Abhihitānvayavāda (अभिहितान्वयवाद).—m. a particular doctrine (or the follower of that doctrine) on the import of words, as opposed to अन्विताभिधानवाद, -वादिन् (anvitābhidhānavāda, -vādin). The anvitābhidhānavādins (the Mīmāṃsakas, the followers of Prabhākara) hold that words only express a meaning (abhidhāna) as parts of a sentence and grammatically connected with one another (anvita); that they, in fact, only imply an action or something connected with an action; e. g. घटम् (ghaṭam) in घटम् आनय (ghaṭam ānaya) means not merely 'jar', but 'jar' as connected with the action of 'bringing' expressed by the verb. The abhihitānvayavādins (the Bhāṭṭas or the followers of Kumārilabhaṭṭa who hold the doctrine) on the other hand hold that words by themselves can express their own independent meanings which are afterwards combined into a sentence expressing one connected idea; that, in other words, it is the logical connection between the words of a sentence, and not the sense of the words themselves, that suggests the import or purport of that sentence; they thus believe in a tātparyārtha as distinguished from vāchyārtha; see K. P.2 and Maheśvara's commentary ad hoc. °तिः (tiḥ) f. Naming, speaking &c.

Derivable forms: abhihitānvayavādaḥ (अभिहितान्वयवादः).
