emphatic, and (2) Paryudāsa, where affirmation is more prominent than negation. Besides, on the basis of the general principle that if a word enters into a compound, it cannot be emphasised, it is laid down that when negation is not compounded it is Prasajyapratişedha and when it is compounded, it is Paryudāsa, However, Vāmana allows compounding in Prasajya pratiședha and hence it cannot be said to be admitted on all hands that whenever Nañ is compounded, it must be Paryudāsa. Hemachandra thinks that the negation in Anuktavān should be emphatic because it is a negation called prasajyapratişedha and so he states that the negative compound in Anuktavān is improper because the negative here is called Paryudāsa (compounded) and it gets connected with the verb. Besides, he adds, by reproducing an argument from the Vyaktiviveka, connected with the verse Samrambhah Karikita... etc. (V.353 in our text, cited to illustrate Avimțstavidheyāṁsadosa in a sentence, p. 245) with the comments (p. 196), that it is not proper to resort to Paryudāsa here because it will prevent the sense from being comprehended or the sense will not fit in. This discussion proceeds apace and forms an interesting intellectual exercise in the Vyaktiviveka (11) (vide Viveka, Qs. 76-77) the discussion regarding the propriety of construction in relation to Uddeśya and Vidheya so as to avoid the Vācyāvacanadoşa comes to an end (vide V.V.11. 94-95; also pp. 431-32) thus :
"The predicate should not be stated without stating the subject; for nothing, nowhere can stand stable unless it has found a substratum. This mutual relation of subject and predicate is of the nature of Rūpya-rūpaka; so, in it, the mention of predicate is never proper before a subject." (vide K.A.S., pp. 244-245). Hemachandra goes on to cite the view-point of patañjali, the author of the Mahābhāşya, who has detected the blemish of prominent non-mention of the predicate in Pānini's, sūtra "Vưddhirādaic" because the order of Anuvadya or Uddesya and Vidheya is reversed here. But he defends this reversal on the ground that it signifies an auspicious beginning.
