________________ 268 Anekāntavāda and Syādvāda Kundakunda's statement of a practical standpoint may suggest the secondary meaning while his statement of transcendental or real standpoint may convey the primary meaing. It is needless to say that Kundakunda's doctrine of standpoint is a corollary of the theory of Anekānta or indeterminateness of reality, knowledge and meaning. Conclusion To conclude, we may observe that a word or sentence ma multivalence or multi-levels of meaning. Like the manifold, indeterminate and relative reality, its knowledge as well as verbal expression may also be manifold, indeterminate and relative. It is for our practical purpose only that we fix the meaning of a particular word or a sentence according to the context, the intention of the speaker, the general purport and so on. However, meaning is as inexhaustive as reality itself.
