51:
Dxplanation.--The meaning is that the Sabda Naya does not concern itself about the differenceof synonymous words, but simply deals with them as if they were pure eguiralents of oneanother. The Characteristics and Instances of the subtle
(Samabhiridho) standpoint. ब्रूते समभिरुढोऽथ भिन्नपर्यायभेदतः।
भिन्नार्थाः कुंभकलशघटा घटपटादिवत् ॥१५॥ Brûte ramabhirûdhortham bhinnaparyâyabledatah,
Bhinnárthîh kumbhakalasaghații ghaaspítádivat.--15.
[ga speaks of; one the subtle standpoint; nä' sense ;fingefarea: by the difference in different synonyms ; furt: having different senses ; 417 2: the kumbha, kalasa and ghata--a jar, a jug and a pitcher ; vuelicaa like a ghatu-- a jar, a prta-cloth, etc.]
The Sambhirudha naya holds that, with the difference of the words expressing the object, the sigộificance of the object also differs : just as a jar (ghata) and a piece of cloth (pata) are different, so. a jar, a pitcher and a pot (kumbha, kalaša, and ghata, though synonyms) signify different things (according to their derivative sense': for instance, a ghata is that which makes a noise like ghat, ghat, and so on.) 15.
