NOTES : I. 4-36 उपमासु अपर्याप्तभदन्तावभासमूरुयुगम् । __ तदेव मृदितबिसदण्डविरसमालक्षयामह इदानीम् ॥
अच्छरिअं is अ The next verse shows that vowels other than ए and ओ may form a संधि, e. g., अत्य + आलोमण अत्थालोअण. The Sk. rendering of the verse is:
अर्थालोचनतरला इतरकवीनां भ्रमन्ति बुद्धयः। . अर्था एव निरारम्भं यन्ति हृदयं कवीन्द्राणाम्.
8. उत्तस्वर is defind as a vowel which is leftover when consonant associated with it is dropped. Such a vowel does not form संधि with the preceding one, e. g., गन्धउडि = गन्धकुटीम्. The verse is not quite clear in its meaning. सालाहण is सातनाहन; चक्काओ is चक्रवाकः where the उदृत्त vowel does form Sandhi.

.30. प्रत्यासत्ति is सांनिध्य or सामीप्य. Thus, e. g., अनुस्वार followed by a letter from Anot would be changed to é, and so forth.
31-36. These six Sátras give rules of genders of certain words in Prakrit. Normally the gender of a word in Prakrit is determined by the gender of its corresponding word in Sanskrit. Daviations from this alone are mentioned here. तरणि in Sk. is both mas. and fem., but
