Dear list members,

I'm curious if the saying "satas svarūpāvyabhicāra" sounds familiar to anyone. I came across it while reading the Līlātilakam and it feels like it might be a quote, although the author doesn't mention a source.

In the Līlātilakam, it follows the saying "lakṣaṇaṃ hi svarūpam," in the context of a discussion on the nature of language and the suggestion that grammar is inherent to language, even if it is not written.

I'll be happy to hear your thoughts about this...

Thank you!
