80. It is also interesting to notice that in many places the text of the Artha-datra is so sensitive that by a slight change it turns into a verse, e.g., by omitting the words iti, vydlhydian, etc., or by adding or altering a few letters. A change in the construction will sometimes have the same effect. The following specific examples will give a better idea of what
meant.
