Note 280 — Chapter XII · THE JAIMINI-DARŚANA.
Edward B. (Edward Byles) Cowell translation
Dhvani, or our "articulate noise," produces the vibrations of air which render manifest the ever-existing sound. There is always an eternal but inaudible hum going on, which we modify into a definite speech by our various articulations. I take saṃskṛita here as equivalent to abhivyakta.
