The execution. The corollary of the "question" (in the introduction) is the answer (in the execution). But here we prefer the term "predications" as it neutralizes the difference between nikṣepas with and nikṣepas without "question" (see above). The "question" may but need not consist of a sentence having the catch-word as its subject. ("lokaḥ ekaḥ, lokaḥ sa-antaḥ"). A complete survey of all the predications cannot be given, but the following analytical observations may be found useful. The word nana (as) part of the catch-word) attracts the element "jāṇai, pasai", the determinant davva attracts the element "davva", and the determinant bhāva attracts "bhava", "pajjava", as well as "vanna, gandha, rasa, phasa". The catch-word (supplied in the programme on the basis of the preceding text) does not necessarily recur in the execution. There are the following changes: -

The element "jānai, pasai" is restricted to $$10, 12, 14-17, 19. Like "jāņai, pāsai", the change of the catch-word is restricted to cases where the catch-word contains "nāņa".
Concluding sentence. Such sentences are only found in duced by "se ttam" or "tattha").

The formula used for the determinant is of special importance. A survey of all passages with determinants (nikṣepas, close parallels, remote parallels) would bring together a very considerable quantity of dialectical material. As suggested by the name, the "davvao" nikṣepa uses the ablative (substantive plus ablative ending). $18 has additional determinants with a different formula: egam purisam paducca etc. Determinants following this formula consist of at least two words (paducca and a substantive in the accusative). A third formula is obtained, if the nikṣepa-like character of $13 (vs.4) is accepted: kāleņa etc. (substantive plus instrumental ending). Two more formulas will be given below (No.67).
