In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarٳ (वाक्यार्�).—The meaning of a sentence, which comes as a whole composite idea when all the constituent words of it are heard; cf. पदानां सामान्ये वर्तमानाना� यद्विशेष� (padānā� sāmānye vartamānānā� yadviśeṣe)Sवस्थान� � वाक्यार्थः (vasthāna� sa ٳ�), M.Bh. on P.I.2.45 Vart. 4. According to later grammarians the import or meaning of a sentence (वाक्यार्� (ٳ)) flashes out suddenly in the mind of the hearer immediately after the sentence is completely uttered. The import is named प्रतिभ� (پ) by Bhartrhari, cf. Vakyapadiya II.45; cf. also वाक्यार्थश्च प्रतिभामात्रविषय� (ٳśca پmātraviṣaya�) Laghumanjusa. For details and the six kinds of vakyartha, see Vakyapadiya II.154.

Vyakarana (व्याकर�, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.

1) the meaning of a sentence.
2) (in Mīmāṃsā) the sense of a sentence derived on the strength of वाक्यप्रमा� (ⲹṇa) as distinguished from श्रुति, लिङ्� (śܳپ, liṅga) and other प्रमाण (ṇa)s. This is weaker than and hence sublated by the श्रुत्यर्थ (śܳٲⲹٳ) or श्रुति (śܳپ); यत्र श्रुत्यर्थ� � संभवति तत्र वाक्यार्थो गृह्यत� (yatra śrutyartho na saṃbhavati tatra vākyārtho gṛhyate) ŚB. on MS. 6.2.14. वाक्यार्थः श्रुत्या बाध्यत� (ٳ� śrutyā bādhyate) ŚB. on MS.6.2.14. According to Mīmāṃsā view the अर्थ (artha)s of पद (pada)s are सामान्� (峾Բⲹ) and when these form a sentence to yield the वाक्यार्� (ٳ), they get restricted or modified. Hence वाक्यार्� (ٳ) means the पदार्थ (貹ٳ)s modified or restricted; सामान्येनाभिप्रवृत्तानां पदार्थानां यद्विशेषेऽवस्थान� � वाक्यार्थः (sāmānyenābhipravṛttānā� padārthānā� yadviśeṣe'vasthāna� sa ٳ�) ŚB. on MS.3.1.12. °उपमा (ܱ貹) a variety of Upamā according to Daṇḍin; वाक्यार्थेनै� वाक्यार्थः कोऽप� यद्युपमीयत� � एकानेकेवशब्दत्वात् सा वाक्यार्थोपम� द्विधा (vākyārthenaiva ٳ� ko'pi yadyupamīyate | ekānekevaśabdatvāt sā vākyārthopamā dvidhā) || Kāv.2.43.
Derivable forms: ٳ� (वाक्यार्थः).
ٳ is a Sanskrit compound consisting of the terms ⲹ and artha (अर्थ).
