Shabdabodha (E-book)
The Nyaya tradition explores how meanings are grasped through language. Shabdabodha, the comprehension of sentence meaning, examines how words (pada-s) arising from prakrti and pratyaya convey their meanings (padartha-s) and how these meanings combine to produce the unified cognition of a sentence.
In this e-book, the foundational ideas of Shabdabodha are presented in Sanskrit, based on the principles of Nyaya logic. It introduces key terms, definitions, and principles related to the role of pratyaya-s in generating sentence meaning. Presented in a clear and visually simple format, this book serves as an accessible guide to understanding how traditional Indian logic interprets the process of verbal cognition.
