In Hinduism
Mīmāṃsā (school of philosophy)
: Srimatham: Mīmāṃsa: The Study of Hindu ExegesisԳܱ岹 (अनुवाद, “paraphrase (translation)�) refers to one of the various tools used by authors displaying their skill in the art of writing.—Paraphrasing (Գܱ岹) is the act in which a statement or remark is explained in other words or another way—as to clarify the meaning, or when a direct quotation is unavailable. Often, a paraphrase might substitute a euphemism for an actual statement, in order to avoid offense, but the paraphrase should not change the original meaning.

Mimamsa (मीमांस�, mīmāṃsā) refers to one of the six orthodox Hindu schools of philosophy, emphasizing the nature of dharma and the philosophy of language. The literature in this school is also known for its in-depth study of ritual actions and social duties.

Sir Monier Williams in his Sanskrit-English Dictionary has said, Գܱ岹 is saying after or again, repeating by way of explanation, explanatory repetition, or reiteration with corroboration or illustration, explanatory reference to anything already said. The English term ‘Translation� for Գܱ岹 is derived from the Latin word translat-us-a-um meaning to transfer.

: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Goldstücker Sanskrit-English DictionaryԳܱ岹 (अनुवाद):—[tatpurusha compound] m.
(-岹�) 1) Reference or referring to what has been previously said, not in the way of a mere repetition or tautology, but in that of explanation, detailed comment or emphasis; explanatory and corroborative reference, explanation; e. g. bhūparidhimānānu岹� ‘a detailed explanation with reference to the measure of the earth’s circumference (mentioned before in the Golādhyāya)�; or, in Manu 2. 53. the words khāni saṃspṛśet are an Գܱ岹 to nivedya &c. 2. 51., because they give a detailed illustration of the general injunction contained in the latter verse. If a word is repeated or an expression used which would seem superfluous, because not conveying a new notion, such repeated word or such expression is Գܱ岹, provided a certain purpose be connected with it, otherwise it would be sipely punarukta or a meaningless tautology, e. g. ghaṭo ghaṭa� or ghaṭa� kalasa� ‘a jar is a jar� would be a punarukta; but the repetition of 貹ś in Yājnav. 2. 1. from 1. 359. is an Գܱ岹� because it points to the connexion between both passages and to the detail which is to follow as an illustration of 1. 359.; or in Manu 1. 72. 貹ṃkⲹ might be taken as an Գܱ岹 to �, because it imparts greater emphasis to the bare numeral.
2) In the ritual literature Գܱ岹 designates those passages of the Brāhmaṇa portion of the Vedas, which point to an injunction given before (vidhi q. v.) and illustrate it by the way of comment, or by entering into greater detail, or by adding supplementary rules, but without stating the purpose of the injunction itself as the latter would be the object of the ٳ岹 (q. v.); the Գܱ岹 being accessory, therefore, to the vidhi portion of the Brāhmaṇa and precluded from giving independent regulations, the supplementary rites they contain are not considered of equal weight and as absolute as those of the vidhi; there exists however sometimes a difficulty to decide whether a passage of the Brāhmaṇas is vidhi or Գܱ岹, or in other words whether its injunctions are absolute or not, as appears from the discussion of the Mīmāṃsists. (The Nyāya, supported by the commentaries on the Mīmāṃsā, distribute the text of the Brāhmaṇa under the three heads of vidhi, Գܱ岹 and ٳ岹 qq. vv.; a later division makes Գܱ岹 one of the three categories of the ٳ岹.)
3) Report, e. g. kutsitārthānu岹�.
4) Abuse, reviling (? this meaning is given by several dictionaries on the authority of the Śabdaratnāvalī, but, to judge from the Mss. at my disposal, it would seem to proceed from another reading or from a misunderstanding of the passage of this work which contains the synonymes of ‘rumour�: yathārthāniścitā vārttā bhavetsarvajanātmikā . kutsitārthānuvādo vā kiṃvadantī janaśruti� ..; the same might be said of the meanings ‘abusive reply� and ‘divulging another’s misdeeds� which occur also in some dictionaries). E. vad with anu, kṛt aff. ñ or anu and 岹.
