Note 307 — Chapter XIII · THE PÁṆINI-DARŚANA.[307]
Edward B. (Edward Byles) Cowell translation
Mádhava uses this peculiar term because the grammarians adopted and fully developed the idea of the Púrva-Mímáṃsá school that sound is eternal. He therefore treats of sphoṭa here, and not in his Jaimini chapter.
