NOTES
1. MS 4.13.4; KS 16.21; AiB 6.6-7 (2.6-7); TB 3.6.6; A$yS 3.3; SSS 5.17.
2. Bharthari's independence from the influence of Mimatså when dealing with ritual details makes this a more likely assumption than that this stanza belonged to the Mimaths work in verse with which he appears to have been acquainted. See section 2, below.
3. Helaraja on Vakyapadiya 3.14.591 (590). p. 413 1. 24-25, quotes the same stanza and calls it tradition of the knowers of dha' (Ghavidam andyah).
4. The Ms reading has been cmended with the help of the quotation by Parthasarathi Miśra; see below.
5. All these texts have yad dvyak sardh salt caturak sardh kriyant [e].
6. Bharthari's example of truti is krdayasyagre'vadyati, atha jihāyās. atha vaksasah. The same example is given by Sabara under PMS 5.1.5.
7. bhavaddsena coktam: athata ity ayan sabda anantarye prayujyate. 8. Frauwallner (1968: 101) places him in the first half of the Sth century.
9. We must assume that Bharthari considers prayojana here synonymous with prayojaka "bringing about for the following reasons: () otherwise tatpreritas makes no sense; (ii) a few lines further down we find the explanation charmarya... prayojaka[k]. Joshi and Roodbergen (1973: 82 fn. 326) explain this meaning as follows: "The word prayojana is formed by adding the suffix Lyut (.e. ana, p. 7.1.1) to the stem prayuj, in the sense of karana: 'instrument' (P. 3.3. 117). Thus the meaning of prayojana can be analyzed as prayujyate anena tal prayojanam: 'that by which something is regulated is (called) prayojana'. Taken in this sense, prayojana comes to mean prayojaka: "regulator'. " It seems however more correct to account for prayojana in this sense by P. 3.3.113 (krtyalyupo bahulam). This is done, e.g., by Bhattoji Diksita in his Sabdakaustubha (vol. I, p. 11): atra prayujyate pravartyare 'meneli karapalyudantah prayojayarltl karirvyutpartyd bahulakat karirlyudanto va ubhayathapi pravartakavidhiparah pumlingah prayojanasabdu ekah / phalaparah klibo parah !.
10. Cr. Sabara's Bhasya on PMS 1.1.2: yo hi yagam anurishati tarh dhar mika itt samicuksale / yas ca yasyu kartása tena vapadilyale yutha pacako lavaka ini.
