Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

ٳپ첹 (वार्त्ति�).—A statement which is as much authoritative as the original statement to which it is given as an addition for purposes of correction, completion or explanation. The word is defined by old writers in an often-guoted verse उक्तानुक्तदुरुक्तनां चिन्ता यत्र प्रवर्तत� (uktānuktaduruktanā� Գ yatra pravartate) | तं ग्रन्थ� वार्तिकं प्राहुर्वार्तिकज्ञ� मनीषिणः (ta� grantha� پ첹� prāhurپ첹jñā manīṣiṇa�)|This definition fully applies to the varttikas on the Sutras of Panini. The word is explained by Kaiyata as वृत्तौ साधु वार्त्तिकम� (ṛttau sādhu vārttikam) which gives strength to the supposition that there were glosses on the Sutras of Panini of which the Varttikas formed a faithful pithy summary of the topics discussed. The word varttika is used in the Mahabhasya at two places only हन्तेः पूर्वविप्रविषेधो वार्तिकेनै� ज्ञापितः (hante� pūrvavipraviṣedho vārtikenaiva jñāpita�) M.Bh. on P.III. 4.37 and अप� आह� यद्वार्त्तिक इत� (apara āh yadvārttika iti) M.Bh. on P. II.2.24 Vart. 18. In अप� अह� यद्वार्त्तिक इत� (apara ah� yadvārttika iti) the word is contrasted with the word वृत्तिसूत्� (ṛtپūٰ) which means the original Sutra (of Panini) which has been actua-Ily quoted, viz. संख्ययाव्ययासन्न� (ṃkⲹ屹ⲹԲ)o II.2. 25. Nagesa gives ' सूत्रे अनुक्तदुरुक्तच�-न्ताकरत्वं वार्तिक्रत्वम् (sūtre anuktaduruktaci-ntākaratva� vārtikratvam) as the definition of a Varttika which refers only to two out of the three features of the Varttikas stated above. If the word उक्त (ukta) has been omitted with a purpose by Nagesa, the definition may well-nigh lead to support the view that the genuine Varttikapatha of Katyayana consisted of a smaller number of Varttikas which along with a large number of Varttikas of other writers are quoted in the Mahabhasya, without specific names of writers, For details see pages 193-223 Vol. VII Patanjala Mahabhasya, D.E. Society's Edition.
