has been previously said, not in the way of a mere repetition
or tautology, but in that of explanation, detailed comment
or emphasis; explanatory and corroborative reference, ex-
planation; e. g. bhūparidhimānānuvādaḥ ‘a detailed explanation
with reference to the measure of the earth's circumference
(mentioned before in the Golādhyāya)’; or, in Manu 2. 53.
the words khāni saṃspṛśet are an anuvāda to nivedya &c. 2. 51.,
because they give a detailed illustration of the general in-
junction contained in the latter verse. If a word is repeated
or an expression used which would seem superfluous, be-
cause not conveying a new notion, such repeated word or
such expression is anuvāda, provided a certain purpose be
connected with it, otherwise it would be simply punarukta or
a meaningless tautology, e. g. ghaṭo ghaṭaḥ or ghaṭaḥ kalasaḥ ‘a
jar is a jar’ would be a punarukta; but the repetition of paśyet
in Yājnav. 2. 1. from 1. 359. is an anuvādaḥ because it points
to the connexion between both passages and to the detail
which is to follow as an illustration of 1. 359.; or in Manu
1. 72. parisaṃkhyayā might be taken as an anuvāda to sahasraṃ,
because it imparts greater emphasis to the bare numeral.
2 In the ritual literature anuvāda designates those passages
of the Brāhmaṇa portion of the Vedas, which point to an
injunction given before (vidhi q. v.) and illustrate it by the
way of comment, or by entering into greater detail, or by
adding supplementary rules, but without stating the purpose
of the injunction itself as the latter would be the object of
the arthavāda (q. v.); the anuvāda being accessory, therefore,
to the vidhi portion of the Brāhmaṇa and precluded from
giving independent regulations, the supplementary rites they
contain are not considered of equal weight and as absolute
as those of the vidhi; there exists however sometimes a
difficulty to decide whether a passage of the Brāhmaṇas is
vidhi or anuvāda, or in other words whether its injunctions
are absolute or not, as appears from the discussion of the
Mīmānsists. (The Nyāya, supported by the commentaries
on the Mīmānsā, distribute the text of the Brāhmaṇa under
the three heads of vidhi, anuvāda and arthavāda qq. vv.; a
later division makes anuvāda one of the three categories
of the arthavāda.) 3 Report, e. g. kutsitārthānuvādaḥ. 4 Abuse,
reviling (? this meaning is given by several dictionaries on
the authority of the Śabdaratnāvalī, but, to judge from
the Mss. at my disposal, it would seem to proceed from
another reading or from a misunderstanding of the passage
of this work which contains the synonymes of ‘rumour’:
yathārthāniścitā vārttā bhavetsarvajanātmikā . kutsitārthānuvādo
vā kiṃvadantī janaśrutiḥ ..; the same might be said of the
meanings ‘abusive reply’ and ‘divulging another's misdeeds’
which occur also in some dictionaries). E. vad with anu,
