Tho sūtra as it is printed in the text seems to be alright. This sūtra is analogous to the sūtras of some of the Prakrit grammarians, Though RBh. has not mentioned from where the sūtra has been quoted, we can assume that he has not in this case followed Vr. because Vr. has no sūtra with r becoming I. But HC. has a sūtra rasor lasau (4.288), and other prakrit grammarians such as, pu, RT. and MK. have also similar type of sūtras. But we can assume that RBh. has not quoted from HC. However, the sutra rasor laśau of RBh. is quite grammatical and free from any defect.
ata et syāt Compare other Grammarians on this third sutra : (i) ata idetau luk ca—Vr. XI. 10. (ii) ata et sau pumsi māgadhyām--HC. 4.287. (iii) sau-pumsye lataḥ- Tv. 3. 2. 30. (iv) ataḥ sa (sā) vo de tau-pu. XIV.2 (v) adanta soride tau pumsi-pu. XII. 25. (vi) nesiti (editau) sau ca-pu. XV, 4. (vii) luk ca cchando vaşāt-pu. XIII.26 (viii) atastvi detāviha pumsi sau dvau na esi diśțhi ycchi vi e na esen
RT.2.25. (ix) sau pumsya de dit au-MK. XII. 26.
RBh. has quoted this sūtra “ata et syāt” which regulates the ending of nominative singular of a-base. In Māgadhi nominative singular of a-base becomes e, in this respect prakrit grammarians differ quite a lot. The Western prakrit grammarians such as HC., TV, and others say that in Māgadhi, nominative singular of a-base will take only e. The eastern prakrit grammarians such as Vr. pu. RT. and MK. say that the nominative singular of ā-base in Māgadhţ has three suffixes ei, and no suffix at all.
On ale pischel (23) remarks :
'It is attested by prthvidhara, in stenzler, p. V. and Godabole, p. 493. In the printed edition he speaks, but the MSS throughout indicate Māgadhi as in 161, 9 they have ale ale, in 161, 16 mäledha, in 165, 25 ale and in DH in Godabole p. 4499 too there occurs mâleda. In the introductory scene there is 32, 10=484 12 ed. Godabole H. āvutte. Wrongly analysed by BLOCH, Vr. and HC. p. 3. cf. 42.'
