General definition (in Hinduism)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Vakyapadiya in Hinduism glossary
: WikiPedia: Hinduism

Bhartṛhari is the author of the ⲹ貹īⲹ ("[treatise] on words and sentences"). The work is divided into three books,

  • the 󳾲-ṇḍ, (or Āgama-samuccaya "aggregation of traditions"),
  • the Vākya-kāṇḍa,
  • and the ʲ岹-ṇḍ (or Prakīrṇaka "miscellaneous").
: Brill: The Saṃbandha-Samuddeśa (Chapter on Relation)

The ⲹ貹īⲹ (by Bhartṛhari) consists of about 2000 philosophical couplets or kārikās. Since the latter half of the nineteenth century, the ⲹ貹īⲹ has been known to Western Sanskritists, but its language-philosophical contents have started to receive serious attention only in the last few decennia. The subject matter of the ⲹ貹īⲹ resonates strongly with crucial themes in twentieth-century Western thought, although the background and the way the issues are elaborated are quite different.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
