Guest guest Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 The term "nimittapaJcamii" is analogous to "nimittasaptamii". Although the former is not found in "A Dictionary of Sanskrit Grammar"(K V Abhyankar and J M Shukla; Oriental Institute, Baroda, 1986), the latter term does find its entry in it. Please refer also the following vaarttika on the suutra "hetau"(P.2.3.23) nimitta-kaaraNa-hetuSu sarvaasaaM praaya-darzanam || 1 || and the corresponding commentary in the mahaabhaaSya.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Dear Dr. Narayan Prasad I am thanking for your useful information. As you pointed out, we can introduce the fifth case ending after the word denoting some kind of cause on the ground of Vaarttika 1 on P. 2. 3. 23. and P. 2. 3. 24. I can understand the theoretical ground of nimittapanJamii. But I can not find this term in that portion. I suspect that this term is derived from other grammatical school, for example Kaatantra. Uddyotakara uses this term twice, NV under NS 1. 1. 1. and 1. 1. 34, as far as my observations go. Therefore I can not think this term is used accidently. I will research the usage of this term further. Your information will help my research.

In Kaatantra, the term "nimittapaJcamii" does not occur (I have checked only the durga-vRtti). >Uddyotakara uses this term twice, NV under NS 1. 1. 1. and 1. 1. 34, >as far as my observations go.

The use of a compound word such as "nimittapaJcamii" in any commentary or bhaaSya on some non-grammatical work to justify or explain the use of a particular case in a word does not require any grammatical authority in support of its use exactly in this form. It is enough to indicate the theoretical background in the form of a suutra or any supplementary rule, such as vaarttika. On the suutra "kkGiti ca"(P.1.1.5), Kaazikaa remarks:"nimittasaptamy eSaa." It is only in rare case, such as this, that we find a direct mention of compound word like "nimittasaptamii" in the grammatical literature. But based on analogy, one can derive many such compound words which may or may not be traced in grammatical literature as such. For example: (1) apaadaana-paJcamii --- based on "apaadaane paJcamii"(P.2.3.28) (2) vibhakta-paJcamii --- based on "paJcamii vibhakte"(P.2.3.42) (3) nirdhaaraNa-SaSThii --- based on "yatazca nirddhaaraNam"(P.2.3.41) (4) nirdhaaraNa-saptamii --- based on "yatazca nirddhaaraNam"(P.2.3.41) (5) adhikaraNa-saptamii --- based on "saptamy adhikaraNe ca"(P.2.3.36) (6) anaadara-SaSThii --- based on "SaSThii caanaadare"(P.2.3.38) (7) anaadara-saptamii --- based on "SaSThii caanaadare"(P.2.3.38) Regards.
