पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।


Vāc, ‘speech,’ plays a great part in Vedic speculation, but only a few points are of other than mythological significance. Speech is in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa[१] divided into four kinds-that of men, of animals, of birds (vayāṃsi), and of small creeping things (kṣudraṃ sarīsṛpam). The discrimination or making articulate of speech is ascribed to Indra by the Saṃhitās.[२] The ‘speech’ of the following musical instruments-Tūṇava, Vīṇā, Dundubhi[३] --is mentioned, and in one Saṃhitā[४] also that of the axle of a chariot. The speech of the Kuru-Pañcālas was especially renowned,[५] as well as that of the northern country, according to the Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇa,[६] so that men went there to study the language. On the other hand, barbarisms in speech were known, and were to be avoided.[७]

One division of speech referred to[८] is that of the divine (daivī) and the human (mānuṣī), of which some specimens are given, such as om, the divine counterpart of tathā, and so forth. The Brahmin is said to know both;[९] it seems best to regard the distinction not as between Sanskrit and Apabhraṃśa, as Sāyaṇa[१०] suggests, but as between the Sanskrit of the ritual and the hymns and that of ordinary life.

Reference is also made to Āryan[११] and to Brahmin[१२] speech, by which Sanskrit, as opposed to non-Āryan tongues, seems to be meant. The Vrātyas are described as speaking the language of the initiated (dīkṣita-vāc), though not themselves initiated (a-dīkṣita), but as calling that which is easy to utter (a-durukta), difficult to utter.[१३] This may mean that the non-Brahminical Indians were advancing more rapidly than the Brahminical tribes to Prākrit speech, especially if it is legitimate to connect the Vrātyas with the barbarians in speech alluded to in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa.[७]

Vāc.--Grierson, in his discussion[१४] of the Paiśācī speech, holds that the passage cited as the speech of the Asuras in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, he 'lavo (= he 'rayaḥ),[१५] can be regarded as in Paiśācī just as much as in Māgadhī, since the change of r to l, and of y to v, is found in Paiśācī also. Sten Konow,[१५] however, considers that Paiśācī was the speech used in the Vindhya region. It would be unwise, as a matter of fact, to lay stress on the phrase he 'lavo, because both the reading and the sense are by no means certain.[१६] But it should be noted that the easterners and the Asuras are elsewhere in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa[१७] connected: this tells against Dr. Grierson's view.

वाच् स्त्री.
1. (उच्यते या सा, वच् + क्विप्) 1. अगिन्वेदि में चिनी जाने वाली विशिष्ट ईंट (टों) का नाम, मा.श्रौ.सू. 6.2.2.1०; 2. वाणी; एक देवता (वाग्देवता) के रूप में स्वीकृत, श्रौ.को. (सं.) 1.665, 691; का.श्रौ.सू. 14.2.14 (वाजपेय); वाङ्निधन।

  1. ↑ iv. 1, 3, 16. There are quite different accounts in the Kāṭhaka Saṃhitā, xiv. 5;
    Maitrāyaṇī Saṃhitā, i. 11, 5. Oldenberg finds traces of the origin of the legend in Rv. viii. 100;
    but see v. Schroeder, Mysterium und Mimus, 339 et seq.;
     Keith, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1911, 993 et seq.
  2. ↑ Taittirīya Saṃhitā, vi. 4, 7, 3;

  3. ↑ Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa, vi. 5, 1013;
    Taittirīya Saṃhitā, vi. 1, 4, 1;
    Maitrāyaṇī Saṃhitā, iii. 6, 8;
    Kāṭhaka Saṃhitā, xxiii. 4.
  4. ↑ Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa, loc. cit.
  5. ↑ Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, iii. 2, 3, 15. The difficult phrase has caused some doubt as to the sense, for uttarāhi vāg vadati Kurupañcālatrā seems to mean ‘speech in the north among the KuruPañcālas,’ this version being slightly supported by the Kāṇva recension of the passage quoted by Eggeling, Sacred Books of the East, 12, xlii. n. 1. That recension, however, is not merely obscure, but it seems to couple the Kurus with the northern Mahāvṛṣas (so we must emend Mahāviṣeṣu), and it cannot be relied on. Eggeling's attempt to remove the difficulty by taking uttarāhi as ‘higher’ in tone is not satisfactory. The most probable solution is that of Weber, Indische Studien, 1, 191, who takes Kurupañcālatrā to be ‘as among the Kuru-Pañcālas,’ which gives a good sense, especially when it is remembered that the northerners were probably the Uttara-Kurus in Kaśmīr, which seems to have been a home of Sanskrit (cf. Franke, Pāli und Sanskrit, 89).
  6. ↑ vii. 6.
  7. ↑ ७.० ७.१ Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, iii. 2, 1, 23. 24, where the Asuras are described as saying he 'lavaḥ, perhaps for he 'rayaḥ But the Kāṇva version is different See Eggeling, Sacred Books of the East 26, 31, n. 3.
  8. ↑ See Kāṭhaka Saṃhitā, xiv. 5;
    Maitrāyaṇī Saṃhitā, i. 11, 5 (where the words yaś ca veda vaś ca na replace the ordinary distinction of daivī and mānuṣī: perhaps vedo should be read);
    Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, vi. 2, 1, 34;
    Aitareya Brāhmaṇa, vii. 18, 13;
    Aitareya Āraṇyaka, i. 3, 1;

  16. ↑ It should be noted that the phrase cannot be genuine Prākrit as it stands, for that would not give us he 'lavo he 'lavaḥ.
  17. ↑ xiii. 8, 1, 5. Probably the view of the earlier part of the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa (iii. 2, 1, 23) would be the same, since its reputed author, Yājñavalkya is connected in tradition with the East. Dr. Grierson's argument would have been stronger had the reference occurred in one of the Śāṇḍilya books
