ASHOK AKLUJKAR
"As deduced by his commentators from a study of the Aṣṭadhyayi.
10 A corrollary of what I state here is that ahara patram patram ahara is primarily not an illustration of free word order in Sanskrit but of the peculiarity of generation of sentence constituents in Panini's grammar of the thesis that Panini presupposes free order, that in Panini's view variation in the placing of words has no bearing (of course, within limits) on words getting connected to each other.
While stating that prescription of particular sequences of derived words is not undertaken in Panini's grammar, Pa must presuppose that there can be such a prescription that there can be prayoga-niyama. He must, therefore, be said to have noticed and this is no great surprise or an advance over his predecessors - the phenomenon of specific ordering of words. His comment cannot, therefore, be interpreted to mean that, in his view, there is no preferred or common word order in Sanskrit.
12 Cf. patha-kramäd ärtha-kramo baliyan iti yathestam atrabhisambandhah. Kaiyata 1.1.58, that is, on our second passage here.

B Bhartṛhari. Trikandi or Väkyapadīya. I have reproduced the text of the Vṛtti from my critical edition (under preparation) of the TK. Those wishing to verify my references to the V prior to the publication of my edition should consult the editions by K. A. Subramania lyer: (a) Väkyapadiya of Bhartṛhari with the Vṛtti and the Paddhati of Vṛṣabha-deva. Poona: Deccan College Postgraduate and Research Institute. 1966. Deccan College Monograph Series 32. (b) The Vakyapadiya of Bhartṛhari, Kanda II with the Commentary of Punya-raja and the Ancient Vṛtti. Delhi, etc: Motilal Banarsidass, 1983. I have followed the enumeration of kärikäs in: Bhartṛhari's Vakyapadīya, Die Mula-kārikās nach den Handschriften herausgegeben und mit einem Pada-Index versehen. Ed. Wilhelm Rau. Wiesbaden: Kommissionsverlag Franz Steiner GMBH. 1977. Abhandlungen für die Kunde des Morgenlandes XLII, 4. Hence the numbers in my edition and those in the editions by Subramania lyer do not always match. However, they are not far removed from each other. See also "TP" below.
