THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
[MAY, 1882.
The correct rendering of the sútra would, I think, be-"Lit is kit after the radicals indh and bhu," or in other words-"The termina- tions called lit are as if they have an indicatory k when they follow the radicals indh and bhd." It is the terminations--not the radicals--that are made to have the it k. The office of k in the case of the root bhú (for we are not now concerned with indh) is to provent the guna change of the final 1 by I. 1, 5. The rule I. 2, 6, although it speaks of all the termina tions called lil, was really needed for nal and thal, as by the preceding sútra, I. 2, 5, the other terminations, atus, us, &c., would have an indicatory k when following such a root as bhi The vårttika of Katyâyana to this sûtra is

at feit og THPT Thasht qraft II The reason given here for treating the rule as unnecessary as regards bha is that vuk is nitya. This has reference to the setra VI. 4, 88, which teaches that vuk shall be the augment of bhi when lun or lit beginning with a vowel follows. To understand the expression that this vuk is nitya, it is necessary to examine the
paribhashás 38 and 42 in Någesa's Paribháshendusekhara. If there are two rules, a and b, which are applicable simultaneously, and which are such that a would apply, whether b has taken effect or not, but, on the other hand, b would apply only if a has not taken effect; then a would be called nitya and b anitya. Of two such rules the nitya has greater force than the anitya, even if the latter be para. Now, the two rules, VI. 4, 88, which teaches the augment vuk, and VII. 3, 84, which teaches the substitution of guna, are two such rules. The former would apply, whether the latter has taken effect or not, for may be added to bhí as well as to bho. But if the former has first taken effect and bhav has been obtained, the latter would cease to be applicable. For as paribháshá XI teaches that an augment is part of that to which it is added, the whole form bhav would be a base, and its vowel i cannot be changed to o by VII. 3, 84, as it is not final, nor by VII. 3, 86, as it is not short. The rule, VI. 4, 88, is therefore nitya, and VII. 3, 84 anitya. The former should therefore apply, and not the latter, and hence the guņa change does not take place and we get the correct words and it with out the aid of I, 2, 6.
