________________ Vol. XXXI, 2007 ON THE FIRST SENTENCE OF VYUTPATTIVĀDA:... possessive'. The nominative suffix sU (added to the adjective nila) means abheda "identity'. The nominative base ghata means 'pot' and the nominative (sg) suffix added to it i.e., SU only in the sense 'sādhutva' (correctness of the word) or it has the same sense as that of the nominative base as per Pāṇini 2.3.4630. Now, the meanings so represented are 'nīlatvavat', 'abheda', 'ghataḥ' and their mutual relations are apparent through samsargamaryādā and that gives the sābdabodha in following manner. The relation between nilatvavat and abheda is prakāratā and that gives the khanda-śābdabodha (partial sentential cognitive structure) as nilatvavatprakāraka-abheda which is again related to ghatah by the relation āśrayatā, that finally makes the śābdabodha as: nīlatvavat-prakāraka-abhedāśrayaḥ ghatah, i.e., the pot which is possessive of the identity whose relational adjunct-ness is bluepossessiveness. This is an elaborate description of śābdabodha of (la) that is how sometime described by the Naiyāyikas. Often they say that the sabdabodha of (la) is nīlābhedavān ghatah. The point must be underlined here is: 'abheda, which appears as the meaning of visesana-vibhakti (the case-ending, sU added to the adjectival term nila) is in fact a padārtha (word meaning) but not 'a relation' as such represented by samsargamaryādā, The relations represented by samsargamaryādā, are as we have seen prakāratā and aśrayatā. This is roughly known as Prakāratā-vāda in the latter tradition, and we will discuss this in detail in due course. Let us see the following diagram: prakāratā aśrayatā prakārată abhed nilatvavad ghataḥ nilatvavad abhed s hatak nila ghata nilah ghataḥ ghaták Diagram 2
