Abhyankara Grammar
English
स्थानिवद्भाव behaviour of the substi- tute like the original in respect of holding the qualities of the ori- ginal and causing grammatical operations by virtue of those qualities. By means of स्थानिवद्भाव, the substitute for a root is, for instance, looked upon as a root
similarly, a noun-base or an affix or so, is look- ed upon like the original and it can cause such operations or be a recipient of such operations as are due to its being a root or a noun or an affix or the like. This स्यानिवद्भाव cannot be, and is not made also, a universally applicable feature
and there are limitations or restrictions put upon it, the chief of them being अल्विधौ or in the matter of such operations as are caused by the 'property of be- ing a single letter' (अल्विधौ). There are two views regarding this 'beha- viour like the original' : (l) suppo- sed behaviour which is only instru- mental in causing operations or undergoing them which is called शास्त्रातिदेदा and (2) actual restoration to the form of the original under certain conditions only as prescri- bed which is called रूपातिदेश. The रूपातिदेश is actually resorted to by some grammarians in the case of the reduplication of roots
cf. Kas. on द्विवेचनेचि P.I.1.59 and M.Bh. on P.I.1.59.See the word रूपातिदेश also. For details see Vol. VII p.p. 241- 243, Vyākarana Mahabhasya D.E. Society's Edition.
