sional offences against the rules of internal and external Sandhi, e.g. in agrihyamâna kâranah, I, 4, 12, 8; in skuptvâ, I, II, 31, 22, the irregular absolutive of skubh or of sku; in på dùna, I, 1, 2, 13; in adhâsanasayin, I, 1, 2, 21; and in sarvatopeta, I, 6, 19, 8; the neglect of the rule requiring vriddhi in the first syllable of the name Pushkara sâdi, I, 10, 28, 1; the irregular instrumentals vidyâ, I, 11, 30, 3, for vidyaya, and nih sreya sâ, II, 7, 16, 2, for nihsreya sena; the nominatives dual avam, I, 7, 20, 6, for å vâ m, and kruñkakrauñka, I, 5, 17, 36 for okrauñkau; and the potentials in îta, such as prakshalayîta, I, 1, 2, 28; abhiprasarayîta, I, 2, 6, 3, &c.

Words offending against rules given by Pânini, without being either archaic or Prakritic, are e.g. sarvânnin, I, 6, 18, 33, one who eats anybody's food, which, according to Pånini V, 2, 9, should be sarvân nîna; sarpasîrshin, I, 5, 17, 39; annasamskartri, a cook, II, 3, 6, 16; dhârmya, righteous, for dharmya, I, 2, 7, 21, and elsewhere; dîvitri, a gambler, II, 10, 25, 13, for devitri, the very remarkable form prâsñati, I, 1, 4, 1, for prå snâti, finds an analogy in the Vedic snyaptre for snaptrel and in Pali, pañha from prasña for prasna; and the curious compounds avângagra, I, 1, 2, 38, parângâvritta, II, 5, 10, 11, where the first parts show the forms of the nominative instead of the base, and pratisûryamatsyah, I, 3, 11, 31, which as a copulative compound is wrong, though not without analogies in Prakrit and in later Sanskrit 2.
