Vyañjanā'
621 cites the analogy of șāļavādi-rasa (Ch. VI. Nā. śā). This can have an important bearing on the vyañjanāvāda of the ālamkārikas, wherein, vibhāva, anubhāva, etc., cause to enhance the sthāyin to the capacity of rasa.
It should also be mentioned that Pāṇini does not mention 'dhvani', nor does he refer to sphotavāda. He does mention one, "sphotāyana', without referring to the theory of sphota (Ref. Pā. VI. i. 121). We, also come across the word 'vyakta', meaning 'distinct', 'clear', - in the sūtra I. 3.48, e.g. - 'vyaktavācām samuccārane'. Also at I. ii. 51, we read, 'vyaktivacanah', and at VI. i. 123, we have 'avan sphotāyanasya'. These occurrences have no direct or indirect bearing on the theory of vyañjanā or dhvani. Some important references where Dr. Bhate has suggested that Pānini has directly touched vyañjanā, and we have called the same as "rudhavyañjanā”, have been noted earlier in this chapter. They form a bridge between grammar and sāhitya śāstra.
In the Mahābhāşya of Patañjali (Cir. 150. B.C.), - we come across many occurrences of different forms of the roots Vañj and vi+ Vañj, and also of the words vyañjana, sphoța etc. We have recorded earlier some of these that seem to have a direct bearing on the theory of vyañjanā of the alamkārikas. But we supplement our effort hear by citing some more references as under.
We find 'vyajyante' at Pā. VIII. i. 70, line 15, pp. 381. The reference reads as - ihápi tarhi mandrasādhanā kriyángā vyajyate. - The context is that in the illustration, “mandrair indra haribhir yāhi mayiruromabhiḥ” the word 'mandra' being not an indicative of 'gati' or 'action', does not get an anudārta svara. While discussing this particular illustration, the author says that here also, a particular action - kriyā - which has 'mandra' for its kāraka is suggested by the upasarga 'ān'. Thus we get 'vyajyate' in the sense of 'suggestion'.
We find 'vyajyante' at pā. I. 3.1 line 19-20, pp. 258; the author says that without 'kriyā' or 'action', the kālās such as bhūta, vartamāna, etc. are not suggesteda vi+Vañj occurs in the sense of 'suggestion' here. : “athavā nántarena kriyām bhūtabhavisyad-vartamānāh kālāh vyajyante" - and also, "astyādibhiścā'pi bhūta-bhavisyad-vartamānāḥ kālāḥ vyajyante”; at pā. I. iii. 1; 19, 20/258 also carries the sense of suggestion.
Again at Pā. III, i. 67 14/57 we read · "tinabhihitena bhāvena kālapurusopagrahā abhivyajyante krd-abhihitena punar na vyajyante." We have 'vyajyante in the sense of 'suggestion'. The author says that the meaning of 'bhāva' or 'action' is suggested by both 'tin' and 'krdanta'. But there is some difference in
