eloquently (pratipurna); in perfect accent (pratipurnaghosh); emanating from vocal cords and lips (kanthoshthavipramukta) and as acquired through the discourse of the guru (guruvachanopagat) (also see aphorism 14). By doing so one will know if that is an expression concerning one's own doctrine or an expression concerning other's doctrine or an expression concerning bondage or an expression concerning liberation or an expression concerning samayik or an expression concerning nosamayik. On such recitation some ascetics understand the meaning and to some others the meaning remains unknown. Therefore, in order to explain the meaning of those unknown interpretations I will explain the terms one by one. The procedure of this elaboration is as follows
(1) Samhita (perfect elocution), (2) Padachhed (parsing), (3) Padarth (paraphrasing), (4) Padavigraha (expounding compound words), (5) Chalana (anticipation of objections), and (6) Prasiddhi (validation). (3)
This concludes the description of Sutrasparsh Niryuktanugam (contextual elaboration embracing the sutra). This concludes the description of Niryuktanugam (contextual elaboration). This also concludes the description of Anugam (interpretation).
Elaboration-The commentator (Vritti) has defined sutra (aphorism/text) as follows
That which encompasses extremely wide meaning in few letters (words), is free of thirty two faults, has eight qualities and other required attributes is called a sutra (aphorism/text).
The eight qualities are as follows
(1) Nirdosh-without faults.
(2) Saaravan--meaningful.
(3) Hetuyukt-following a system of syntax and parsing.
(4) Alankarayukt-embellished with style, metaphor and rhetoric
etc.
(5) Upaneet-with suitable and appropriate examples.
(6) Sopachar-with eloquence and beauty of language.
