Śabdavsttis, the nature of : Abhidhā
297 i.e. In abhihitánvayavāda laksaņā is believed to take place after vācyatva is over. In anvitábhidhānavāda it is believed to occur prior to the primary i.e., vācyarva. In the two (together), at both the places (i.e. earlier and later), and where 'akhandatā' is accepted with reference to sentence sense, laksaņā does not take place at all. It is believed and divided as done earlier in an imagined sense such as word-sense (because in reality only the sentence-sense exists)."
Mukula observes : (pp. 48, ibid) : akhande tu vākyárthésau lakṣaņā paramārthena násti. bhinnānām padārthānām paramārthatóbhidheya-bhāvasya anupapadyamānatvāt, tad āśritatvāc ca laksanāyāh. kalpita-padārthā”śrayena tu sā laksaņā yathā-ruci pūrvavad abhihitánvaya-anvitábhidhāna - tat-samuccayakalpanayā vibhaktavyabhāge niveśyā, parasparasya deśa-kālávacchedena'sesavyavahart--nişthatayā rūdhatvāt.”
Mukula observes that in all the four alternatives such as the abhihitánvayavāda and the rest, wherever it is not proper to accept the primary sense, the functioning of laksaņā is suggested. This laksaņā, according to Mukula
(i) the primary sense, being contradicted by any other means of knowledge becomes impossible,
(ii) the laksyártha being closer to mukhyártha and (iii) and also when this acceptance of the secondary sense - 'sántarārtha-grahaņa' - rests on some 'prayojana' or reason : .
"yā ca iyam sat-prakārā lakṣaṇā pūrvam uktā, sā - (i) mukhyárthasya pramāņántara-bādhitatvena-a-sambhavāt. (ii) lakṣyamāṇasya ca arthasya mukhyártham prati āsannatvāt,
(iii) sántarártha-grahanasya ca sa-prayojanatvāt iti evamvidha-kāranatritayā”tmaka-sāmagrī-samāśrayeņa vặddha-vyavahāre paridrśyate.
Now, says Mukula, the 'āsannatva' or nearness of laksyártha with mukhyártha is five-fold, according to Bhartrmitra-such as,
"abhidheyena sambandhāt sādrśyāt, samavāyataḥ vaiparītyāt kriyā-yogāt
lakṣaṇā pañcadhā matā” iti (pp. 50, ibid) i.e. through (i) relation with the primary meaning (ii) through similarity (iii) 'samavāya' i.e, intimate relation, (iv) opposition (iv) relation with verb-kriyāyoga;
