्यते ŚB. on MS. 6.2.14. वाक्यार्थः श्रुत्या बाध्यते ŚB. on MS.6.2.14. According to Mīmāṁsā view the अर्थs of पदs are सामान्य and when these form a sentence to yield the वाक्यार्थ, they get restricted or modified. Hence वाक्यार्थ means the पदार्थs modified or restricted; सामान्येनाभिप्रवृत्तानां पदार्थानां यद्विशेषे$वस्थानं स वाक्यार्थः ŚB. on MS.3.1.12. ˚उपमा a variety of Upamā according to Daṇḍin; वाक्यार्थेनैव वाक्यार्थः को$पि यद्युपमीयते । एकानेकेवशब्दत्वात् सा वाक्यार्थोपमा द्विधा ॥ Kāv.2.43.

-आलापः conversation, discourse.

-उपचारः speaking; Rām.

-खण्डनम् refutation of an assertion or argu- ment.

-ग्रहः paralysis of speech.

-पदम् a word in a sentence.

-पदीयम् N. of a work attributed to Bhartri- hari.

-पद्धतिः f. the manner of composing sentences, diction, style.

-परिसमाप्तिः f. Completion of a sentence (i. e. the application of the sense expressed by a sentence). This occurs in two ways; (i) the sense of the sentence as a whole may be predicated of the things or persons mentioned in the उद्देशपद severally; or (ii) it may be predicated of them all combined together. The former is known as प्रत्येकं वाक्यपरिसमाप्तिः and is illustrated by देवदत्तयज्ञदत्तविष्णुमित्रा भोज्यन्ताम्; while the latter is known as समुदाये वाक्यपरिसमाप्तिः and illustr- ated by गर्गाः शतं दण्ड्यन्ताम्; see ŚB. on MS.3.1.12.

-प्रबन्धः 1 a treatise, connected composition.

-2 the flow of sentences.

-प्रयोगः employed of speech, use of language.

-भेदः a different assertion, a divergent statement; संदिग्धे तु व्यवायाद् वाक्यभेदः स्यात् MS.3.1.21; वाक्यभेदान् बहूनगमत् Mu.2.

-रचना, -विन्यासः arrange- ment of words in a sentence, syntax.

-विलेखः An officer in charge of writing of accounts, orders etc. ततो वाक्यविलेखाख्यैर्दत्तोपन्तैः स्वशक्तितः Parṇāl.4.55.

-विशारद a. eloquent, skilled in speech.
