# Hari-namamrta-vyakarana

The Hari-namamrta-vyakarana is a Sanskrit grammar composed by Jiva Goswami, in which all the technical terms in the sutras are names of Krishna or his associates.
Sri Jiva's inspiration for composing this book originated in Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's explanation of grammar in terms of Krishna's holy names, when he was a pandit in Nabadwip. This grammar was composed in two parts:Laghu-hari-namamrta-vyakarnana and Brhad-hari-namamrta-vyakarnana. A shorter version of the texts, known as Samksepa-Hari-namamrta-Vyakarana, ascribed to either Sri Jiva or Sri Sanatana Goswami is also extant.

This series of varṇas (the Sanskrit alphabet) appeared from Nārāyaṇa.[1] a ā i ī u ū ṛ ṝ ḷ ḷ‾ e ai o au ṁ ḥ. ka kha ga gha ṅa ca cha ja jha ña ṭa ṭha ḍa ḍha ṇa ta tha da dha na pa pha ba bha ma ya ra la va śa ṣa sa ha kṣa. ete varṇā akṣarāṇi. eṣām udbhava-sthānāni—a-ā-ka-varga-ha-visargāṇāṁ kaṇṭhaḥ. i-ī-ca-varga-ya-śānāṁ tālu. u-ū-pa-vargāṇām oṣṭhaḥ. ṛ-ṝ-ṭa-varga-ra-ṣāṇāṁ mūrdhā. ḷ- ḷ‾-ta-varga-la-sānāṁ dantāḥ. ed-aitoḥ kaṇṭha-tālu. od-autoḥ kaṇṭhauṣṭham. va-kārasya dantauṣṭham. anusvārasya śiro nāsikā vā. ----[1] In Pāṇini's system, the most popular system of Sanskrit grammar in India, the varṇa-krama in the form of the fourteen pratyāhāra-sūtras is said to have emanated from Lord Śiva. But in Hari-nāmāmṛta-vyākaraṇa the varṇa-krama is traced back to Lord Nārāyaṇa, who is glorified throughout the Vedic literature as the Supreme Lord. ----[BE1]Between this heading and the first sutra there is a note in course about the format of translation and order of commentaries etc.
Saṁśodhinī—The Sanskrit word varṇa is most literally translated as a phoneme, or speech-sound. To translate the word varṇa as a letter is erroneous, because a letter is defined as a written or printed symbol employed to represent a speech-sound. The phonemes, having arisen from Nārāyaṇa, are eternal whereas the letters used to represent them may vary. For example, before the introduction of printing into India in the eighteenth century, the script in which Sanskrit was written and taught varied from place to place and was the same, or almost the same as that used in writing the local vernacular language. The dissemination of printed Sanskrit texts, however, encouraged the predominance of one form of writing, the Devanāgarī script of central India in which the modern languages Hindī and Marāṭhī are also written. Today most Sanskrit publications are printed in this [null script][BE1] .
Explanation of varṇa-krama:
According to MW, varṇa-krama means “order or series of letters, alphabetical arrangement, alphabet.”
Amṛta explains varṇa-krama as varṇānāṁ kramaḥ kramaśo nirgamanam (“the issuing forth sequentially by the varṇas[1][MA2] ”).
Bāla offers the following explanation: varṇāni udbhūtāni tat-kramaś ca udbhūta ity arthaḥ (“Both the varṇas and their order appeared from Nārāyaṇa”).
Amṛta further explains that the word krama is formed by applying the kṛt pratyaya [gh]a[ṇ] after the dhātu kram[u] pāda-vikṣepe (1P or 4P, “to step, walk”) in bhāve prayoga. Thus the word varṇānām is not sambandha-ṣaṣṭhī here, rather it is the anukta-kartā taking ṣaṣṭhī by kartṛ-karmaṇoḥ ṣaṣṭhī kṛd-yoge. All of this will become clear in the Kāraka-prakaraṇa.
This samsodhini has one more sentence in course: " The sounds (varëas) of the Sanskrit alphabet are enumerated below in both Devanägaré script and roman transliteration."

The våttis (“fundamental explanations of the sütras”) were also written by Jéva Gosvämé. In the våttis, Jéva Gosvämé clarifies the sütra, gives examples, supplies extra information, and mentions the opinions of other grammarians. The Dhätu-saìgraha (“list of dhätus”) was also composed by Jéva Gosvämé. The Avyaya-çabda-saìgraha (“list of avyayas”), however, is an anonymous appendix, probably composed by Purédäsa, found only in some of the printed editions of the Hari-nämämåta, and the Gaëa-päöha (“list of gaëas”) belongs to Päëini.
Put a sentence like refer to the BBT pronunciation guide ..
Saàçodhiné—It will be explained in sütra 17 that all the varëas from ka to ha, the consonants of the Sanskrit alphabet, are dependent on the vowels for their pronunciation. That is to say, it is impossible to pronounce a consonant without the aid of a vowel. For this reason all the varëas from ka to ha are listed with an inherent a. But actually these varëas refer to the consonants themselves, regardless of the adjacent vowel. Thus the varëa ka refers to k, the varëa kha to kh, and so on. One should not be confused by the various labels such as “the varëa ka,” ka-räma, ka-kära, and k; they all refer to the same consonant k, never to k+a. This is the case for all the varëas from ka to ha. One should also be careful not to mistake kh, gh, ch, and so on, to be a combination of k+h, g+h, c+h, and so on, because in roman transliteration the h in kh and so on is employed merely to indicate that the varëa is an aspirated consonant. It is impossible for kh and so on to be conjunct consonants since in Sanskrit there are no conjunct consonants that have h as their second member.
The varëas from a to au, the vowels of the Sanskrit alphabet, are written differently when they come after a consonant. A, however, has no post-consonantal symbol and is assumed to come after every consonant unless there is another vowel or a viräma in its place. The post consonantal forms of the vowels are shown below with the consonant k to indicate their proper placement.
k( ka, k(A kä, ik( ki, k(L ké, ku( ku, kU( kü, k{( kå, k|( kè, k}( kÿ, k}{ k ÿ‾, ke( ke, kE( kai, k(Ae ko, k(AE kau.
The viräma ( ,) is a small oblique stroke, placed at the foot of a consonant, that is used to signal the deletion of its inherent a. Thus ak would be written in Devanägaré as @k,(. The symbol called avagraha (') and the various conjunct consonants will be explained in Saàçodhiné 67 and Saàçodhiné 82 respectively. Extra symbols are also employed in the Devanägaré script for the purpose of basic punctuation. For example, the sign / is used at the end of a half-verse or sentence, and the sign // at the end of a verse or paragraph. The numbers of the Devanägaré script are as follows:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 |
maybe use a different font which more accurately represents the character
Pratyähära-sütras
Generally the alternate monosyllabic names found in the våttis of the Saàjïä-sandhi-prakaraëa, like the name al here, should be assumed to be pratyähäras from Päëini's Añöädhyäyé. Where this is not the case, we will list the source of the name separately. Pratyähära literally means “withdrawal.” In grammar, however, the term pratyähära refers to the abbreviation of a series of varëas into one syllable by combining the first member with the indicatory letter of the last member. It is said that Lord Çiva revealed the following 14 pratyähära-sütras (often called the Maheçvara-sütras or Çiva-sütras) unto the sage Päëini, author of the famous Añöädhyäyé (literally, “a collection of eight chapters”), by sounding his òamaru drum. All the pratyähäras like al are formed by means of these sütras:
1. a i u[ë]; 2. å ÿ[k]; 3. e o[ì]; 4. ai au[c]; 5. ha ya va ra[ö]; 6. la[ë]; 7. ïa ma ìa ëa na[m]; 8. jha bha[ï]; 9. gha òha dha[ñ]; 10. ja ba ga òa da[ç]; 11. kha pha cha öha tha ca öa ta[v]; 12. ka pa[y]; 13. ça ña sa[r]; 14. ha[l].
In these pratyähära-sütras the letters in brackets are indicatory letters, not to be counted among the group of varëas indicated by the pratyähära. And a, i , u, å, and ÿ in the first two sütras stand for both the long and short forms of those vowels--a and ä, i and é, u and ü, å and è, and ÿ and ÿ‾ respectively. The pratyähära al therefore indicates the group of varëas beginning from a in the first pratyähära-sütra and ending with ha, which has the indicatory letter l, in the fourteenth pratyähära-sütra. Thus the pratyähära al indicates the whole alphabet. Similarly The pratyähära ac indicates the group of varëas beginning from a in the first pratyähära-sütra and ending with au, which has the indicatory letter c, in the fourth pratyähära-sütra. Thus the pratyähära ac indicates all the vowels. Other pratyähäras are made in the same way. In these sütras both ha and the indicatory letter ë appears twice. Although this may seem to cause problems, they are resolved as follows: The pratyähära aë is conventionally understood to be formed with the indicatory ë in the first sütra, while the pratyähära ië is conventionally understood to be formed with the indicatory letter ë in the sixth sütra. It was necessary to repeat ha twice in these sütras so that it could be included in such pratyähäras as haç and ië, and at the same time be included in pratyähäras like val, jhal, and çal. In pratyähäras like al and hal where ha appears twice it should not be taken as two separate varëas.
Alternate readings of the varëa-krama:
In the Haridäsa, Purédäsa, and Caitanya Maöha editions, which are all based on Bäla, kña is included as the final member of the alphabet. But in the Kåñëadäsa edition, which is based on Amåta, kña is not to be found. Indeed, its absence is confirmed by the following excerpts from the Amåta commentary on this sütra: a-rämädi-ha-rämänto varëa-kramaù (“the alphabet beginning with a and ending with ha”) and varëänäm ekona-païcäçat-prakäratvaà darçitaà (“the alphabet is shown as being 49- fold”). Furthermore, kña is generally not included in the alphabets listed in other Sanskrit Grammars [null also] .
Çréla Prabhupäda also gives an interesting explanation of the name Adhokñaja which supports the inclusion of kña: “And in Sanskrit, as in English it is A to Z, similarly in Sanskrit, a, ä, i, u, and the end is kña. So a and kña, that is called akña. Akña-ja. And ja means generated. So we also compose words, those who are Sanskrit scholars, they compose words from a to kña, just like English they compose words from A to Z. So our mental speculation and advancement of education is limited between this a and kña, akña. Akña-ja. But Kåñëa is adhokñaja. Adhokñaja means where these kinds of speculation, beginning from a to kña, will not act. Therefore His name is Adhokñaja. Adhaù kåta, cut down.” (Lecture on Çrémad-Bhägavatam 1.8.19—Mäyäpura, September 29, 1974).
Amåta—Someone may wonder, “It was stated that the varëas and their order appeared from Näräyaëa, but from where did each varëa appear?” To answer this, Jéva Gosvämé specifies each varëa’s place of appearance:
Våtti—The place of appearance of these varëas is as below and so on.
The place of appearance of a, ä, ka-varga (ka, kha, ga, gha, ìa), ha, and visarga (ù) is the throat of Näräyaëa.
The place of appearance of i, é, ca-varga (ca, cha, ja, jha, ïa), ya, and ça is the palate of Näräyaëa.
The place of appearance of u, ü, and pa-varga (pa, pha, ba, bha, ma) is the lips of Näräyaëa.
The place of appearance of å, è, öa-varga (öa, öha, òa, òha, ëa), ra, and ña is the top of the palate of Näräyaëa.
The place of appearance of ÿ, ÿ‾, ta-varga (ta, tha, da, dha, na), la, and sa is the teeth of Näräyaëa.
The place of appearance of e and ai is the throat and the palate of Näräyaëa.
The place of appearance of o and au is the throat and the lips of Näräyaëa.
The place of appearance of v is the teeth and the lips of Näräyaëa.
The place of appearance of anusvära (à) is either the head or nose of Näräyaëa.
Saàçodhiné—Because the varëas appeared from Näräyaëa in these specific places, these are the proper places to pronounce the varëas. The varëas a, ä, ka-varga (ka, kha, ga, gha, ìa), ha, and visarga (ù) are called kaëöhya because their place of pronunciation is the throat (kaëöha). The varëas i, é, ca-varga (ca, cha, ja, jha, ïa), ya, and ça are called tälavya because their place of pronunciation is the palate (tälu). Other names, also made according to the place of pronunciation, are shown below along with their English equivalents.

Amåta—Explanation of Näräyaëa:
The pratyähäras have been dealt with only briefly in this book; for more details consult Añöädhyäyé or Siddhänta-kaumudé.
In this sütra Näräyaëa is the apädäna (“origin”) by prabhave tat-sthänam (982), because the eternal varëas, already existing within the Lord, are manifest from Him. The word näräyaëa then becomes näräyaëät as an apädäna takes païcamé (“the fifth case ending”) by apädäne païcamé (981). Here Bäla says Näräyaëa is an apädäna by janane prakåtiù (983), but that is incorrect as the varëas are eternal sounds and thus are not produced at any time. In this regard, Jéva Gosvämé defines the difference between prabhava and janana in våtti by saying prabhavaù prathama-darçanam, jananam utpattir iti bhedaù (“Prabhava is the first sight of something that already exists, while janana is the appearance of something that didn’t exist previously”).
The meaning of the word ity-ädéni, “these and so on”, at the end of this våtti will be seen in sütras 15, 25, 131, and 132 where further varëas and their places of pronunciation are mentioned.
"Either" would be better than "also" here.

This is not the right aksara.
Here the word nara (“human”) means a Vraja-väsé (“resident of Våndävana”), and the whole community of Vraja-väsés is called nära. The vigraha (“separation of the constituent words”) of the compound word näräyaëa is: näram ayanam yasya saù näräyaëaù (“Näräyaëa is He whose shelter is the Vraja-väsés”) Thus the word näräyaëa here means Çré Kåñëa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead who appears in a human-like form.
This understanding is backed up by the Bhägavatam (10.25.18): tasmän mac-charaëaà goñöhaà / man-näthaà mat-parigraham, where Kåñëa Himself states that the Vraja-väsés are His shelter, His protectors, and His family. In this verse the word goñöham implies the goñöha-väsés, and goñöha-väsés means vraja-väsés because the word goñöha is a synonym of the word vraja. Kåñëa says that the Vraja-väsés are His shelter because He, being controlled by their love, is unable to even bathe, drink, eat, sleep, or enjoy without them. Thus in the Ädi Puräëa Kåñëa tells Arjuna:
sahäyä guravaù çiñyä
bhujiñyä bändhaväù striyaù
“The gopés are My assistants, My gurus, My disciples, My maidservants, My relatives, and My consorts. O son of Påthä, I tell you the truth. What aren’t the gopés for Me?”
Even though the word näräyaëa can be used to express any viñëu-tattva, it primarily refers to Kåñëa, because He is the original Näräyaëa and because the avatäras headed by Matsya and Vämana, and even the three Puruñas are His parts (aìgas). This is corroborated by Lord Brahmä's statement in Bhägavatam (10.14.14):
näräyaëas tvaà na hi sarva-dehinäm
näräyaëo ’ìgaà nara-bhü-jaläyanät
“Are You not the original Näräyaëa, O supreme controller, since You are the Soul of every embodied being and the eternal witness of all created realms? Indeed, Lord Näräyaëa is Your expansion, and He is called Näräyaëa because He is the generating source of the primeval water of the universe. He is real, not a product of Your illusory Mäyä.”
In his commentary on this verse, Çrédhara Svämé gives the following definitions of the name Näräyaëa: näro jéva-samüho ’yanam äçrayo yasya saù (“He whose abode is the aggregate of jévas”), and närasyäyanaà pravåttir yasmät saù (“He from whom the aggregate of jévas arises”). In explaining the phrase näräyaëo ’ìgam in this verse, Çrédhara Svämé gives an alternate etymology of the word näräyaëa for when it is used to refer to the well-known Näräyaëa who is a plenary portion of Kåñëa: naräd udbhütä ye ’rthäç catur-viàçati-tattväni tathä naräj jätaà yaj jalaà tad-ayanäd yo näräyaëa prasiddhaù so ’pi tavaiväìgaà mürtiù (“That Näräyaëa who is well-known because of His entering the twenty-four elements that appeared from Nara and the water that was produced from Nara, is also Your plenary portion”).
In his Bhägavatam commentary named Krama-sandarbha, Jéva Gosvämé defines Näräyaëa in the following way: naräëäà dvitéya-tåtéya-puruña-bhedänäà samüho näraà tat-samañöi-rüpaù prathama-puruña eva; tasyäpy ayanaà pravåttir yasmät sa näräyaëaù (“Nära means the first Puruña, Käraëodaka-çäyé Viñëu, the aggregate form of the Naras who are the second and third Puruñas, Garbhodaka-çäyé Viñëu and Kñérodaka-çäyé Viñëu. Näräyaëa is He from whom even Käraëodaka-çäyé Viñëu arises”).
Saàçodhiné—It is well known that Lord Caitanya often called Advaita Äcärya, the celebrated incarnation of Mahä Viñëu (Käraëodaka-çäyé Viñëu), by the name Näòä. This is recorded both in the Caintanya-bhägavata and in the Caitanya-caritämåta. For example, in Caitanya-bhägavata (Madhya 2.264), Lord Caitanya says “By your loud chanting and Näòä's roaring I left Vaikuëöha and came here with My associates.” In his Gauòéya-bhäñya commentary to this verse, Çréla Bhaktisiddhänta Sarvasvaté Öhäkura explains the word näòä as follows:
“The editor of Çré Sajjana-toñaëé, Çrémad Bhaktivinoda Öhäkura, has written in Volume 7, Part 11, as follows: “Çréman Mahäprabhu often addressed Çréla Advaita Prabhu as Näòä. I have heard a number of meanings of the word näòä. Some Vaiñëava scholar has said that the word närä refers to Mahä-Viñëu because nära, the total aggregate of all living entities, is situated within Him. Is the word näòä a corruption of the word närä? The people of Räòha-deça often use òa in place of ra. Is this the reason that the word närä has been written as näòä? This meaning is often applicable.” The word nära or närä (näòä) is explained by Çrédhara Svämipäda in his Bhävärtha-dépikä commentary on Çrémad-Bhägavatam (10.14.14) as follows: “The word nära refers to the aggregate of living entities, and the word ayana refers to the shelter. You are Näräyaëa Himself because You are the supreme shelter of all embodied souls. You are Näräyaëa because all the propensities (ayana) of the living entities (nära) emanate from You. You are the supreme Näräyaëa because You know (ayana) all living entities (nära). You are renowned as Näräyaëa because You are the supreme shelter (ayana) of the water that emanates from Nara.” In the småtis it is stated: “All the truths born from Nara are known as närän by the learned scholars. Since the Supreme Lord is the shelter of this närän, learned scholars glorify Him as Näräyaëa.” In the Manu-saàhitä (1.10) it is stated: “The waters are called nära, for they emanate from the Supersoul, Nara. As they are His original resting place (ayana), He is named Näräyaëa.””
See the last sütra of Kådanta-prakaraëa.
The Näräyaëa referred to here is Garbhodaka-çäyé Viñëu. Garbhodaka-çäyé Viñëu is also called Nara. When Nara entered the universe, He saw that within the universe there was only darkness and space, without a resting place. Thus He filled half of the universe with water from His own perspiration and laid Himself down on the same water. Because this water in the form of perspiration was produced from Nara, it is called Nära, and because Nara lies down on this water he is called Näräyaëa (“One whose resting place is the water called Nära”).
