In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarVyartha (啶掂啶ぐ啷嵿ぅ).鈥�(l) useless, serving no purpose, superfluous; the word is usually used in the sense of useless or futile in connection with a rule or its part, which serves no purpose, its purpose or object being served otherwise; such words or rules have never been condemned as futile by commentators, but an attempt is made invariably by them to deduce something from the futile wording and show its necessity; cf. 啶掂啶ぐ啷嵿ぅ啷� 啶膏啷嵿啷嵿啶距お啶い啶� (vyarthe sajj帽腻payati) a remark which is often found in the commentary literature; cf. 啶呧え啷嵿く啶ムぞ 啶呧え啷嵿い啶班啷嵿啶む啶掂ぞ啶︵啶︵啶班啶樴 啶曕啶� 啶忇さ 啶啶班い啷嵿く啶お啷嵿ぐ啶距お啷嵿い啷嵿く啶� 啶むう啷嵿く啶班啶ムい啶� 啶膏啶し啷嵿啷堗さ 啷� (anyath腻 antara峁単atv腻dd墨rghe k峁泃a eva pratyayapr腻pty腻 tadyarthat腻 spa峁ａ弓aiva |) Par. Sek. Pari. 56; (2) possessed of various senses such as the words 啶呧啷嵿し啶距 啶ぞ啶粪ぞ啶� (ak峁Ｄ遽弗 bh腻峁Ｄ遽弗) etc.; cf. 啶掂啶ぐ啷嵿ぅ啷囙し啷� 啶� 啶啶曕啶むじ啶傕ざ啶ぎ啷� 啷� (vyarthe峁 ca muktasa峁兣沘yam |) M.Bh.on P.I.2.64 Vart. 52. The word 啶掂啶ぐ啷嵿ぅ (vyartha) possibly stands for 啶掂た啶掂た啶оぞ啶班啶� (惫颈惫颈诲丑腻谤迟丑补) in such cases. It appears that the word 啶掂啶ぐ啷嵿ぅ (vyartha) in the sense of futile was rarely used by ancient grammarians; the word 啶呧え啶班啶ム (anarthaka) appears to have been used in its place. See Mahabhasya in which the word 啶掂啶ぐ啷嵿ぅ (vyartha) does not occur in this sense while the word 啶呧え啶班啶ム (anarthaka) occurs at several places.
