Kauṇḍabhaṭṭa on the meaning of the affix bhāvapratyaya (original) (raw)
This paper is intended to present a Japanese translation of the bhāvapratyayārthanirṇaya ("final determination of the meaning of the affix bhāvapratyaya") in the Vaiyākaraṇabhūṣaṇasāra of Kauṇḍabhaṭṭa. Bhāvapratyaya-s are the affixes such as tva and taL(tā), called taddhita, which are prescribed in Pāṇini's rules P5.1.119-136. These rules provide that such affixes are optionally introduced after syntactically and semantically related items when "bhāva" is to be denoted (tasya bhāvaḥ). This "bhāva" serving as a condition for affixation in these rules may mean the occasioning ground for the use of the word (pravṛttinimitta) or the mode (prakāra) in which the thing denoted by the word appears in the awareness. A brief synopsis of the bhāvapratyayārthanirṇaya is as follows: v.49: Exposition of the statement of Bhartṛhari "kṛttaddhitasamāsebhyaḥ sambandhābhidhānaṁ bhāvapratyayenānyatra rūḍhyabhinnāvyabhicaritas...

In considering the special features of the integrated form, Patañjali points out that a particular number (saṁkhyāviśeṣa) occurs in a sentence (vākya), as in rājñaḥ puntṣaḥ, rājñoḥ puntṣaḥ, rājñāṁ puruṣaḥ; while in a compound (samāsa) such as rājapuruṣaḥ it does not occur. Bhartṛhari interprets Patañjali's statement "in a compound a particular number does not occur" (samāse [saṁkhyāviśeṣo] na bhavati) as signifying that in a compound something distinct from particular numbers occurs (*samāse a-saṁkhyāviśeṣo bhavati). Bhartṛhari thus invents the number abhedaikatvasaṁkhyā for the integrated form, which he considers to be expressed by its subord...
