The propriety of '317:' in the Sûtra is that there is no doubling if the consonants are not preceded by a vowel - e.g. कास्यम्-कंसं । वयस्यः-वअंसो। संध्या-संझा। The propriety of stent:' in the Sûtra is clear from the following examples in which the consonant being in the beginning of a word is not doubled :स्खलितः-खलिओ। स्थूलः-थोरो । स्तम्भः-खंभो। When according to the Sutras (b) कगटड, (c) लवरामधश्च, and (d) मनयाम् two consonants are capable of being dropped, one or the other is dropped so as to suit the forms current in the Prakrita ( उभयप्राप्तौ यथादर्शनं लोपः)Sometimes the first member of conjunct consonants is dropped:उद्विग्नः-उव्विग्गो। द्विगुणः-बिउणो । द्वितीयः--बीओ। कल्मषम्-कम्मसं। सर्वम्-सव्वं । Sometimes the second member is dropped :काव्यम्-कव्वं । कुल्या-कुल्ला। माल्यम्-मलं । द्विपः-दिओ। द्विजाति:दुआई। Sometimes both are dropped by turns :-- द्वारम्बारं, दारं । उद्विग्नः-उविग्गो, उविण्णो। Why is 'अद्रे' used in the Satra 'कगटडतद° ?According to the Sutra 'धात्रीद्रे रस्तु' p. 44, र् is optionally dropped in the words धात्री and in द्र (as in चन्द्र). We have thus धत्तीरमणो for धात्रीरमणः when र is dropped and धारीरमणो when र् is not dropped; also चंद्रो or चंदो, रुद्रो or रुद्दो, इंद्रोइंदो । भद्रं-भई । मंद्रो-मंदो।. 'अद्रे' is accordingly used to prevent the dropping of when the optional dropping of does not take place. Trivikrama in his Vșitti on the Sûtra in regard to 'अद्रे' says-"अद्रे इति निषेधोयं 'धात्रीद्रे रस्तु' इति विकल्पिते रेफलोपे अप्राप्ते रकारलोपो ( दकारलोपो?) मा भूदिति ।" नन्वत्र वबयोरभेदन्यायस्त्वसंगत एव p. 16Here a doubt is raised in regard to the interchangableness of ą and ą. How is it to be established ? Is it learnt from other grammars? No. Because they do not teach this inter
