FW: [INDOLOGY] Terms for Negation ?

[Dipak Bhattacharya]

Regretfully, I did not note this. The Bālamanoramā cites this verse as the view of the prācīnas.
But this is negation not necessarily prohibition. The other classification
pertains to prohibition

Hello Stephen,

     The Nyāyakośa of Bhīmācārya Jhalkikar (2nd edition, BORI, Pune, 1928, p. 399) quotes a traditional verse giving six meaning of negation:

sādṛśyam tad-abhāvaś ca tad-anyatvaṃ tad-alpatā / aprāśastyaṃ virodhaś ca nañ-arthāḥ ṣaṭ prakīrtitāḥ //

No source is given for this verse, but I have heard it being cited when I was reading Śāstric Sanskrit works in Pune.  Best,

Madhav

Dear Colleagues,

The general term in tradtional Sanskrit grammars for negation is, of course,
pratiṣedha.  Due to my lack of in-depth familiarity with the traditional
grammars, I wonder if somebody might be able to help me.  I am trying to
find Sanskrit terms, if any, for the different sub-classes of negation, in
particular for the various types of "a-" (for the negative of privation
etc). All I can find are examples of about 6 sub-categories, but no
terminology. I am trying to retrovert with a modicom of accuracy some terms
from Tibetan. Any suggestions most welcome.

Best wishes,

Stephen Hodge
