There are many differences of opinion regarding the subject of Vācana-sampat. Some say that it means the teacher should teach the disciple as many sūtras as the disciple can comprehend. According to others, it means to explain the mutual coherence, evidence, and logical interpretations of the meanings, and to combine the sūtra and its meaning including the case, declension, and compound etc.; and according to some others, it means to show the disciple the various synonyms of a single meaning, to teach the meaning through unique sūtras, and to teach in such a way that the disciple can know multiple meanings - and so on. The essence of all this is that the disciple should be imparted knowledge in whichever way he can acquire it. This is Vācana-sampat. In this way, the subject of curriculum and the teacher's teaching ability has been described.
