"Tātparya"
401 paribhāsā IV. 3 has - "tatra padarthānām paraspara-jijñāsā-visayatva-yogyatvam ākāñksā, kriyāśravane kārakasya, kāraka-śravane kriyāyāh, karana-śravane itikartavyatāyāśca jijñāsā-visayatvāt.” Stray collection of words such as "gauh aśvah puruso hasti”, or 'daśa dāļimāni şad apūpāḥ kundam ajājinam palala-pindah adharorukam etat kumāryāḥ sphaiyakstasya pitā pratiśīnaḥ” - as observed in the Mbh. pp. 1, and 38, do not make for a sentence.
Dr. Raja (pp. 157) observes that the Mīmāmsakas are not quite clear in distinguishing between syntectic expectancy and psychological expectancy and Bharthari actually criticises their definition of a sentence on the ground that the 'ākāńksā’ of the Mimāmsaka, would imply that a passage of several grammatical sentences would have to be considered as one sentence. (V.P. II. 3) - Bhartrhari observes :
"nighātā”di-vyavasthārtham śāstre yat-paribhāṣitam, sā"kāňkşa-yayavam tena na sarvam tulya-laksaņam.” V.P. II. 3 and he further observes : "sā”kānksá-vayavam bhede paránākānkşa-sabdakam, karma-pradhānam guṇavad
ekártham vākyam ucyate.” - V.P. II. iv. Śālikanātha, the follower of Prabhākara, holds that 'ākānksā being the curiosity on the part of the listeners has to be explained by some on the basis of invariable association such as an action necessarily implying an agent, a place, an instrument etc. and an agent or an instrument implying an action to complete its sense. But this view is criticized on the ground that there is no end to the curiocities of the listeners through such associations. The Vākyártha-mātņkā-vștti (pp. 5) observes : “kā punar iyam ākānksā ? pratipattur jijñāsā. kim nibandhanā punar asau ? avinābhāva-nibandhanā iti kecit. kriyā hi kārakā'vinābhāvini iti tām pratītya kārakam jijñāsate. evam kārakam api buddhvā kriyām iti. tad ayuktam iti manyante. jijñāsā tathā tadiya-janaka-tat-kriyā-tat-karakántara"di-jijñāsām api āpadyate.” Newer and newer expectancies are caused due to newer and newer and newer associations coming in the minds of listeners. This could be endless. So, only those curiosities that are essential for the accomplishment of the intended purpose
