## Introduction
A propositional sentence, even while expressing its intended prohibitive dharma, also implicitly conveys the dharma of its inseparable existence. It does not merely indicate the prohibition by negating or ignoring the latter. This is because every object possesses infinite dharmas, encompassing both "tad" and "atad" - opposing dharmas. Therefore, no sentence can arbitrarily disregard this inherent nature. However, it primarily conveys its intended meaning and secondarily the rest. To present this fact, the Syadvada philosophy asserts that the word "syat" is always present, either explicitly or implicitly, in every sentence uttered by the speaker. If a prescriptive or prohibitive sentence were only a regulator of prescription or prohibition, then the negation of the other opposing dharma would also lead to the absence of its inseparable implied dharma. Consequently, the object would become devoid of any dharma (attribute) and thus become indistinguishable (empty).
Through four karikas (verses) from 110 to 113, the author examines the beliefs of the Ekantvadins (those who hold the doctrine of one-sidedness) regarding the nature of speech and establishes the nature of speech from the perspective of Syadvada. The author states that every utterance (sentence) refers to an object in its "tad" and "atad" forms, as we have seen above. Therefore, a statement claiming "only 'tad' is the object" is not true. And when it is not true, how can the truth (the real object) be taught through false statements? The Vidhivadins (those who hold the doctrine of prescription) should seriously consider this.
The belief that every sentence only indicates "not other" is also not valid. This is because the nature of speech is to negate the meaning conveyed by other sentences while also conveying its own general meaning. Speech that does not possess this characteristic is like a flower without fragrance - false.
