Introduction: Human language is very interesting. The faculty of mind has infinite potential to create sentences. The revered Sanskrit philosopher of language, Bhartrhari, has judged the meaning to be one in mind though it manifests itself in many forms. This meaning in mind is the root of all varieties of behavioral language.” Although the meaning stands to be one butit is grasped through expression in vocal language. The meaning is illuminated through the Sphota in mind. The Sphota concept is like universal or linguistic type, as opposed to their tokens.” Sanskrit grammarians and philosophers of language alike accepted and configured the principles of the Sphota doctrine ina metaphysical way. They view Sphota as the language capability of a person, revealing his consciousness. This ultimate state of reality, which resides in a person’s mind, is stated as Sabda-brahma or Eternal-Verbum. This notion of Sphota described by Patanjali is further discussed by Bhartrhari at three levels Varna-sphota — At the syllable level pada-sphota — At the word level vakya-sphota — At the sentence level
