relates to the rule that the pronoun Yat used in the beginning does not fulfil its expectancy without the use of Tat (gloss p. 247, v. 358 ff). This discussion is connected with Mahimabhatta's exposition of the compounding of words under the third type of Vidheyāvimarsa (V.V.II). Hemachandra thus introduces the question of use of words in compounds that leads to the blemish of Avimțstavidheyaṁśa. Mammața has also touched on this aspect under the compound words Aryānuja and Tātakalatra, where the words Ārya and Tāta are improperly subordinated in the compounds. Hemachandra, therefore, hits on presenting the traditional ideas on this question by means of the Vyaktiviveka passage referred to above. Mammața already mentions that of his sixteen Padadosas, the last three of obscurity, prominent non-mention of the predicate and repugnant suggestion are possible only in a compound. However, it is a sentence-fault when the words are separated. Instances of Samāsas are also cited wherr this fault occurs. Mahimabhatta's View on Compounds Summarised
In the verse (353) #17: FEITETSETATE 217... etc.', Mahimabhatta's attention is first engaged by the negation in the word
#699r. In Asamrabdhavān, negation is prominent, not assertion. So compounding is not proper; for this is a case of Prasajyapratiședha. This is the first kind of Vidheyāvimarsadoşa. The second type of this dosa occurs in the same verse as the correlation of Yad and Tad is jeopardised (only Yad, without Tad, occurs herein and mere Yad refers to a known fact; as such, it does not convey any new meaning. Hence it is the sphere of Anuvādya). The long Vyaktiviveka passage cited by Hemachandra refers to the third type of Vidheyāvimarśadoşa in the same verse. Mahimā introduces the topic of Samāsa by observing that "in the word Ambikäkesari, the genitive compound does not fit in well; for it is faulty. Now, generally, all compound words (except Dvandva or pairs) are made up of adjectives and substantives; for, otherwise, they
