There is no rea- where he says, that , i.e. which has the son at all why afg: of P. I. 1, 1, should be Anubandha , is employed in the Periphrastic valid in P. I, 1, 2. Like a frog, it may leap Perfect. Patañjali, however, desirous of acacross P. I. 1, 2 and alight on P. I. 1,3. This counting by Påņini's rules for Perfecta such as device has been resorted to by Patanjali seven ETHE, Eier, explains in P. III. 1, 40 times.

Now Katyâyana on various a short vowel often results from the coalition of occasions shows that Påņini's rule is not uni- two or more vowels. How this simple fact versally true, and he points out a number of may be turned to account in grammatical dispúrva-vipratishedhas, i.e. instances in which the cussions, may be seen from the following exampreceding rule must take effect in preference to ples. In Vol. I. p. 501, Katyâyana states that the subsequent rule. According to Patañjali, the single vowel T (ET), which by P. II. 4, 85 on the other hand, the special rules given by is substituted in the Periphrastic Future for the Katyayana are unnecessary, and the objections ordinary personal terminations for and ar, takes of that grammarian only show that he has not the place of the whole original terminationale fully understood the word para in P. I. 4, 2. not merely, according to P. I. 1, 52, of their final Para, amongst other things, also means 'de-letters), because it may be regarded as a comsired' (ishta), and what Påņini really teaches is, bination of the two vowels Str +37T; and that for that of two conflicting rules it is the desired this reason Påņini is justified in not attaching rule that should take effect, i.e. that role, what the Anubandha T to the substitute y compare ever be its position in the Ashtádhydy, the ap- P.

According to Patanjali, Påņini plication of which will lead to correct words. might similarly have omitted the Anubandha T Here again, then, we ought to possess a perfect of the terms in P.
