SAHRDAYĀLOKA "ājānikasty adhunikah samketo dvividho matah, nitya ājānikas tatra yā śaktir iti gīyate.” V.P. kādācitkas tv ādhunikaḥ
śāstra-kārādibhiḥ krtaḥ.” - V.P. (quoted in sabdas'akti-prakāśikā)
Abhidhā is classified in a three-fold way such as (i) rūdhi. (in voga and (iii) vogarūdhi. These are again known as (i) kevala-samudāya-śaktiḥ, (ii) kevala-avayavaśaktiḥ, and (iii) samudaya-avayava-śakti-samkara. - Jagannātha observes : seyam abhidhā trividhā, kevala-samudāya-śaktiḥ, kevala-avayava-śaktiḥ, samudáyāvayavasakti-samkaraś ca - (R.G. pp. 141). We will discuss Jagannātha's views in greater detail below. Rudhi is said to be there, where the word as a whole-samud . the meaning. Here we gather the meaning with the help of 'akhanda-śakti' of a word
- "akhanda-śakti-mātrenaikārtha-pratipadakatvam rūdhiḥ." holds Vșttivārtika of Appayya Dixita. Here rūdhi is formed because the meaning of the components of the word is not at all comprehended separately, or even if the meaning of the word is gathered separately, it is ultimately not recognised. Again, when the meaning of the components of a word becomes important, in order to get the full sense of the word as a whole, it becomes the case of yogā"tmaka abhidhā. Appayya in Vrtti-vārtika observes, - "avayava-śakti-mātra-sāpekşam padasya ekārtha-pratipadakatvam yogah.” Yoga-rūdhi is said to be there in cases where avayavasakti, and samudāyaśakti both are required. Appayya observes, - "avayava-samudāya-ubhaya-saktisāpekşam ekártha-pratipāddkatvam yoga-rūdhiḥ.” In the case of 'pankaja', the etymological meaning is, that which is born in mud.' This can be applicable to anything born in mud, other than lotus also. The Naiyāyikas do not accept either rūdhi or yoga in this case. Appayya observes that it is better to accept yoga-rūdhi here : (pp. 5, Vịttivārtika) : "naiyāyikās tu pankajā"di-sabda-rūpaikopädānarūpayā’ntaranga-pratyāsattyā, nābhi-kamala-kumudānvayāt prāg eva, pankajanikartstva-vaišistyena-upasthitasya paprakhya padmāśraya-tvenopasthitasya pankajanikartstvasya ca nābhikamala-kumudā"dyanvaye nákānkṣā, na ca višistasya tad anvaya-visayiņi śābda-dhīḥ, iti tad anvayárthm svatantra-padmatvapankajanikartstva-upasthitaye pankajā”dipadasya laksanaivá-bhyupagantavyā, na tu rūļhir yogo vā."
