Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

1) Pracaya (प्रच�).—A specific feature or quality (धर्म (dharma)) of the grave (अनुदात्त (Գܻٳٲ)) accent when a vowel, accented grave, is preceded by a स्वरित (svarita) (circumflex . vowel) and is followed upon by another grave-accented vowel. These grave vowels in succession, i.e. the grave vowels which are not followed by an acute or a circumflex vowel are uttered neither distinctly circumflex nor distinctly grave; cf also R. Pr, III.II-14. They are uttered like the acute, but slightly so; e. g. the vowels after मे (me) and before ति (ti) in इम� मे गङ्ग� (ima� me gaṅge)' यमुन� सरस्वत� (yamune sarasvati); cf. स्वरितात्संहितायामनुदात्ताना� प्रच� उदात्तश्रुति� (svarittsaṃhitymanudttn� pracaya udttaśruti�) T. Pr. XXI.10, 11 also cf. P.I.2.39, where the term एकश्रुति (첹śܳپ) is used for the word प्रच� (pracaya);

2) Pracaya.—The connection of one word with many words; e.g. राज्ञो गोश्चाश्वश्च पुरुषश्च (rjño goścśvaśca ܰṣaśca) where राज्ञः (ñ�) is connected with गौ, अश्व (gau, ś) and पुरु� (ܰṣa); cf. प्रचये समासप्रतिषेधोः वक्तव्यः (pracaye samsapratiṣedho� vaktavya�) M. Bh. on II.1.1 Vart, 6.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
