विसर्ग aspiration, leaving of the breath generally at the comple- tion of the utterance of a word when there is a pause; the term विसर्जनीय was in use in ancient times. Although not mentioned in his alphabet by Pāṇini, this Phonetic element, visarga, is looked 43

upon as a letter; it is mentioned as one of the letters in the Śikṣā and the Prātiśākhya works and Patañjali has advised its inclusion in the alphabet. As visarga cannot be found in use indepen- dently of another letter (which is any vowel after which it occurs) it is called अयोगवाह.

विसर्जनीय same as विसर्ग which see above; cf. विसृज्यते पुनर्वर्णैर्न संबध्यते इति विसर्गः; Durgasiṁha on Kat. I. 1. 16. The term विसृष्ट is also used in the same sense. The visar- janīya has the same position (स्थान) in the mouth as the vowel after which it occurs. It is a glottal sound; the Ṛk-Prātiśākhya says that some scholars describe visar- janīya as a chest sound; cf. कण्ठयो- कार: प्रथमपञ्चमौ च द्वावूष्माणौ केचिदेतावुरस्यौ । R. Pr. I 18; cf. also उरसि विसर्जनीयो वा R. T. 3.

विसृष्ट the same as Visarjanīya or Visarga, which see above.

विस्थान belonging to a position of ut- terance (स्थान) other than the one assigned,or referred to; cf. विस्थाने स्पर्श उदये मकार; R. Pr. IV. 3.

विस्पष्ट clear and correct; the term is used in connection with the pronunciation of Vedic words; cf. यथो एतत् । अविस्पष्टार्था भवन्तीति Nir. I. 16.

विस्पष्टादि a class of words headed by the word विस्पष्ट which retain their own accents in a compound when they are the first members of a compound, provided that any word of quality is the second member e. g. विस्पष्टकटुकम् । व्यक्तलवणम् where the words विस्पष्ट and व्यक्त are used in the sense of clear, referring to the different tastes; cf. Kāś. On P. VI. 2.24.
