वाक्यभेदन्यायः (vAkyabhedanyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
The maxim refers to a general rule of grammar that one sentence should convery one meaning only. But if the expressive ideas are more than one, then those fragments of that sentence are mutually dependent.
According to Mimāṁsā also, extracting many connotations from a sentence leads to a fault of 'split sentence' Mimāṁsā rules that if there is some injunction in one part, other parts of that sentence should be understood to be a laudatory passage to avoid Vākyabheda. If it is laid down that the inquiry into Dharma should be undertaken after the study of the Vedas, it does not mean that inquiry into Dharma is prohibited before Vedic studies
othewise the interpretation will lead to Vākyabhedha.
