vyañjana , nt. (= Pali id. ; in Skt. defined BR , pw , consonant and syllable ; possibly sound should be substituted for the latter, at least in some cases), (individual) sound ; defined AbhidhK. LaV-P. ii.239 by akṣara, phonème (varṇa), voyelle et consonne, par exemple a, ā, i, ī, etc. ; here and in °na-kāyaḥ (see kāya 2) Mvy 1997 contrasted with nāman , word , and pada , sentence ; much more commonly in contrast with artha, meaning , and regularly in such a context with implication of the ‘letter’ as against the ‘spirit’ (artha, the real meaning ) in a sense close to the Biblical usage: arthato vā °nato vā SP 200.6 , either in regard to the meaning (spirit) or the letter ( Pali also atthato vā °nato vā); in Sūtrāl. xviii.32 , comm. , vyañjanasya is equated with yathārutārthasya, see s.v. ruta (2); na vyañjanā ( v.l. °naṃ) bhrasyati (= bhraś°) nāpi cārthā LV 444.8 ( vs ), neither sound(s) nor sense is lost ; (saddharmaṃ …) svarthaṃ suvyañjanaṃ LV 3.8 , having good meaning and good sound(s) ; arthena mahyaṃ kāriyaṃ kiṃ bhoti vyañjanaṃ subahukaṃ Mv iii.60.20 ( vs ; so mss. , with varr. ; corrupt, but prob. was an āryā line), my concern is with the meaning, what is the use of abundant sound? ; artha-pratisaraṇa as against vyañjana-prati°, Mvy 1546 , Bbh 175.16 , see s.v. pratisaraṇa (1); na vyañjanābhisaṃskārārthī, saḥ arthārthī … na vyañjanārthī Bbh 256.25 ; śāstuḥ śrāvakāṇāṃ cārthenārthaḥ padena padaṃ ( word , or sentence? see s.v. ) vyañjanena vyañjanaṃ saṃsyandate sameti yad utāgrapadaiḥ Av ii.142.16 ; 143.5—6 ; pada-vyañjanaṃ, dvandva or tatp. ? seemingly tatp. in SP 475.3 (yadā …) ito dharmaparyāyād antaśaḥ pada- °naṃ paribhraṣṭaṃ bhaviṣyati, when from this religious text so much as a (single) sound (or letter ) of a word (or sentence? ) shall be lost ; in the others could more easily mean words (sentences?) and sounds (letters) , yāni … padavyañjanāni paribhraṣṭāni SP 235.6 ; na ca yathoddiṣṭaṃ pada-°naṃ paripūrṇaṃ karonti Mv i.90.3 , and they do not make perfect(ly) as intended the sounds of the words ( sentences? or, words and sounds , sc. of sacred texts). —See further s.v. vāla-vya° .
