*“ Bhadrahari says:
(fr. 17) "Spoken Words, having been gathered, are classified into classes (jāti).
A single, undifferentiated word is put in a class by the mind (of hearers).'
(=svā jātih prathamam sabdaih sarvair evābhidhīyate /
tato 'rthajātirūpesu tadadhyāro pakalpanā // — Vākyap. III, 6.) (fr. 18) "The first syllables (akşara) have each of them something to be seen (visible aspect) and express (meaning) in such a way, that the capability (of hearers to interpret them) is multiple. There are many kinds of those expressing ways.?”
( Eekaşminn api dịśye 'rthe darśanam bhidyate prthak /
kālāntareņa vaiko 'pi tam paśyaty anyathā punah // ekasyäpi ca sabdasya nimittair avyavasthitaih / ekena bahubhiś cārtho bahudhā parikalpyate //- vākyap. II, 138; 139, pp. 138-139.)
