changableness. It is indirectly learnt from the Satras of this grammar. How? The Satra Patrag an teaches the change of a to 77. But in the Sûtra itself a and 7, paraft and test, that for which a substitute takes place and the substitute, are not mentioned. Yes, they are not mentioned, it is true; but they are to be supplied from the preceding Sutra 'बो मः शबरे'. In this Sutra, we have बू as the स्थानी and not q; and unless a andą are interchangable, the Sâtra
Matemat will have no meaning. In order that the Sätra may not be meaningless, it becomes a 7795; that is, it teaches that of and are non-different. Therefore in 747, is dropped by Satay and we have लद्धं and in द्वितीयः, द् is dropped by 'कगटडतद-°and e interchanged with an, we have thus fadten, & is then shortened by 'ar quatent (p. 63 ) which teaches the shortening of in grafte, ferate, esto &c. and Q and r dropped by grat 3 कगचज-'. We have thus द्वितीयः finally changed to बिइओ or Ateit when the Sandhi takes place. Now a doubt is raised here that if a and q are interchangable, what is the meaning of the Satra at a:' (p. 80 ) which teaches that a is changed to ą? The solution is that ata:' is to be taken as a restrictive Sūtra (TAT) teaching that is changed to q only when it is not conjunct, not in the beginning of a word, and preceded by a vowel. But now another question is raised that fazeit-atsit cannot be set forth as an instance of the optional combination of vowels; since this form cannot be arrived at from fasti; for here two Sûtras regat.2181 vu and 'Fatmas' S1 XIUC are applicable ; cannot be dropped by the Sû tra
TECN6—3°; for q should be dropped before it by 'SATTA which succeeds the Sûtra 72596 according to the Paribhâshâsâtra 'fagrada qi facia' of Pâņini which teaches that when two rules of equal force are applicable, the succeeding one is held to be more powerful and to take effect. This difficulty is solved by the Sûtra 'agost' which has its power throughout the work. '7415318 319:' is a quo
