anyonya vyatikara

 

The correct Devanagari spelling of anyonya 

vyatikara is अन्योन्यव्यतिकर.

Direct answer:

• अन्योन्यव्यतिकर is the standard continuous compound form.
• A separated form is also acceptable in some texts: अन्योन्य व्यतिकर.

✅ Meaning and Usage

अन्योन्यव्यतिकर (anyonya‑vyatikara) is a classical Sanskrit philosophical 

term meaning mutual contradiction, mutual interference, or mutual

incompatibility.

It appears frequently in:

• Nyāya logic (to describe mutually exclusive properties)
• Mīmāṃsā hermeneutics (conflicts between scriptural statements)
• Vyākaraṇa (grammar) when discussing incompatible operations
• Advaita Vedānta commentaries (mutually negating attributes)

The compound is a tatpuruṣa/sometimes bahuvrīhi‑like expression 

depending on context, but functionally it denotes a situation where two 

entities or statements negate or obstruct each other.

✅ Breakdown of the Devanagari Form

• अन्योन्य (anyonya) — “mutual,” “reciprocal,” “one another.”
• व्यतिकर (vyatikara) — “interference,” “contradiction,” “crossing over,” “conflict.”

When compounded, sandhi produces:

• अन्योन्य + व्यतिकर → अन्योन्यव्यतिकर

✅ Why You May See Slight Variants

Sanskrit compounds can appear in:

• Continuous form (preferred in classical editions):
  • अन्योन्यव्यतिकर
• Separated form (used in pedagogical or modern contexts):
  • अन्योन्य व्यतिकर

Both represent the same phrase; the continuous form is more traditional.

✅ Transliteration Notes

In IAST: anyonya‑vyatikara
In Harvard‑Kyoto: anyonya-vyatikara
In ITRANS: anyonya-vyatikara

The Devanagari spelling remains the same across transliteration systems.

✅ Contextual Example (non-copyrighted, original)

A typical philosophical usage might be:

• ete dharmāḥ anyonyavyatikarāt na sambhavanti —
  “These properties cannot coexist because they mutually contradict.”

I can also provide Devanagari for:

• anyonya‑āśraya (mutual dependence)
• anyonya‑anupapatti (mutual impossibility)
• vyatikara alone

Anyonya‑vyatikara means “reciprocal action, mutual interaction or

affecting one another.
