comparable to the one between ordered sets of elements-ganasexhaustively listed with respect to certain operations and groups of elements—referred to as 37fm -which only represent a part of an open set of items with some common characteristic(s). The question remains whether the view Patañjali espouses in the Mahābhāsya on 6.3. 109 can be considered to reflect Pāṇini's approach.
2. Consider now a group of sūtras which have two features in common: they refer to something as 'seen' and speak of other elements, using 32 or sale

2.1.1. 6. 3. 137 comes after a series of rules that provide for longvowel substitution. For example, El 31 884 of up 7&TUTFITfa1499मणिभिन्नछिन्नच्छिद्रस्रुवस्वस्तिकस्य । ६। ३। ११६ नहिवृतिवृषिव्यधिरुचिसहितनिषु क्वौ । ६॥ ३॥ १२२ उपसर्गस्य घज्यमनुष्ये बहुलम्।
According to 6. 3. 115, before of Uf 'ear in a compound, the final vowel of a term denoting a mark used as a brand (784) is replaced by a long vowel, except for the vowels of विष्ट, अष्टन् 'eight', पञ्चन् 'five', मणि 'jewel', भिन्न 'broken', छिन्। 'cut', छिद्र 'a cut', स्रुव 'sruva spoon', स्वस्तिक,e.g., दात्राकर्ण (-दात्रकर्ण) 'an animal with a sickle symbol as a brand on its ear' but 348ch of an animal with eight stripes on its ear'. By 6. 3. 116 long-vowel replacement applies to a final vowel of a prior term in a compound if this is followed by a derivate in fata from one of the following verbs : FE'gird, put on', 'turn, occur', 79 ‘rain', 24'pierce', 57'shine, please', 'bear', 77'stretch'; e.g., 3414€ (-3976) 'sandal', içe (Fiqo) 'a district, yiqq( )‘rain season'. 6.3. 122 provides that the final vowel of a preverb is replaced by a long vowel before a derivate in except in derivates that refer to a human (374567); in addition, the sūtra provides that this replacement applies variously (agm19). For example : atasta (-fakta) 'wetting particularly', 374186f (37441f) “wiping away', with lengthening, and SR prasāra 'spreading, expansion' without lengthening FIUTC 'a Nisāda', which refers to a particular human being, also does not show lengthening.
None of the rules from 6. 1. 115 to 6. 1. 136 provides for the long vowels of - in af 'fighting in which opponents grab each other by the hair', - in o f 'fighting in which opponents grab each other by
