Abstract

All of us who live in the world of the word communicate through language. When we use language as a medium for accurately communicating ideas, that is why it is obvious to arise misunderstandings while meanings shift, for example ‘दिनकरः अस्तं गतः’। in this example we find two different meanings. Such sentences come as ambiguous sentences. Thus we can say that language cannot exist without ambiguity. In this research paper I have tried to focus on ambiguity in the perspective of tatsama.
