Radhika Herzberger which drew attention to the discussion of self-referential paradoxes in the work Vākyapadīya attributed to Bhartṛhari. In the chapter dealing with logical and linguistic relations, the Sambandha-samuddeśa, Bhartrhari discusses several statements of a paradoxical nature, including sarvam mithyā bravīmi "everything I am saying is false" which belongs to the liar paradox family, as well as the paradox arising from the statement that something is unnameable or unsignifiable (in Sanskrit: avācya): this becomes nameable or signifiable precisely by calling it unnameable or unsignifiable. When applied to integers, the latter is known today as Berry paradox. Bhartrhari's interest lies not in strengthening this and other paradoxes by abstracting them from pragmatic context, but rather in exploring how a stubborn paradox may arise from unproblematic situations in daily communication. An unproblematic situation of communication is turned into a paradox — we have either contradiction (virodha) or infinite regress (anavasthā) — when abstraction is made from the signification and its extension in time, by accepting a simultaneous, opposite function (apara vyāpāra) undoing the previous one. For Bhartrhari it is important to analyse and solve the unsignifiability paradox because he holds that what cannot be signified may nevertheless be indicated (vyapadiśyate) and it may be understood (pratīyate) to exist. Works Works attributed to Bhartr-hari include: Trikāṇḍī ("three books"), sometimes known under the inaccurate title Vakyapadiya The author wrote the commentaries (vṛttis) on the first two books, and probably died before he could do it for the third book. The title Trikāṇḍī was probably not chosen by the author, who originally conceived them as "relatively independent" works, but later thought of unifying them. Tripadi, also known as Mahabhashya-tika or Mahabhashya-dipika The earliest commentators on the text call it Tripadi, and the title Mahabhashya-dipika is known only from one manuscript. The author probably intended to write a commentary on the entire text, but died after completing the work on the three padas of Maha-bhashya. The title Tripadi was probably coined by someone other than the author. The currently surviving version of the work covers only the first seven ahnikas of hte first pada of Mahabhashya. It is known from a fragmentary manuscript. Shabda-dhatu-samiksha, now lost This work is attributed to Bharthari by the Kashmiri Shaivite authors Soma-nanda and Utpalacharya (9th-10th centuries). According to Utpalacharya, in this work, Bharthari described the concept of pashyanti, which he also discusses in the Trikandi. Possibly, a commentary on Jaimini's
