Appendix A. [Views of Sākalya, Māndavya, Kohala and Kapila as collected from the texts of Purusottama, Rāmatarkavāgisa and Mārkandeya with their English Translation] Purusottama on Sakalya.
1. Dhätorbhavisyati hiḥ// VI. 13.
ssasca Sakalyasya // VI. 14.
Eng. Tr. According to Sakalya ssa is used in the future tense, while generally hi will come before the terminations. Råmatarkavāgāśa' on Sakalya and Mändavya and Kapila.
2. Svārthe matau kevalam alla-ellau Sākalya-Māņdavya-mate ha-kāraḥ// I. V. 19.
cf. MK. IV. 48. Eng. Tr. In the sense of "matup" the suffixes alla or ella are used pleonastically; but according to sākalya and Māndavya ha can, however, be used in such a case. As for example:
ekkallo, ekkel!o, but ekkaho, puttallo, puttello, but puttaho. 3. Ktvārthe [tu-tum] śamsanti ke'pi dhiräḥ Sākalya-Māņdavyamate vilokya// I. V. 23.
cf. Pu. IV. 24. MK. IV. 38. Eng. Tr. Following the teachings of Śākalya and Māņdavya, some grammarians prescribe tu or tum (or tuman if Dolci's reading) in the sense of “ktya”.
4. tujjhe ca tushe sasi vo ca vacyāḥ Sākalya-Māndavya-mate tu tumbhe// I. VI. 25.
cf. Vr. VI. 28-29. MK. V. 83-84. Eng. Tr. tujjhe, tumhe and vo will be found in the accusative plural (sasi) [of the second personal pronoun]; but according to Sākalya and Māņdavya the form tumbhe also will be used.
5. Sākalya-Māndavya-mate tu eva bhavya kta-tum-ktvāpara editau ca// I. VII. 14.
cf. Vr. VII. 28. MK. VI. 7. Eng. Tr. According to sākalya and Māņdavya e or i may optionally be used in the past participle (kta), in the infinitive (tumun) and in the indeclinable perfect participle (ktvā); [while in general the suffix will be avi].
